The owner is the real deal, deeply rooted in the community, well-connected in the industry, and always down to share stories about legendary skaters he knows personally. He's built a space that's more than just a shop, it's a hub for skaters to chill, hang out, and talk all things skateboarding. What really sets this place apart is how much the owner truly cares. The positive vibes are unmatched and he's constantly creating opportunities for the community. He's always available to talk, whether it's about skating, life, or just kicking it and sharing stories. If you ever have a slight issue or feel some type of way, just reach out to him--he's a super open and genuine dude who actually listens and wants to make things right. Thanks to him, I had the chance to meet Sean Cliver and the Strangelove crew at an in-house event. Such a sick experience. Even got my wife's Strangelove Dunk SB signed. If you're into skating, culture, and good people, this is the spot. Support local, stop by, and see for yourself.

We'll be back.

When the system started playing "Africa" by Toto, and I had my new sandals in hand, I knew it was more than serendipity, 'I was meant to be here'. I read some pretty awful reviews about the customer service here, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I hustled in with my normal jovial jive. Mike kindly greeted me and led me to exactly what I thought I was looking for, Cobian sandals. While Cobian's weren't at all it for me (too tight in the middle of the foot), as I browsed Mike perfectly balanced providing support/giving me product knowledge with allowing me time to try things on slash check things out. In other words, anytime I had questions, which I had quite a few, he was there, but not in a hovery way. He informed me of other products, but really only when it was appropriate. As soon I tried my first pair on, Mike let me know where to find the nearest mirror. I knew I was leaving the store with sandals today, and Mike made that experience a breeze-no hiccups, no funny business, just excellent customer service. The same is to be said for the rest of the lively crew, including the associate who rung me up. Truly, nothing but good vibes here. Thank you to the entire crew! Again, this place was clean!
