Our Story
  • Jim Chalupsky, Local Guide

    Been going here for years. The staff helped us select the perfect board based on experience, riding style, and size. Everyone is super chill and ready to help. Excellent selection of boards, clothing, and gear. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • Moultrie Ball, Local Guide

    They could have easily sold us the fanciest setup, but instead helped us get the best bang for the buck. Friendly, knowledgeable, and honest. Easily my favorite skate shop after 20+ years of skating. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • Addie Wagner

    The best skate shop in Charleston. Incredible selection, knowledgeable staff, and a great atmosphere. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
