Hey, Great site. I wanted to mention our local shop since it supports longboarding. California Board Life (916) 984-0301 in Folsom CA has a huge selection of Longboards and equipment, and they often have "Pushes" from their shop with 50 - 75 riders involved. Check em out.

P.S. Thanks for supporting longboarding!

Purple Skunk
On 2/18/2007 Paul wrote in from United States  (67.170.nnn.nnn)

Another big thumbs up for the folks at Purple Skunk. I am getting back in to skating after a 30 year layoff. Everything has changed since '77 and after searching the net for several weeks I decided I needed some hands on advice. I emailed the Skunk and they were helpful and supportive fromt the beginning. I visited the shop yesterday and got access to all kinds of demo boards. No pressure just complete patience and understanding with my huge list of questions. Got a great deal on a great board.

Lots of skate shops can be intimidating for an older guy who has been out of the loop for so long but the people at Purple Skunk (Rodney and a guy in a cast whose name escapes me - sorry) were excellent.

I've been to the skunk three times, and I can only say that Lizzie and Rodney are some of the best-natured, most helpful people I've met in awhile. I live on the east coast, and even so, I try to give as much business as possible to the skunk because they absolutely deserve it. They're the best.

Purple Skunk
On 2/3/2007 M2 wrote in from United States  (209.91.nnn.nnn)

I just received a new longboard deck and various accessories from Purple Skunk. This was the third order I've placed with them over the last year or so. Great people - very helpful when I'm unsure just which item is right. They surprised me by shipping express for free, and they've always thrown in a pile of stickers, magazines, handout cards, and other fun stuff to look at. Recommended highly by this longboarder from Seattle.

On 2/1/2007 Kevin from Missouri wrote in from United States  (63.160.nnn.nnn)

I just wanted to inform everyone about the best skate shop in the country, Purple Skunk Boardshop of San Francisco, Ca. Being from the Midwest I’m somewhat limited on skate resources, so I was very pleased to find a trustworthy crew. Trust me, they really go that extra step to help a customer out. They have everything you need for longboard, old school, slalom, etc. The only thing better than ordering from them, would actually being fortunate enough to go to the store and getting to meet Lizzie and her crew.
Thanks,
Kevin

I guess it is unaustralian to blow ones own trumpet, but I have been importing top end gear from all over into Oz for a couple of years now and have probably the best selection of longboards, speedboards, slalom boards as well as trucks, wheels, etc in Oz.

Currently we are the only source of GOG, Splitfire, Jim Z Speedparts, Bear, Pavel, Wefunk, and Radikal in Oz as well as stocking Landyachtz, Kebbek, Insect, Force, Tracker, Seismic, Abec11 (and Co), Manx, etc, etc, etc.

Generally we can sell you the gear out of stock for about the same price as the Americans and Europeans are paying at home. Give us a mail for a price.

Cheers

A-Drain

On 12/13/2006 Charlie wrote in from United States  (71.116.nnn.nnn)

I originally planned on writing a long post, but who likes to read long postings? Hence the word “POST” So here it is short and sweet.


Problem 1: Pouring Rain in The Bay Area = NO SKATING FOR ME 

Possible Solution: Drive to So-Cal to visit buddy and go long boarding

Problem 2: Brand new deck w/ NO BEARINGS, WHEELS, or TRUCKS

Final Solution: I send money to Purple Skunk. Lizzie sends gear from Purple Skunk to my house in 1 business day. (Oh by the way, Purple Skunk spells the word shipping “F-R-E-E” during the holidays.)

Result: Ripping it up with friends in Sunshine, 350 miles away from the rain.
(BIG SMILE ON MY FACE!)

Thank you so much Lizzie, you honestly brightened up my Holiday Season with your personal service. UPS and other companies have given me so much grief this month, and in the end your order got exactly where it needed to be. ON MY BOARD! In 1 business day!

The Purple Skunk ROCKS! Thank you Lizzie! My son's christmas will be perfect. I ordered on line and was contacted the next day! We worked it out and I got the perfect board for my son. Anyone can sell a board and parts to go with it. These people go way beyond that. They are there 100%. If you are looking for a board go anywhere. If you are looking for the team that cares about what you want and need go to THE PURPLE SKUNK!

The ‘Skunk Cruiser’ is for getting from first period to second period on campus, hitting the corner store for a six-pack, cruising to a buddies house or even if you have an inkling to cruise to your local skatepark for some mellow surf style turns, the Purple Skunk Cruiser is right up your alley. Enjoy! Check it out at www.purpleskunk.com!

I had a devil of a time getting a friend [directed by google] to the shop's webpage, so, I'm posting up a more direct means of finding the best collection of old, cool, unique boards in the NorthEast. Stop in if you're up near Manchester,Vt, and say hi to Nick or Ross, and take awhile to ponder the various boards they've got on display (btw,my old board is the longest there, 205cm).

Oh, and they sell new stuff, too! ;-)
