“In town for a couple weeks for work, and decided I needed something to cruise around on. So glad I decided to find that cruiser at Slappyu2019s. Everyone there was so friendly and authentic, and the shop is wonderfully stocked with lots of great gear. I landed a gorgeous complete and could not be happier with the whole experience and vibe.”

“An unexpected detour on our trip landed us at Slappy's. My daughter has been snowboarding and longboarding since she was very little. She researched and had heard of Slappy's and asked if we could go. I obliged. When we arrived the place wasn't quite the size we expected yet it was fully stocked and we'll organized for the space. My daughter looked up and there it was. A skateboard she had been asking for for months.”

“Visiting San Diego for the ALA Conference my wife is attending so in my downtime I decided to check out some local skate shops. Slappyu2019s Garage on 17th Street felt like home away from home and did not disappoint! Picked up a shop 8.5 board and hoodie while talking to Danny. I learned some of the shops history and talked about skating! Had a super chill time and wish this place was local because Iu2019d be here often. 11/”
