Shortboards are so overrated...

Spring is officially here, calendar wise, yet Mother Nature keeps toying with our emotions on the weather...warm, sunny, cold, sleet, warm, cloudy, hot, cold... Those of us die hards have no doubt already been through a parking ramp or two on the nicer days, bombin fountain hill during traffic lulls or hittin up the boardwalk path by the river. You have to ask yourself one question, does my ratty longboard from last year get the job done? Well...does it? PUNK?!

Of COURSE not!! Never fear, new Arbor is here! Street bugs, roller blunts and pin tails, OH MY! Arbor designs their bamboo and koa boards only from materials selected to reduce the impact that production has on the planet. Here's a few sweet points of interest that will help make you feel even more warm and fuzzy about your Arbor purchase: all their wood is renewable and sustainably sourced, all the by-products from production are reclaimed for use in other Arbor products (no scrap waste!), all the clear grip is made of crushed recycled glass...just to name a few.

We've got the full line in now, but hurry in, a few sold right out of the box!!!

ALSO!! Don't forget Saturday, April 11th we will be having a late night session to benefit the street course remodel scheduled to happen this summer. $10 gets you skating from 9pm to midnight (helmets/pads are still required, extra fees apply). Remember, this is a FUNDRAISER, so even if you have a gold membership, we all have to pay for the session, THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT!


P.S. Remember, our store is a retail establishment. Please make sure you are following the rules when you are visiting our park/store. Maybe, even skate when your parents drop you off for a session, CRAZY HUH!? This just might happen to you if we get any lip...

I bet Sheckler went to skate camp when he was little...

What are you doing for Spring Break? Huh? Huh? Jet setting off to some far away tropical land in search of waves, a fresh skate spot...maybe even Disney World? Yeah, I thought not, but guess what you could be doing this break that will make not going anywhere worth it...that's right, SKATE CAMP!!! Who needs to spend thousands on a spring break trip when you could be at the skate park, three whole days straight, for a mere $120! Starting Monday morning, April 6 at the crack of dawn (well, 9am, but that IS the crack of dawn for skaters, right?!) we are kicking off our annual Spring Break Skate Camp. 3 days of spring break skatetasticness, lunch awesomely provided by Subway, and some cool steez for finishing camp. AND...wait for it...wait for it...SHANE MCMAHON will be here to throw down and teach you everything you need to know, as well as your favorite team members of course!

Instruction lasts from 9am to noon all three days (April 6, 7, 8), then you get to skate until 630 for free!

Can't make it all three days? You can sign up on a day by day basis too! $60 per day if you can't make all three.

Are you a Skate Park member? DUDE! You get $20 bucks off the 3 day price or $10 bucks off on the day rate. Doesn't get any better!!

Only ten days left to get your spot on the roster, don't delay!!!

You Got Transition on Lock?
