“Purchased my Boosted Plus Skateboard today. Brian was more than helpful and hospitable. Thanks! Came back to purchase the Evolve Carbon GT and of course Brian was once again most excellent.

“These guys are awesome. Super friendly, very knowledgeable, and they really want you to end up with the right gear. Brian (owner) and everyone else in the shop (Jay, Olivia are the ones I've met) have always been great to chat with there too. Good selection of harnesses from this year and last (great selection of Ion gear especially, and close connections at Ion, which helps with any gear-related issues down the line”
