Brave New World Surf & Snow

Its often overlooked by those that don't know or understand what it takes to successfully run a shop like this, in an area like this, for as long as they have....that the fact they are still here and going strong for all these years when so many other surf/skate/ski shops come and go like ships in the night...this alone is almost all the review you need. They still get great gear, still believe in realistic prices (and sales/discounts when you hit them are legit) and have a cool, knowledgeable staff. They have a formidable local following akin to each or their locations, and continue to keep this core audiences needs in focus when they buy and stock the appropriate gear for NJ waves and NE slopes. I've purchased gobs of surf and snowboard gear with them, most notably in the last 15-20 years living in or around Monmouth Ocean Co., rarely do I not find the product or guidance I'm seeking. Yes, like most shops their size, they need to maintain a healthy plethora of tourist-aimed beach products, shirts, etc. but this is what likely pays the bills and allows them to continue to serve the hardcore surf/skate/snow community where other shops fall short or simply fail. Trust and understand this as you bob and weave thru those tshirts racks on your way to the board racks and wetsuits. Did I mention to hit those seasonal sales?? Mark your calendars my dudes

I was hesitant to try this place because of the reviews but man I was pleasantly surprised and definitely impressed! I was helped by Paul and he was amazing!! I went in to find boots and bindings for my new board and he helped me find the perfect fit. Will be going back for sure for anything snowboard related!!!

I understand there is a staff shortage but the store is a disaster. There is a leaking ceiling with NO wet floor sign. They have a bucket to catch the leak but again they have no sign and its very easy to run into or trip over the bucket. You get wet while shopping. The store is not size inclusive. There is no excuse to not carry Multiple L and XL items when the Point Pleasant shop has some. There jeans and shorts don't go past a size 11 which is awful. The one worker I did see who did register this time and last time was amazing and such a sweet girl but I don't know if I want to go back with no dressing rooms open and it being so hard to return something there. Its very disheartening finding something you love but you are unsure if you can buy it because it won't fit and you can't even try it on.
