Skate Warehouse

Skate Warehouse has been serving skaters since 2003, when it took its first internet order. The shop is best known for skateboard kit: decks, complete boards, grip tape and wheels, with Spitfire, Santa Cruz, Baker and Nike SB among the big names. It is based in San Luis Obispo, California, with one physical shop alongside the website, and it aims for a local shop feel for skaters worldwide.

The edit leans into skate, sneakers and streetwear. Labels such as Black Magic, Converse Skateboarding, DNA, Lamebrain and Push sit alongside Emerica, Osiris, Zoo York and Asics Skateboarding, so you can put together a full setup from deck to trainers. Beginners will find buying guides in the Learning Center, and the staff's passion for skating shows.
