Needed a board and minimop was there to help. Avoid the bigger shops and go to here - super chill, gives it to you straight. I've rented boards from both and wish I had just gone through minimop for all. Heiner was extremely nice and helpful, gave us exactly what we needed and our day was perfect. Highly recommended.
