Shop Review
Purple Skunk
On 5/8/2005 Gary H. wrote in from United States  (17.219.nnn.nnn)

Lizzie, Eli and the whole team at Purple Skunk are one Class Act! I was at the shop today and they are clearly the best when it comes to Customer Service and Product Knowledge. If you ride longboards they have more decks to pick from then anyone I know. Check them out at: http://www.purpleskunk.com/

Purple skunk's got me riding sky high!!!!
On 5/5/2005 Justin L. wrote in from United States  (208.180.nnn.nnn)

My girlfriend has seen me looking at the LANDYACHTZ *EVO* 41.5" TIME BOMB for a month now. Little did I know she had already contacted Lizzie and the purple skunk crew to fix me up. I was sitting at home around 4:15pm, and I heard a rapping at the door. Opon opening the door I handed a nicely packed box. My suprise came when I opened the package. After getting through the awsome packing job I saw my dream board. It was freaken awsome!!!! I mean my hands were shaking and everything. My girlfriend told me that she called Purple Skunk and they gave her such awsome customer service. We want to take a trip the the store and get a feel for the area. If every shop was like Purple Skunk the whole world would board. I will never go through another shop for my longboard or any board needs. Thanks Purple Skunk for putting a dream board under my feet.

No place better than the Skunk
On 5/3/2005 Alex wrote in from United States  (63.200.nnn.nnn)

Just got another perfect order from Lizzie, Eli, and everyone else at Purple Skunk. Eli even called me to verify a couple of things, and gave me some great advice on picking the right wheels for sliding. Everything showed up today, and I'm going out to skate.

If you're in SF, you gotta check out the demo boards!

re: Did I get scammed?
On 4/18/2005 Anthony wrote in from United States  (68.126.nnn.nnn)

I dont think you got scammed. Call them up and talk to them. Leave messages if thats possible.

Your credit card company (visa/mastercard) will help you dispute your compliants if your board doesnt show up.

Your credit card should have fraud protection too.

Did I get scammed?
On 4/18/2005 MikeR wrote in from United States  (68.226.nnn.nnn)

I recently bought a board from www.dregsskateboards.com and I got a confirmation e-mail that said my purchase was done properly or what not and then an e-mail the following morning telling me my package was shipped.

The thing I found odd was that there were no shipping charges, I was only charged the $149 for the board. Not only that, but on the shipping e-mail it said Tracking Number: and then there was a blank as if to say there isn't a tracking number.

I e-mailed dregs twice and they still haven't responded and it's been a week. I also went to www.2co.com (the place that manages dreg's shipping and sales and other stuff) to look up my order number but the number I was given doesn't match up to their numbering system (mine is a set of 7 numbers while their's is a set of 5 numbers, a hyphon, and then a different set of five numbers) so I tried looking for my last four digits of my credit card and that also wasn't found...

Has anyone else shopped at dregsskateboards.com or 2co.com?

PURPLE SKUNK
On 4/7/2005 Wellington wrote in from United States  (67.101.nnn.nnn)

Just happened to pass by the Skunk on the way to dim sum at Ton Kiang and drooled at the store on the way...went back and was floored by all the incredible demo boards and the mellow staff who let me ride all the boards. I was hooked by the Landyahtz Dh but could not believe it could get better...well it did they let me try the same board with different wheels and bearings! They were right on!!! Sweetest ride ever and just like a kid again! Big shouts for the PURPLE SKUNK

New Skate shop in Park City, Utah!
On 3/27/2005 Martin Drayton wrote in from United States  (155.100.nnn.nnn)

PC Park & Ride - This winter saw our first season as a Snowboard shop and it was an unquestionable success. For the summer we will be operating as a Skate shop.
Of course, partly because of my background, I will be pushing the Slalom/Longboard/Old school end of the market too.
You can find us at www.pcparkandride.com or call 1-435-940-0140.

Our plans also include having a Demo fleet and running "Club" evenings to help create a scene out here in Park City, Utah.Who knows we might even hold a race in summer '07...

Martin Drayton.

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.

Re: Purple skunk?
On 3/23/2005 woof wrote in from United States  (130.132.nnn.nnn)

>> "The people who keep posting this purple skunk stuff nead to cut it out.

>> purple skunk is the greatest"

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!

Purple Skunk ROCK!!
On 3/16/2005 Jimmy Loricco wrote in from Australia  (61.95.nnn.nnn)

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

Small Planet, Hove, UK
On 3/9/2005 Michael wrote in from United Kingdom  (195.92.nnn.nnn)

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.
