Wiiiiicked little surf shop in the Canadian prairies. I am from Long Beach and was in Calgary for business when an associate told me to check out this little Surf and Longskate shop she found in Calgary. Upon entering I was sure I was in a shop back home and not Calgary. The owner is a really cool older dude who really new his stuff about the Longskate stuff and Surfing. He had a really helpful young girl named Dana who was just as knowledgeable on Longskate. This shop has a better selection of Longboards than any shop I have been in back home. They let me test ride 5 boards and I bought my nephew a Tahoe 162. (sweet ride). Prices are better than in the States and the Crazy canuck buck adds extra value. Billy said they will ship boards anywhere and are selling lots abroad because of the cheap dollar. Check these guys out www.rednik.com and you won't be dissapointed. I will buy all my gear when I come up for business here. They have wicked clothes as well. Tks to Billy and Dana (and Hana the Chesapeake Retriever(coolest shop dog ever) for their great help and hospitality.

Bozi is the bomb

I just wanted to put in a few good words for Jeff Yarrington at www.boziboards.com. Most of the e-tailers are very cool folks to deal with, but Jeff went beyond the call of duty. He was extremely kind, helpful, patient, thorough and meticulous, and went to great lengths to make sure that I would get a combo that was what I wanted. He even sent me jpegs of a set-up I was curious about and redrilled a board to the old-school specs of the Deadbolt. What more can you ask for except to stand on the board? Despite a little shipping problem with USPS, which Jeff was diligent about trying to resolve but was actually completely out of his power, I have to say that I have nothing but good things to say about Boziboards. Except that the bridgebolts were an unholy hell to put on the deadbolt trucks, and I really should have let Jeff put the complete together, but noooo I had to grip it myself. Packing was a good job, too. It was like going to a really good skateshop.

A web site that ask me to install something in order to view what they have to sell is missing the point totally, sorry Jam guys.

upper east side, only one i can find. paragon and princeton both have a set or two of wheels bigger than 65mm. i prefer the internet to be honest. longskate.com, solidskate.com, boziboards.com and daddies are my weapons of choice.

Hi All,
thanks for your comments, all noted and welcome feedback to a retail beginner
as you can tell, i don't have a knack for marketing my site which is definitely www.jsurf.co.uk (thanks for extracting this Pierre), but i did skate in the 70's and 80's, still skate now and glad to be part of the UK movement.

I checked out the link Pierre was so kind to provide. Not much there but they`re just getting started so I`ll have to check back.
I just wanted to comment on the opening statement...
"...remember before there was the Ollie?...blah blah bal...
....this is Old School..."
This wasn`t the first time that phrase was used and i`m not singling them out, BUT, the OLLie move IS old school. Do you remember seeing those pics in Skateboarder in the 70`s of Alan busting his signature move?
In skate history, Alan will go down as the most famous, infamous skater. His move revolutionized the way skating is done and yet most people don`t know who he is.
I love this...I ask a young skater..."Do you know what an OLLie is?" "Of Course" they reply. "Do you know who Alan Gelfand is?"..."Alan who?"...the standard reply.
So Tony, consider yourself....OLD-SCHOOLED!!!... heh heh !!!

Traps in Salt Lake City

Traps, Salt Lake City's first longboard shop is closing due to the owners decision to only run one business instead of two. I'm sorry to see it go. Clayton had a real peg on the market here and was helping to make longboarding what it should be here in SLC. Anyway, i am thinking of purchasing his business from him. If anybody is interested in teaming up with me and becoming partneres in running a well established longboard skate shop here give me an email. I am a business/enviromental studies major at the university and already help run our family business and know the books in and out as well as longbording in and out, I'm just looking for a partner. In addition, kludy, chaput, any other people on this site that might represent a longboarding company- give me an email about possibly holding a fun competition here (just something to get the stoke up on longboaring in the valley) Slalom hasn't really taken off here yet so slalom vendors need not call, yet anyway. Thanks.

Apparently Flowlab has a distributor in Sweden. Does anyone know the contact information to this company? Flowlab knows but they don't reply to my e-mails.
I'd appreciate if you can reply by e-mail (too).

Anyone know if poolskater.com is a real business?
It has been almost three weeks and I've sent 4 emails and called and left my phone number twice on their answering machine(machine message also talks about another business), and I've gotten no reply to any of them.
"Looks" like they say the sell some good stuff. But maybe this is just the way they do business, I don't know. There is no online ordering just email and answering machine which does not get a response.
