If you are looking for that true authentic Southern California Skate shop I highly recommend swinging by Furnace. It's located along Valley View in a shopping center. They have an awesome selection of different clothes by everyone from Nike SB , Former , Polar , Stussy and many more . Staff were friendly and helpful. I watched the owner Randy help a first timer put together and build his first board. Very cool watching the kids excitement . He couldn't wait to go out and put the wheels to the pavement. Of course a huge well curated collection of different boards on the wall. And don't worry if you can't find one on the wall they have even more down below. I will be coming back.

Small skate shop in Buena Park. I stopped by just to browse and left with a new set of cruiser wheels and some stickers.

Skateboard is being assembled

My daughter and I went to purchase our first skateboards. We were relying on my husband's recommendations before we walked in as he is very familiar with skateboarding but the man in the shop was very knowledgeable and provided great insight. I never felt pressured to buy anything unnecessary or felt talked down to. Overall it was a great experience and we are stoked to start learning how to skateboard!

My boyfriend and I stopped in today, the following is his review on the shop. "Furnace has always been a staple since the Seal Beach days. Got a fresh set up. The customer service was nothing shy of legitness. Thrasher down for life Thanks Randy, you da man!"-Jeromi

Awesome New Trucks and Wheels

This was my first time here and I can't say enough about how awesome Gem was. I brought in my Vintage Skateboard from the 80's and I knew I needed New Trucks and Wheels. Gem fitted my Skateboard all up and my Niece was ecstatic on how cool it looked and how smooth is rolled. Gem Thanks for your Expertise and awesome personality.

Friendly staff. Informative. Good vibes. Clean shop. Got hooked up with a solid set up by Ben. Highly recommend this place! Called first to confirm if they're open since it is rare to see a small retail store having later hours. It's not a crime to want to close earlier than their posted time though.

How much do you estimate a board is I need a new board and thinking about supporting a local skate shop so can you estimate how much you think like a deck or board is?

Do they help beginners find and set up their first boards? I'm having trouble with what size decks/brand, trucks, and wheels are right for me and am pretty shy due to not knowing much and bugging the employees.

Hey there, Alice. Thanks for reaching out! So, if there’s one thing I always stress to the crew, it’s to make people feel comfortable here. We might get a little busy at… Read more

KNOWLEDGEABLE & APPROACHABLE…read more WETSUIT EXPERIENCE Came in looking for a wetsuit--left knowing everything I needed to make the right call. CHANCE, the board and wetsuit manager, walked me through seams, thickness, materials, and zippers, explaining how each one plays a role in keeping you warm. He also helped double-check the fit on the suits I tried. Super helpful. Knows his stuff. BUYING EXPERIENCE DANIEL, holding it down downstairs, was welcoming and easy to talk to. Told me to swing back any time I needed gear or had questions. Solid vibe. THE #1 SPOT FOR WETSUITS & SURF GEAR They've got a full floor dedicated to wetsuits--and not just any suits, but legit options. If you surf in California, like I do, you'll want a 3/2mm full suit. The Xcel suits they carry are top-tier--way better than the cheap Amazon ones. Sure, they're a little pricier, but they actually keep you warm and hold up. If you're looking for a wetsuit, new board, or surf gear, check out Inflight first. You'll be stoked you did.

We were lucky today!…read more Took my 95 year old mother in law on a shoe shopping spree. We needed wide shoes. They had wide shoes! We needed Sketchers. And they had it! Now, drum roll please....we needed 10 wide. They had 10 wide! It's not easy coming across this size and width. Service was super polite and super helpful. If you have regular width size, there are plenty of shoes for you. Brands like Vans, Nike, New Balance to name a few, are available. Husband and I are even more pleased than mama on this after Christmas gift! Located in the Daiso shopping center on Knott and Katella, there are plenty of parking.

I upgraded to spend over $100 more my choice no problem. This is my second visit to the store and where I will caution everybody is they watch you as if you are a criminal. In addition the gentleman that works there, maybe the owner is so overpowering with his Customer service does not let you touch or look at shoes without him being next to you. I don't need help I'm a grown man I know what shoe size I am. I was there to get some black shoes and he's pulling out navy and other colors when I didn't ask for it. The Customer service is over the top in a bad way. They need to let people shop at their leisure and just kindly ask if One needs help. That is why they have a low score
