Reader’s Choice: Best Sporting Goods Store

With spring here, kids locally are participating in a variety of sports. Patch wants to know where is the best place to purchase sporting goods.


April is here and kids across Long Beach are playing baseball, softball, lacrosse and soccer. While youngsters need cleats, bats, lacrosse sticks and gloves, the warm weather also brings out the surfers, bikers, boaters, sport fishers and volleyball players. This week, Patch wants to know what sporting goods store you trust to buy your needed gear.

Readers’ Choice is a weekly feature where we ask you – our readers – to tell us your top picks on the businesses and local attractions that get your loyalty.
Each Monday we’ll list our nominees recommendations. Did we leave your go-to spot off the list? Go ahead and add it in comments.

On Friday we’ll tabulate all of the poll votes, comments, recent directory reviews and emails and crown a Reader’s Choice. Please only vote once in the poll, because any attempt to game the results could end up in your favorite businesses being disqualified.

Here are our nominees:

Maritime Surf

Long Beach Bicycle

UnsOund Surf

Buddy's Bikes

Long Beach Surf Shop
