its over. Closed. I went by many times. Rob sold it years ago. No one there, each time I went. Luckily there is a new Sonoma Skate shop owned by a skater near the Round Table Pizza & CVS I went in and was helped with a complete set up for me and my son. He was helpful. I'll be back. its called VALLEY OF THE MOON skate shop. RIP old school. P.S. there's no surf around here, need an Ocean for that. read more

Appears to be no longer in business ( I was last by there 10/17/2024.) No particular signage that says they're closed permanently, but the few glimpses you can catch through the gaps in the window coverings indicate a mostly empty store with only a few display cases and racks. Sad, this was the best and most complete skate shop in Sonoma County, (and was the premier North Bay shop for quite a while after Purple Skunk closed in SF) IMHO, you will need to go to Bill's Wheels in Santa Cruz to find it's equal. read more

The person working the store was totally cool with helping my little kid get the right size board. He treated him like a skater and not a little boy (he's five). The prices were fair and selection was pretty nice. But really the most important part was how cool they made my son feel. 100 percent recommend for this skaters of all ages. read more

My 10 year old son had the best experience here buying his new, custom skateboard a couple weeks ago. The guy at the front counter was so patient and kind with him. He explained every little step to my son and asked him questions to help him figure out exactly what he needed. He picked out a custom Santa Cruz board and the guy put it together for him in under 30 minutes. My son paid with his own hard earned money and at checkout, the guy gave him 10% off and a free Sonoma Old School t-shirt. He left feeling so appreciated and grown up. What a great experience and we were so happy to be supporting a local business! read more

Thanks to John and Val for the Herculean effort in replacing my sons ball bearings for his scooter! It was freaking impossible to remove them, but they got it done! Excellent customer service and great attitudes! I love this shop because of people like that who work there. Stay Old School Sonoma! #SonomaStrong ! read more

Just popped in to this place to check it out. I've drove by a million times and always wanted to stop, and finally did. The girl working there was very nice, professional and knowledgeable.Some of the best customer service I've had in a long time. I never got her name, but the service was unmistakable. Great selection of stuff plus a discount area outside and a skate ramp. The layout of the store is good too. I've been in similar places like this, and they're just crammed full of stuff with no real thought. But this place isn't like that. They do have a great selection, but its well placed and easy to figure out. read more

I just came in to buy a t-shirt for my daughter and was surprised at what all they had. Theres alot more clothes in there than I thought. The GF loved all the different bathing suits.

I didn't buy anything but I had to put in a good word for the owner rob. I was totally lost and looking for directions and stopped by just for that purpose. he insisted that he help me by google-Ing directions, then helped me step by step. he seems like an awesome human being, even though I had no patronage to offer him. 5 stars for service and a good hearted owner. read more

We just moved to Sonoma and were surprised to see a surf and skate shop downtown...we were REALLY shocked at what's inside. AWESOME selection of the latest guys AND girls merchandise. Everyone who works here is super professional and helpful. The young lady who does all of the ladies ordering is really nice and obviously knows what shes doing. Really nice people to deal with. Easy going return/exchange policy. Great selection. My only complaint is that they had lots of XS and S in ladies and almost no M and L. I will back. BEST surf shop in NORCAL. read more

My boyfriend and I both shop here on a pretty regular basis for shoes and clothes and are always happy to support a local business, but recently I went in looking to replace a long board but wasn't really sure what kind exactly I wanted. John really listened and helped me with finding the exact kind of board I like and adjusted it completely for me so it was ride ready when I left. They also ALWAYS have really good deals outside in their last chance section in a bunch of different sizes. This place is always worth a stop. read more

Came here to build a long board complete yesterday. Dude's here were super cool and allowed me to look at, feel, and test fit everything before we finalized the build. Not sure what the owner's name is, but he was very nice. He price matched my board and saved us something like $30 bucks and also gave me a free shirt. Would most definitely recommend this place. Very happy with the purchase and experience! read more

Love there buy one get one free sale! Bought a pair of toms boots and got my second pair of toms shoes free!! Love love love it! Really great customer service! Kid who help us was very friendly and awesome. read more

These guys are awesome. They hooked me up with a killer new board and gave me a bunch of free stuff to go with it, including stickers and a t shirt. Super stoked on these guys. read more

A swimsuit emergency led me to SOS, and they saved the day! There was an hour until our hotel pool closed, and my friend and I dashed in and found some awesome bikinis with the help of Rob and Liv. They were friendly and tremendously helpful! And the bikinis are great. I love Brazilian-cut suits while my friend prefers less cheeky styles, and SOS had something for both of us. Great shop, great staff. Thank you so much! read more

Rob always has a great crew and they are knowledgeable and it is a family friendly place. Best skate shop around!!! Doesn't matter if you skate longboard or a popsicle stick deck they have it all from decks to socks!! I have been shopping here for a long time! Thanks Rob! read more

I love shopping locally and this shop was great. I know nothing about skateboards, and my 9 year old has been BEGGING for one forever. So I thought, ok for xmas I'll get one. Well, these things aren't cheap, but I looked online and the price difference wasn't much. The owner helped me figure out what kind/size/type etc... would work best for my son. Then we fitted him for safety gear. He was great about understanding that it was a Santa gift and let me pretend I didn't buy it, and left it in the back for me to come back and get without kids in tow. They have REALLY nice women's clothing that is not skater chic stuff but more Anthroplogie/Banana Republic (I guess his daughter buys it for the store). I feel reassured that I bought a quality skateboard that won't fall apart. My only concern now is that my little boy that seems to end up in the hospital with broken bones from falling is going to keep me on my toes with learning how to skate on his new board!!! read more

If you're looking for a shop to buy a board of any kind, hit up SOS. The staff is always there to help you, whether you're looking for jeans or shoes. The shoe selection is pretty amazing considering the size of the shop. Great clothes for guys and girls. The guys at the back working the boards really know their stuff. They'll build you a board with whatever you want in no time. Huge selection of all kinds of boards- throwbacks, classics, longboards, you name it! Every year, rob throws a phat sale too. And throughout the year there's a good selection on clearance on the side of the building. Plus, if you are looking to skate, he's got a ramp out back. There's always a food truck sittin outside if you get hungry as well. Drop by! read more

This is a great place. I drive all the way from Marin just to go there. The owner Rob is as good as it gets. You're immediately greeted as you walk in the door and every employee is there to help. Great customer service! I highly recommend this place. When in Rome check it out! read more

I love Sonoma old school great selection the staff is amazing Emily is awesome so helpful and very knowledgable. The owner Robert is so great to all the kids in town. Got some really cute Reef flip flops today and I'm going back tomorrow for some iPod speakers read more

recently moved to town, and one of the first stops was this shop. i was VERY pleased to find friendly, knowledgable staff, and a great store owner Rob who was extremely gracious and welcoming. As a father to a newborn, i have plans to shop exclusively here for all his boarding needs. their product selection is right on[im in old dad],and i myself shop here for my gear,as well. I look forward to years of doing business with Rob read more

These guys have a GREAT selection of sunglasses. I'm the classic "Princess & The Pea" when it comes to sunglasses. Takes me forever to find a pair that don't irritate my ears or look too big for my face. The person that helped me asked the style I was generally looking for then proceeded to open every case and let me try on whatever I wanted and was SO cool about not being impatient or pushing me to buy something. Would go back here for more now that I've seen how much cool stuff the have! read more

When it comes to a skate shop with awesome variety of men's, women's, and kid's clothing, awesome skate boards, shoes, sunglasses, hats, and watches, a helpful staff, and a great all around place...SOS is hands down the best place in town! My husband and I have shopped there for years and have gotten to know the staff and the owner pretty well and they have always been helpful and so nice and welcoming! Every time we've been in there, there is always kids with, and without their parents coming and going that obviously love the owner, and we've seen that he is a huge part of this community and is very respected! Every time we've been there it's usually busy and we've noticed how each time a person walked in the door Rob and/or Chris and the rest of the staff always say hi and are smiling and talking it up with all of the customers! SOS is and always has been the place for my husband and I to shop for all of our kids and for ourselves, (especially for Christmas time) and like I said we've been shopping there for years and have always had a wonderful experience! This is a big shout out to the entire staff at S.O.S and to the owner, Rob...thanks for being such a great person in our community and for giving us such a kick ass place to shop and hangout every year! And kuddos for what you do with all the kids in your community! See you soon!! read more
