For this review let me make a few important clarifications. First Robert August does not work, or live in HB for that matter. He spends nearly all of his time in Coata Rica, and only periodically vists HB. Second, I am not a professional surfer and this location is not where the boards are shaped (made).
This location is little more than small cramped show room where the boards are kept shortly before clients pick them up.
Some previous reviews fail to understand that this is NOT the Robert August surf shop in downtown HB. That wonderful era, one when I was young man and brave enough to elbow into waves at the pier, has sadly passed.
The showroom is small, but nice. I was treated very well and my board, shaped to my specifications was perfect.
I asked if Robert August could sign my board, and to my shock arrangements were made so that could be achieved. I am very very very grateful.
Thus I have nothing bad to say about this little shop. I invite anyone else to buy a board here.
