Rider-owned & run
A skate shop run by people who actually skate
SWPskateboard started as a tiny workbench in the back of a Springfield garage, where we gripped boards for friends and swapped bearings for coffee. Ten years later the workbench is bigger, but the idea hasn't changed: sell gear we would ride ourselves, at prices that keep people skating.
Every deck we stock is flexed, stood on and pushed around the lot before it earns a spot on the wall. If it chips after two sessions, it's gone.
- Hand-picked decks from independent board makers
- Every complete assembled and tuned by our shop crew
