Where 2 Go In Orange County

An Old Surf Shop with an Edge

January 10th, 2008

The Frog House is the place to go if your looking for place that will bend over backwards for their customers. Speaking from personal experience I can tell you that there is no more customer oriented surf shop in the land. I was looking for a board, and not being a long time surfer, I had no idea what I was looking for or what would fit me. Instead of pushing me for that incredibly awesome new surfboard, the staff helped me get comfortable with a nice used board. Let me tell you, they couldn’t have helped me make a better decision. There is an assortment of new and used surfboards, some used ones are on consignment, but everything in there is in good shape. Read the rest of this entry »

Sports Nutrition and Juice Bar

February 3rd, 2007

Looking for a healthy smoothie and a place to pick up your entire nutritional supplement needs? Then we have the place for you. If you’re in the Costa Mesa/Newport Beach area, then you’re in luck. On 17th street there is a little Juice Bar with the best after workout smoothies around, or any time smoothies for that matter. I’ve had a few of them and trust me; they really are better than some of the big chain smoothie makers.
Sports Nutrition Superstore has two parts to it. The one side has everything you might want in terms of supplements, you know the protein powders, energy bars, stuff like that. It’s like a GNC but from what I can tell it much cheaper and with all the same brands. Plus the people that work there actually know what they’re talking about. The other side of the place is a juice bar (Octane Bar) and clothing, complete with dressing rooms. While my drink was being made I had to check out some of the fight gear that was in there. They carry brands such as Tap Out, Booya and bunch of other clothing lines you might see in an MMA octagon. The clothes range from shirts and pants, to hats and fighting gloves. They pack a serious amount of stuff in a small little place.
So if you’re looking for an alternative to Jamba Juice and you need to pick up some dietary supplements, then Sports Nutrition Superstore is your place.

Where to find the Juice:

222 East 17th Street
