I stopped by on a Tuesday afternoon because they were holding a raffle for a pair of hard-to-find…read moresneakers. While in the parking lot the guy working inside was actually walking to his car and greeted me. It was only when he came back in that I realized he worked at Skate Supply, but he was super-nice nonetheless. He asked me if I was there for the raffle (he obviously made an educated guess since I've never been there before) and he took my contact info. He asked if I was interested in buying a t-shirt they were selling to promote the shoe's release and, because he was so cool about it, I said, "Yes," and pre-ordered. I think I got a second raffle entry by buying the shirt, but it looked cool, was a reasonable price and I'd be supporting a local shop. We also talked about the shoe in question (Travis Scott x Nike SB Dunk Low "Cactus Jack") and joked a bit about its release policy. It's not a big as Carnival but it has this laid back, relaxed vibe that I always remembered about skate shops. If you don't know what I'm talking about then check out the movie mid90's. It felt almost exactly like that, and the dude who helped me out was kind and friendly. JV

There were two guys working and they overheard me and asked what board size etc. He put in an order for the board I was looking for we paid there and they took down my info so I can pick it up when it's ready. They said it should have been there by Tuesday but I hadn't heard anything so I FB msgd them and they got back To me said they'd contact me as soon as it comes. Well they contacted me again to apologize for not not being here on time and offered to get a different board in place of it until it arrives so my son would at least have something and we could just swap out when his actual Deck came in. Long review short I'm still waiting but the fact they took time out to msg me and ask if I wanted a replacement for the time being was awesome customer service. Can't wait to get my sons deck.

I was looking to rent a board since I was on vacation and after comparing them with other shops I decided I wanted to give them my business based off their friendliness.

I also enjoy knowing my money will support a local surf shops that caters to the younger generation. I look forward to giving them my business next time I'm in town. This shop is worth checking out and they are happy to help!

I felt a bit like an imposition just by entering the store, as they were pretty disinterested in helping us.

I picked out a long sleeve classic, paid and left. Next time I'll order online.

Can this store continue to sink to a new customer service level low? The answer is YES!…read more This afternoon as I went in trash littered the entire entry way. Also leaves were just inside the door. My son absolutely loves their products and wanted new shorts. Since he is hard to size with being so thin it's never easy. A staffer did approach me to assist which was really great! But that's where their service sunk to a new low level. With three to four staff in the store I would have expected help. Especially when I asked a few times on specific sizing. The young staff did nothing except congregate and chat. At one point customers they knew came in and more chat!!! No help for me so I left. I have given this store so many tries. It's super convenient to my home and I keep coming back to only get abused again. No more. I will not give them a 2 because the store was overall neat and branded products are fantastic! But that's where it ends. Service is a big fat 0.

This was…read moresuch a cool discovery for me to make, that I can only imagine how cool it must be to discover if you actually skateboard. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by one of their friendly staff members. I asked a bunch of questions about the skate park and they were very helpful. The storefront side of that serves as the front of the store is well executed and organized. There's plexiglass in the back separating the park from the store. For those interested, their session times are as follows: 10am-12pm $3.50. 12pm-3pm $7.00. 3pm-6pm $7.00. And 6pm-9pm $7.00. No half sessions and girls "sk8" free. They also offer lessons on Mondays and Tuesdays from 4pm-8:30pm and they cost $20/hour. Furthermore, they have VIP Memberships available Monthly: $55, Quarterly: $140, and Yearly: $500. A VIP Membership offers unlimited skating and in-store discounts. A very cool place and concept overall.

The employees inside are super friendly and super helpful. The parking can be a concern but if you go at a good time during the day you are able to find parking if no spots are available other parking is available within walking distance so no issue. Around the holidays parking can be an issue nevertheless you are definitely going to find something for your sports fanatic fan here from a pen to a hat. I'm glad shops of this sort still exists where you can put your hands on items and purchase. Have fun and enjoy life :)
