I know what works for me and after years of dealing with various shops that cater to my skateboarding needs, Purple Skunk is one of the finest. Period. End of story. Please go outside and SKATE.

Hmmm... on each message, the first two quads of the IP address of the sender is recorded... let's see... we have:
61.95.xxx.xxx
138.9.xxx.xxx
68.189. xxx.xxx
65.227.xxx.xxx
69.4.xxx.xxx
I stopped right there... see that first number? That is known as the network... there are 126 class A networks, so all but one of these addresses is a class A network. The exception... 138... is a class B network.
Point is... these are distinct NETWORKS. It is not like a person on one machine can go run over to another machine and do this... I am on a machine that will show up as 130.132.xxx.xxx. If I went and ran over to my buddies machine, it would also be 130.132.xxx.xxx; you really do not get down to the individual machine until you get to the fourth dotted quad... (hidden as xxxx in this case). An example would be... my machine would look like this: 130.132.99.11 and his would look like this 130.132.99.12. If I went to another building, I might see a difference in the subnet 99... but I have to go to a whole different network, run by totally different servers, etc. to get off of the 132 network and onto another.
The bottom line here. It SURE looks like this many people had good thinks to say about Purple Skunk Buzzkill!

Being an oversea's customer and only relying on the net and email for comunication, I found Lizzie from the skunk to be the most honest and reliable source for my skateboard needs. When your this far away, trust is a huge issue, and their service rates 5 star plus!!!! Every package has turned up, no probs, the ordr correct and the litle extras that put a smile on my face everytime i rip open a box. Cheers to Lizzie and the crew at Purple Skunk, my definite destination next time I leave the Land down Under. Jimmy

Hmmm, nice selection of boards!!! Ehen a big surf store in nearby Brighton got bought out by a chain, the new owners decided to bail out of hardware, turning the surf store into clothes only.....so the local 'real' surf store has expanded its range of boards further. Shows what happens when an enlightened owner (Jez) who actually skates, keeps the faith in our kind of skating

Over the weekend I purchased a landyachtz evo from the purple skunk and I couldn't be happier with the service and the board. I loved how you can demo boards and they were very helpful in finding everything I needed and put together a sweet board for me. I highly recommend this shop. Thanks!

you can get randals from manly blades (who also sell abec 11 wheels), bondi blades and i think that lo down in cronulla carries them. lo down also sells tracker stuff and kernow/surf one completes.
or www.oldskoolteam.com if you go into the forums and leave a message for kanufi he also sells complete decks with randals and abec 11 wheels.

I just received an order from Lizzie and the crew down in San Francisco at Purple Skunk. I couldn't be more pleased with their service. Everything arrived days before I thought it would and I could tell they put a little extra effort into making sure it was packed well. I called them on the phone to ask a quick question and the guy (I did'nt catch his name) I spoke with really went out of his way to answer all of my questions.

Sweden dude....you mean shops in Sydney Australia?
Well from past experience (I haven't been on the longboard scene for the last few years) Surf Shops are the place to find complete longboards setup.
Also in Sydney, you can check out Manly Blades in Manly. They have a few different longboards too.
Some surfshops > check out Surfection (there are a few around different parts of Sydney - Manly, Mosman, Mona Vale, Dee Why, and a few other places) and Surf Dive N Ski - City, Chatswood, Miranda, and heaps more.
As for Randalls, well I haven't seen any in Australia for sale..I had to order mine from the states.
If you need any help let me know
Stay cool

Wow! I can't say enough about my Internet experience with this shop. I've never received such personalized service over the net. Lizzie's emails were so timely and helpful, it was like dealing with her in person. As a middle-aged woman getting back into skateboarding, I had a few questions. Lizzie offered explanations and suggestions without putting any pressure on me to buy. I eventually did order a longboard, and couldn't be happier with it and the service at Purple Skunk. The extra goodies--magazine and stickers were also a real treat. Kudo's to Lizzie and the crew at Purple Skunk. I don't think I could have done any better than to discover this shop.

PURPLE SKUNK RULES
I can not tell you all just how fantastic it is to deal with Lizzie and Eli at Purple Skunk. Eli styled me out with the sweetest longboard I have ever seen or ridden, and the service and follow-up was out of control. I live 3000+ miles away, but it felt like I was in the shop and everyone knew me and I them. I tip my hat to Lizzie and the team for their dedication and outstanding service. If you need product, look no further, give Purple Skunk a ring. They are simply the BEST!!!

Nick speaks the truth about skateworks, if you want longboard stuff make sure you head to the Mountain View store, that is where my buddy went I found out after the fact.
I went by Blossom Hill tonight and they mostly had standard stuff, 7.75 decks and little hard wheels, standard bearings and hardware, lots of clothes of course.
They had a couple of cool looking cohort decks and a new comet maple 7.75 and a few sets of kryptos, they do carry concussion.
I am confused by the Go Skate thing, didn't the store on Almaden just close a year or 2 ago?

Go Skate closed its last two stores (SJ Almaden and SC Beach St) in October '93. After 30 years, Dale and Laura felt it was time to move on.
Skateworks in Moutain View carries a good range of old school, slalom, downhill, and longboard products. They carry ABEC11, Big Red X, Biltin, 3dm Sport, Seismic, Randal, Gravity, Black Label, Santa Cruz, etc., as well as the usual stuff. They're on Castro, just south of El Camino.
They also carry Concussion magazine.
