Cal Surf

I bought two long boards from Scott and the crew at Cal Surf for my kids for X-​Mas. My kids couldn’t have been happier, especially considering the high-​quality of goods that Cal Surf carries. And I was happy with the service… the guys steered me to two of the lesser-​expensive models based on my kids’ experience levels and their riding preferences. Excellent shop! None better in the Twin Cities!

My son wanted a skateboard for his birthday. We looked to find one he liked, and ended up doing a search online. We found Cal Surf. I called and spoke with Jake R. He was so friendly and knowledgeable. He helped me build one over the phone. (we live in California) He walked me through choosing each and every part, to make the perfect board for my son. He built the board that afternoon and had it in the mail the very next morning. I would recommend Cal Surf based on the customer service alone!!! Thanks Jake!!!

Ive been going here for skateboards and snowboards for 15 years. Great spot for local skate/​snow spot info as well as buying gear.

Skip Zumiez and come here. Bought a new deck for my son, great selection of skate gear, lots of shoes, super friendly knowledgable staff. Best skate shop in the Twin Cities!!!

I’m married to a skate geezer who needed new grip tape for his long board. These guys got it done and were willing so close to closing time.
The guy doing it had a broken arm and did a great job. He had to replace the screws which took awhile.
I’m sure he thought I was a Biznitch wife extraordinare. I opted to wait in the car, ran in once for change after the meter parking technician gave me a look because we were expired, then ran in again to see how much longer it was going to be and walked back impatiently to the car.
They have been around since 1988. Although it wasn’t his cup of tea for a skate board shop, they had what he needed. J said that the guys were really nice and they probably were had I not been so impatient that night, I probably would have talked them up too.
They asked J if I was mad because it was taking so long and I looked huffy, but I’m sure they get a lot of wives in there who get impatient waiting. J’s reply, «nah she just looks mean».
Giving it a 4 based on the end result of the long board, the guys were really great per J and the fact that they did it so close to closing time.
I may have to return to experience more of it through my own eyes. What I did see warrants a 4.
