“This shop is legendary. I came in with two of my boards that were pretty beat up and they came out looking better than when I first bought them! The Ropers were amazing, kind, accommodating, and super fair with the prices. The best part was how fast they were! 10/10 recommend if you ever need a repair - this is the shop to go to."

“Roper’s always goes above and beyond to keep all my boards finely tuned! No matter what the damage has been, they always stand behind their work, provide immaculate results and educate me along the way. Highly recommend!”

“There is nothing you can do to a surfboard that Joe Roper's can't fix! Absolutely love the service provided by Joe and Jojo. Don't take your board anywhere else!"

“I usually do my own board repairs, but I broke a couple fin boxes and didn't have time to fix it, so I tried Joe Roper's. They went over and above on the repair, matched the color, and made the board look and feel great. The staff and Jojo are friendly and helpful, and their work is quality. I highly recommend this shop.”

"Roper's did it again! They successfully fixed another one my surfboards. I now have had three of my boards repaired there, from minor dings to scratches and fin issues; they can do it all. Would 100% go back!"
