We now have some new product from Globe. One new shoe with the rest still coming in, hats, pants, and t-shirts. Anyone who has been by the shop knows that the board wall is looking weak, so more decks are also on the way. I know we are getting Think’s in stock. So come on by the shop.

We still have some sweat shirts that are buy one get one free at the shop. Also there are still shoes on the wall that were selling with 30% off.

We have a nice amount of boards at the shop right now. We just recently got in some more Anti-Heroes and a few boards from black box. Our grip tape selection is pretty good at the moment. We have jessup, true grip, and independent. So come on by and grab a fresh deck.
