Impulse Surf Products

Franklin is an amazing dude. I brought in a board I had buckled and was sure it was done. Franklin not only fixed the board but did it in less time than he told me and charged me less. Top notch service and very professional craftsmanship.

Franklin did an amazing job finishing a board that I painted. He diligently took into consideration my work and made sure that the coatings he used were compatible with the media I used in the painting. The board turned out beautiful! I highly recommend Impulse. Franklin is very knowledgable in his line of work and is very willing to share his knowledge throughout his process.

Very disappointed in my dealing with owner Franklin Pierce at Impulse Surf. The facts: 1. He charged twice as much to glass my wooden board as three other surf shops. I only agreed to the price because no one else could get it done inside of three months. After making it clear at our initial meeting that I needed this board ASAP to deliver to a client in Manhattan Beach, he said it would only take a couple of weeks. When I called a week later to check on the progress, he hadnt begun the work 2. After encountering several challenges, Franklin began making excuses for not being able to deliver the board in time. He said that he needed to strip the glass and start over, but would be charging even more money to redo what he couldnt get right the first time. When I asked him just to finish sanding and polishing the board, he insisted upon being paid an additional $200 before giving me my board back unfinished. 3. When I took the unfinished surfboard to a ding repair shop in Encinitas who agreed to complete the work for an additional $250, I found out that the work Franklin had done was substandard. 4. I returned to Impulse Surf to pick up a bottle of India ink that I had left there, and reported to Franklin my new understanding of the problem with his lack of knowledge as well as with his work. When I proposed that he refund the $200 he had additionally charged for work that had to be redone, he called me a fucking asshole, told me to get out of his shop and that he never wanted to see me again.

I brought in a surfboard that needed repair work done to the fin. Franklin did a wonderful job with the repair work. He is very reasonable with his pricing. His work is excellent . He is very much a perfectionist as well as a gifted artist that is devoted to his trade.
