She supposedly fell a few times but they taught her how to fall and she said "falling is part of skateboarding". She was also able to go down and up two ramps after her first day.

F for customer service…read more I feel bad leaving a poor review especially given that I quite like the owner and have had good experiences with the shop in the past. And have been a loyal customer for many years and have bought a ton of stuff from them. But today I had a terrible experience and I just feel like I need to share it. I went in to rent a pair of skis for my daughter as we wanted to go skiing the next day. It was 4:45 on Sat. Walking in and saying I wanted to rent skis. The young guy behind the counter asked me if I had an appointment. I said no, I no idea I needed an appointment for a one-day rental. Then he said I'm sorry I won't be able to help you we close in 14 minutes. Well, first closing at 5pm when you're a rental shop during the ski season seems a little early but OK. I said are you sure I just need skis and that shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes (I used to work in a rental shop and setting up rental skis is really very quick). But he said no, it would not be possible. There were no other customers in the shop so it was unclear what else would be taking his time, but clearly not helping me. He very unhelpfully suggested that I could come back in the morning and that they open at 11. Which is pretty useless if you want to ski that same day. The fact that he suggested that as a solution is just more evidence that he had zero interest in listening to what I need or in any way finding a way to help me. I hope this is an anomaly and not what I can expect from the shop going forward. I really enjoy having a local ski shop in West Seattle and I hope that my future experiences will be like all my previous ones.

The team members are very hands on and sociable w shoppers. Feels like u have a friend who knows basically everything about what you need and want in a board. They have snowboards and skateboards plus some small gear things tbh I'm new so don't ask for details as to what. Anyways if ur new or experienced I think this is a great place to go! Rn they have a 30% off on snowboarding stuff so def take advantage (without stealing stuff in my size ofc) def an average cost on new gear and good prices on used. Only 50$ for my 1 day rental on board, binding, boots and personalized for my ride style (80$ at Steven's and soooo uncozy ) Okay that's all I have to say enjoyyy

I was able to stand up after about an hour, and I was instantly hooked. Super fun, and totally worth the money.

I'd totally recommend these guys for anyone curious about the sport.

It was great seeing the updated posts leading to their grand opening today in West Seattle's Admiral District (7/8/23). Traffic was merciful on I-5S through downtown Seattle to get to the West Seattle Bridge. Street parking was a challenge near the busy intersection of Admiral and California, but patience pays off with a free spot with two hour limit. Lots of amenities, retail, cafes, and restaurants all in proximity. I was warmly greeted at the entrance and it sure was filled with happy shoppers and browsers, like myself. I love how each table, shelf, wall hanging were thoughtfully curated. Eye catching displays. Great gift and home decor ideas. Clothing and accessories that would excite your need for well deserved retail therapy. I tend to favor local, indie businesses, so wishing them all the best at Hoste. I did splurge on a handmade item to add to my collection. Stop by if you're in the neighborhood!
