Currently on vacation in the Bay Area visiting friends and family and heard many great things about this shop from many folks. Everything is TRUE, Super Customer Service, Knowledgable Staff (and Yes, Everyone at the Shop Skates!), Amazing Selection from Longboards, Downhill, Slalom, Pool/Ramp, Street, and even a large selection of 70's Retro Boards. The Wheel Case is the crowning feature - just Perfect... The Whole Crew and the Vibe is everything Skateboarding means to me. THANK YOU PURPLE SKUNK! VISIT THEIR SAN FRANCISCO SHOP on your next visit.

I have to give a huge thanks to Tony at 138 in New Philadelphia,Ohio. Skateboarder for 20+ years and my homeboy for life. He has helped support the Portland Pusher since the beginning,and is the only out-of-state shop sponsor of the series. All for the love of skateboarding. If you are ever in NE Ohio,head to downtown New Philadelphia and check him out. Great selection,great location(up the street from the skatepark),and shop decks are made at Factory13! It is also the home of Easy Street Tunes,where you can rock,then go roll.

I Got back from Purple Skunk again yesterday, must have been my 5th or 6th time in there- but Get This- I called moments from closin' time in San Francicso traffic, (only New York city, Rio de Janerio or Lagos Nigeria in a riot may be more fearsome!!!) AND Lizzie and Yong Kee Kept the shop open just for me, to grab a handful of retro parts like Bones plastic stuff and 10 inch grip & hardware!!
We now all know how cool they are as a Skate shop, But would ANY shop you patronise stay late for you? That's as rare as Home Depot selling you plumbing at midnite when your toilet's busted!
Ps. Gotta shout out to Mark and Debbie Zentner, From Zsports distribution, an Ebay and yahoo web shop. They got the real Z-boys Connection, straight Venice Santa Monica Bizness, even Autograph Decks From tha Zipperhead Himself.
Mike Hirsch and his family from Socalskateparks.com and Socalskateshop.com are also 2 prompt friendly and honest e-buinsess families that are core skater with heart and actually ansewer the phone!!
sorry hillbombers if yer dizzy from reading this one

Purple Skunk is a skateshop that follows the
oldschool creedo of "we're skaters too...we understand
you...in fact, we LIKE you!"
It was refreshing and inspiring to deal with Lizzie,
Rodney and the crew. They hooked me up with the deck
of my dreams, shipped to my military mailing address
fast, and with style (extra stickers addded!) and
were always super cool and fun to deal with.
From here on out, Im keeping it real and keeping it
Purple! Lifetime customer, baby!

Excellent service. Great Prices. Sound advice. Very friendly. Parcels are wrapped carefully. Emails are answered in a flash. You get that works!!!
I purchased a landyaztch evo, 85mm kryptos and stainless-steel deck bolts from PURPLESKUNK.COM Check their prices out - they're good. When you consider the amount of service you get from PURPLESKUNK.COM, you feel like you should be paying more. Lets face it, anyone that has purchased online knows that it can be painful if you go to the wrong place.
I got my skate sent to Australia. PURPLESKUNK.COM is the only online store that i know of that links you up with a daily parcel tracking website through u.s.postal service. I knew exactly where my parcel was everyday!!
Oh! Dont forget to look out for Lizzie @ PURPLESKUNK.COM, she's a gem!!

Have not posted here in awhile. Thought I would give another plug for our new DVD The Rebirth Of Skateparks. I guarantee that anyone who apreciates the history of skateboarding will be extremly stoked on what we have put together. No budget, a labor of love , and the end result gives us a great look back on our past and our future. Stop by and check out the 2 trailers and to see how I have been keeping busy building the skateshop I have wanted since I was 10
back in 76.
Enjoy

My first skateboard had clay wheels, urethane came out a year later. Anyway I dropped by the Purple Skunk skateboard shop today while in San Francisco with my ten year old son Timmy. I saw a lot of used skateboards on the wall with dirty wheels and was a little confused. The staff was in the back busy building boards, but took the time to greet me and let me know they would be happy to help me when I needed it. My son and I looked at all the "sick" boards for a while, when Lizzie as I came to know her had us grab a couple of boards, which all turned out to be demo's. We cruised on 22nd Ave @ Geary and my son Timmy tried board after board. Lizzie kept bringing us boards. She was so nice. He got set up with a Vangard flexie, randall 150 trucks and biltins with gumballs 78a. My son actually got to help build the board. All my questions were answered with the upmost patience. I have been to many skateboard shops and I have never seen one come close to being anywhere near as good as the Purple Skunk. Timmy got a free magazine and I saved a lot of money. It's 8pm and Tim wants to go outside and ride in the dark on his new board. Thanks Lizzie and crew.

NY Pipe Dreams (York Ave. @ 85th. 212 535 7473) has a few longboard completes and usually one lonely slalom set up.
Paragon Sports (Bway & 18th 212 255 8036) has longboard completes and some parts.
Central Park has a few hills and is car free during posted hours. The race next Sat. is a good time

Yeah, a friend and I went to Purple Skunk today and it's quite possibly the best shop ever. The employees are hella chill and are knowledgeable about everything, you can demo boards for free (I don't know a single store that demo's), and their prices are pretty solid. You might be able to find a cheaper set up online, but if you go to their store, you'll be able to get a set up fit for you frame, style, and needs. It's a kick ass store period

As a lost and confused Canadian, I was lucky enough to stuble into the Purple Skunk when I was passing through San Fransisco looking for a Longboard. Lucky, because I now have a board that is actually perfect for me. I came to recommend the place and it looks like everyone else who's been there had as an amazing time as I did.
Go to the Skunk, and you WILL get the board that you didn't even know you wanted. (Then you'll want to go back again because everyone there is so incredibly cool.) Lizzie, Eli, Yong-ki and Rod - Thanks, you're all so damn amazing that I don't know what to say.
I honestly want people to go to the Skunk because there aren't enough skateboarders in this world.

Well, everything you've read here about Purple Skunk is right. They really are that good. I'm currently living on a small portuguese island, and it is very hard for me to get much in the way of skate gear for my boards. I was turned on to Lizzie and her crew by others in the skate community and I couldn't be happier. BY FAR the best customer service I have experienced in this industry, and I've dealt with many of them. Extremely prompt responses, detailed explanations and recommendations and all around friendly attitude. This is the kind of place that makes you realize why you love this sport. Thanks Lizzie and crew.
