Great selection, friendly staff -- anytime anyone asks me where to buy their first setup, I always steer them here. You dan't go wrong! It's also become a tradition to take all my visiting out of town skate friends here each trip.

We had such a great experience at 510 Skateboarding. I brought my kids in to get helmets and pads,…read moreand the owner, Dandy, helped us personally. She was incredibly patient making sure their helmets fit just right, and even gave them free stickers--which completely made their day. Dandy told us she opened the shop back in 1998 right after graduating from UC Berkeley, and she's kept it going ever since. In today's world, when so many people just buy straight from brands online, it's amazing to see a brick-and-mortar shop like this still thriving. It's not easy, but it's clear how much she cares about her community and her customers. The shop itself is fantastic--great selection of shoes, clothes, hats, skateboard decks, trucks, and more. The vibe is super friendly and laid-back, and you can tell it's a real community hub. Honestly, 510 is a total asset to the Bay Area. We'll definitely be back.

This review is long overdue!! I seriously can't recommend Orbit Skates & Boutique enough! I reached…read moreout to so many piercing shops trying to find a place that was affordable, clean, & sterile, & Orbit had the best prices by far. They include free jewelry with every piercing (or you can upgrade for a little charge) & they have so many different Jewelry options to choose from. The staff was super friendly & made me feel welcome the second I walked in. The vibe was amazing, & the fact that they're walk-in friendly makes it even better. Whether you're looking to get pierced, shop for jewelry, or pick up skateboard gear, Orbit is definitely the place to-go !! My birthday is in a week, so I'll definitely be back to get another piercing !!

When we realized all 3 pads wouldn't fit in our car alongside our luggage, we went back in and the employee working was super helpful, easily swapping one out for a smaller size with zero hassle. Both picking up and dropping off the gear was completely seamless. Highly recommend their rental department; I'll definitely be renting and buying from them again!

Quite frustrating experience with their online order process now…read more I ordered some bike tires on the website yesterday, which clearly stated 'Pick up at Berkeley within 1 hour'. I never received the 'order ready for pick up' email'. So later in the day, I called the store and they said that my items are having to come from another store. Why did the website say it would be ready in an hour then? Further, the guy said to check back tomorrow. It's now tomorrow and my items are still not in. Now I'm being told it will probably be a couple more days. Seriously, what gives with their inventory process? It is very clear that their website lies and I would be very concerned about believing it if it says that you can order and have your order ready to be picked up in an hour, or even that day....

Hope the community can support this lovely shop and I can return for an actual board once I'm worthy of one! Oh, and the prices here are more than reasonable. Best value in the Bay Area, plus will happily pay extra to support locally owned businesses over Amazon or chains.

If you can even call it that. I have returned the product and have not gotten my money back. I do not want them to try to fix anything as I do not trust their cobbler knows what they're doing. Unless I'm interested in ending my career. I'm not one to usually do any of this but I want to warn people to NOT BUY from SP-Teri EVER. As I know others have been having issues with their workmanship.

Wanted to update that their name and address are now:…read more A&G Skate 90 South Spruce Ave, Suite R, South San Francisco, CA 94080 George and Aaron are the best! My feet don't fit the stock Riedell and Jackson boots, and I've been disappointed after visiting other shops. During my visit to A&G, George (the G of A&G) fitted me in a split-width SP-Teri boot, which is narrower in heel than ball of feet. I couldn't believe how well they fit! I felt like Cinderella finally putting on my long-lost glass slipper. As a beginning skater, the skates were more expensive than I was hoping to pay, but I know they will make up for it in the reduction of pain and hopefully faster improvement. If the SP-Teri's don't fit, they also have Riedell and Jackson brand boots. Definitely check out this skate shop. I'll definitely come here again for all my future sharpenings and skating needs.

The staff definitely carry that "too cool" Supreme vibe, so don't expect warm customer service, but that kind of comes with the territory. One thing to note: the area outside can be a little rough. There were quite a few unhoused folks around, and you definitely need to watch your step on the sidewalk. If you're a fan of the brand, it's worth checking out, just be prepared for the surroundings.

I shook my head no, wondering where this could possibly be going. "Crocs feel exactly the way you think they would feel just by looking at them." That's how the Supreme store feels. Exactly how you'd expect, exactly what you'd expect, exactly who you'd expect. And it's not that it's some torturous experience or anything, it's just not necessarily worth a visit aside from a drop that you wouldn't be able to obtain online. But, you likely wouldn't even be able to find out if what you're after is in stock in-store or available anyway because staff so rarely answer calls made to the store.
