Mission Skateboards is a solid skate shop.There is quite a skateboard scene in the Mission as have been to the skate parks here. I used to surf back in the day & skated a bit yet the ocean was more thing yet still have respect for skateboarding. I remember Mike McGill & Tony Hawk in the day. Skateboarding gets kudos for me for if you wipe out hitting the cement is no joke so definitely takes a daredevil to do this. In Mission Skateboards is Dying Breed SF Streetwear Clothing. I got to meet the designer & co-founder Andres Gonzalez. I like some of his designs as hip hop meets the streets with an urban edge. Happy 4th! read more

Scott was very helpful and patient needed a board to mob around the city and he made sure I was taken care of! The board I purchased is great I'm supper happy with it! read more

Walked in to look at boards as a gift for my boyfriend. The staff were friendly, and Scott was super helpful with providing me with info about boards and how to choose a couple based off of my boyfriend's skating style. They were shipped super fast and he even received some cool freebies, such as stickers and a magazine. My boyfriend is very pleased with the boards I bought him. Thank you, Scott! read more

This place is great. Always friendly and willing to talk to you about your options or get you a good fit. They're great people. I also find it easy to ask when they'll have parts in and come back later if I can't find a specific thing. They're really responsive on Messenger. read more

Mr. 5 year old has been asking to learn to skateboard. After trying it out at an SF Recs and Park Mobile Recreation event, little guy was ready to commit (props to SF recs and park!! it was fun and they had staff on hand to teach him). We signed him up for skateboard camp with Shred N Butter (another awesome organization!) and they recommended Mission Skateboards to us. Guy in there was chill, friendly, showed us what's good for little guy. And we were walking outta there with a newly fitted board. Board came with a sticker that said something about Acid Tripping... and guy discreetly handed it to me so I didn't have to explain to Mr. 5 what it means. Thumbs up!! read more

Great low key local skate-shop. Stuff was friendly and chill. Scott was more than helpful and patient (I was picking up my board for like 30 min). Eventually he assembled my brand new board professionally and recommended really good wheels for cruising in a city which I loved right away. Thank you so much guys! read more

We just bought two boards here from y daughters, 10 and 13 and had a great experience with the store and the owner, Scott. After I asked a bunch of questions and the girls looked at some possible boards, we ended up with an Enjoi and Stevie Perez. The best parts: This place is damn local. Scott was patient with this newbie dad who had a bunch of questions. Prices seemed in line with other places and the quality seems high. We paid about $100 per board, so they are not cheap, but I trust that these will last a while. If your middle schooler has a 3.0 or higher, with a report card you get 20% off. Fair warning, if you are looking for Target, REI or Sports Basement atmosphere, this is not the place for you, nor does it seem like they want to be that. There is not a HUGE selection of things and if you want gear like helmets and pads, this is not the place. It is clear that this is a true skateboarder's skateboard shop, so if you are going to try and fake it . . . good luck with that ;-) Overall, I would highly recommend Mission Skateboards in order to get high quality equipment as well as to support a local business who is very much integrated in the community. read more

Mission Skateboards - 10yo Annie with her new Stevie Perez board! - Skate Shops Near Me - San Francisco, California

There prices are good the boards are good they are friendly and recommend what you should get

Mission is the best, they're always so helpful and were the first skate shop to carry CREATE Skateboards!

Looked all over Yelp in NorCal and SoCal for a good place to get my first board. Mission Skateboards had good reviews and so I went to check it out. I was helped 1 on 1 with one of the guys behind the counter, who asked all sorts of questions like my experience and what kind of skating I wanted to do. From there, he walked me through all the steps of getting set up with the right parts. He explained why he was choosing each piece and gave me lots of options. Then he set it all up for me! Cost me around $130, which was right around the price point I was hoping for. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a board. They also look like they do repairs and sell some apparel. read more

Mission Skateboards - New board! With the Mission Skateboards logo - Skate Shops Near Me - San Francisco, California

Scott is the greatest! I walked in with literally no idea how to go about buying a board. He gave me all sorts of suggestions and opinions based on what it was that I wanted out of skateboarding. He was great to talk to, I'm not even certain what we talked about while he put together the board, but he was incredibly helpful and welcoming. I never felt like I asked any dumb questions, though he did laugh at my last inquiry xDD to be fair, I was laughing at myself, too. Overall a fantastic experience! Everything came out to $140ish, and I couldn't be happier with my board : ) Thanks so much, Scott!! read more

Mission Skateboards - Thanks, Scott, for putting together this sick board! : ) - Skate Shops Near Me - San Francisco, California

Super helpful for helping me out to make a meaningful birthday gift. Even though it's COVID, they were responsive on FB and I was able to come in wearing a mask and see their selection + get a custom skateboard built in just 15-20 mins. read more

Just a quick note to tech workers, people who saw t-shirts on instagram, electric longboarders, etc: It is OK for stoned 17 year old clerks to work in skateshops and for kids to be sitting around smoking cigarettes out front. It is an age old tradition that goes back generations. read more

So I've been watching a whole bunch of skate vids online the past few months. I first got exposed to some to of the "underground" skaters through the Epicly Later'd show on Vice Magazine's sister site vbs.tv. Even though I surf, I never really skated - just used it to get from point A to point B. After watching all these hardcore skaters launch themselves over ledges, rails, banks, and the like , I'm now inspired to finally learn how to ollie and with luck, maybe even bust a kick flip. Unfortunately, I went to the local shop in my hood but they're more into longboards and they didn't have much of what I was looking for. So, thank the lord for Yelp. After doing a search, I found Mission Skateboards... Scott - one of the shop guys at Mission- hooked me up with a great deck, trucks, and wheels! Put it all together in a jiffy too. I was additionally stoked to see him interact with a young street rat that was hanging about the shop. Scott was totally cool with the kid - they talked while he put my board together. So thanks Mission Skateboards - and special props to Scott - for getting me started on my latest obsession, skating. Let's hope I finally pull a decent ollie before I jack myself up too badly. read more

Step-son did a search on yelp and found MIssion Skateboards reviewed as a pretty cool skate shop. So my wife and I went with him to get a new deck at Mission Skateboards. As soon as I walked in the shop I knew it was going to be a good experience. The shop is happily reminiscent of all of the early skate shops that I remembered from the 80's and was a positive trip back in time. I was greeted with a Cabellero and a Rob Roskopp hanging on the wall which made me 12 years old again in and even I started considering my own setup to commute back and forth to work. The owner and his wife were amazing and accommodating. The owner's attention and interest that he shared with all of us, but most especially my step-son, felt very genuine. He was very patient with us as we spent about 45 minutes in his shop. It was great to see the staples of the rolling stick when I was a kid still rocking it. The owner's setup of the deck was perfect for my step-son, who is an avid skater. We were so impressed we also purchased a new Thrasher hoody for me and Mission Skate trucker cap for the wife. Of course we got some old school stickers for our very stereotypical Mac laptop. All in all, we all felt it was a great experience and I am certainly going back for my own selfish needs as soon as I get a moment to indulge them. read more

This board shop is great! Oswaldo was very kind to let me in the shop even though he was about to close the gate. He assembled my board quickly and gave good customer service and at the same time he was very knowledgeable. They have a good selection when it comes to boards and etc. My Indy trucks, bones reds bearings, spitfire 54 mm classic wheels, and bones medium bushings ride, sound, and feel like a dream. read more

YAY! I like this store. My favourite shoes comes from here, and half of the price they were asking for at HATE .....I won! read more

(Some background: Short Asian female who wanted to buy a skateboard after wanting to try it my entire life...I pretty much suck and can't even ollie but I enjoy the occasional pushing around and face planting in my living room...ok maybe not the last part) Right after I walk in, I couldn't help but feel that they were giving me strange looks. I look around the store for a while until the owner asked me if I needed any help. I told him that I wanted to buy a skateboard. He then asked me what kind of skating I do...I told him I wanted to learn how to push and maybe some tricks here and there. I got a 7.75 Adrian Williams deck with thunder trucks, 53mm atm wheels, some unbranded bearings and hardware (if I'm not mistaken), + grip. Really wanted to put it together myself but I thought it would probably be better to leave it to the professional (I regretted it later and took the entire thing apart and put it back together). The owner was super nice and gave me a couple pointers on how to tictac and recommended some skate spots where I live (though they were all knobbed). Overall really nice experience and the people there were really welcoming to newbies like me. It is a pretty small shop and they have alot of cool stuff that they make themselves. Support local skate shops as much as possible! read more

After having a nice breakfast last Saturday I was in a great mood and strolled into this shop with my girlfriend. I actually had a great experience with the owner who built me a custom board that he personally road a year ago. Mine was stolen out of my car, so I wanted to replace it. The guy who was working (whaldo, not sure on spelling) basically had a "why are you bothering me attitude" This was our dialogue... Me: I'm looking for a board like that one on the wall, do you have one? Whaldo: no we don't... Me: okay, can you order one? Whaldo: no I can't, we get them when they come in Me: you know when that will be? Whaldo: not sure. Me: okay what can we do? I'd like to buy a board today Whaldo: I don't know what to tell you This later escalated into profanity being used by whaldo as I walked out. Long story short this place was a great spot with good vibes when the owner is there, but his staff could care less and seem like 30 year olds who want to act cool in front of teenagers. read more

So I have to admit that I was pretty nervous getting back on the board. It had been a few years (try 10) and I wasn't quite concerned about cracking my skull in those old days of barreling down hills and bailing in ditches. I tried to play it cool as all the skater kids came in and loitered. I was concerned about shelling out a lot of cash when I wasn't even sure if I could even stand on the damn thing anymore, so the guy hooked me up with an old deck, old trucks, and even old bearings (I had to sort through the box myself on those), all for FREE! I just bought some nice street wheels, a screw/nut kit, and he set the entire board up for me. It was pretty ridiculous. He even offered to bring me some of his old stuff lying and give it to me. So basically if you're a casual rider, or looking to get started without a big investment, check out what decks and trucks they have and see how cheaply they can set you up. You'll walk out with a board that's already got some street cred. You're still gonna bust your ass though. They can't help you with that. read more

My experience wasn't quite as stellar as the other reviewers. I went in on a Sunday afternoon with my ten year old girl. We were on boards. Simple skate needs, so I thought: a cool skate helmet for her, and a few bearing spacers and speedrings to fettle a board at home. Meh. We have just one sort of crash hat, stashed away in the corner, and no we don't have any choice of sizes .... About the common skateboard parts you need, no all we have is stuff in this glass case, you see, and did you know that you can only buy spacers and washers if you buy whole boxes of bearings .... Lots of cool t-shirts, though. We left empty-handed, and irritated. read more

Just got my first complete here! Price was stellar after using the Yelp check in. The selection is good for how small the store is, Scott knows his stuff and is super chill! He helped me along the entire process of choosing the right board, trucks, and wheels for me. Scott was super friendly and gave a lot of great advice to my thousands of questions. I left the store in no time and with an awesome complete. read more

I was coming back from St. Francis Fountain and noticed that I have a new neighbor! Hello Mission Skateboards! This is a good neighbor to have. My favorite part is that they have girly skate apparel and boards. A close second is how this store has become a little epicenter for hipster skate boarders. There's lots of high-fivin' and cool nods going on outside. Mission Skateboards also has logo t's that reflect your Mission roots. read more

Really, really friendly owner. They could use a little bit bigger selection on some things but it is a small store. I did buy 2 of their Mission shirts, 1 for my lil' guy and 1 for my sexy wife :) Definitely stop in and check the place out! read more

Got up early on the weekend and Bought a nice set of 52 blank wheels and a set of Spitfire Cheapshot bearings here. The shop is small and neat and has a nice vibe. The guy behind the counter was super helpful guiding me to the best wheels and bearings for my bucks. Definitely drop in for your skating needs -- near Philz Coffee too! read more

Cool skate shop. The guys working there is very nice. I bought a full deck for cruising and some new wheels later. The prices are wright. Support your local shops!! read more

I haven't bought much stuff here, but it has a very nice, friendly vibe. half of it is a bicycle shop and I felt OK, although I'm afraid of hardcore fixie bicycle people, I'm always saying a bicycle part name wrong and getting this weird, disapproving look. The bike people seemed chill here even though I have a total fear of the bicycle world. There's a great selection of skateboarding magazines. I had a very tough time not staring at the autographed skateboard decks on the wall, among them a Cardiel. It was really hypnotic and almost sacrilegous. There is no real logical reason why being near an autographed skateboard deck would make me skate in a wonderful way instead of a massively pathetic way. My version of reality is too performance based to include such solutions. However, the human mind is built on magic, and perhaps it's a placebo and placebos work! read more

I went here to buy my 10 yr old son a beginners board. The guys were very nice and helpful. He built the skateboard with the specs of my son's size and gave him free stickers to decorate his board. He also gave me %10 off with the Yelp code. My son loves his board and I'll definitely come back here when my daughter's old enough to skate. read more

Sketchy vibes. Terrible selection. More graffiti spray paint than skate shop. Total dump.

Great local skateshop in the Mission District and probably in SF. The guy working there is very chill, answered all my questions, and put together my board! I bought a complete deck with cruise wheels and it was only $125, which is pretty cheap for a quality deck! Also, it only took about 15 mins for him to set up the whole board which is other +1 for quality service. I will definitely go back there for replacement parts or another deck. read more

Went in here a while back for my first board and the owner totally helped me out. Super nice dude, and setup a board for me that I've been loving. Patently explained a lot of the parts, considerations, etc. He was also a super nice dude when I rolled in the other day and just sort of shot the shit about skating for a while and glanced at some shoes. Awesome customer service. Only reason I am knocking off one star is for the selection of parts / shoes. Some other places in town have a pretty decent selection, but this is a smaller shop. I'll continue to support my Mission skateboards, and love the attitude. Hope to see you guys grow! read more

The owner was super helpful answering questions and helping find what I was looking for. I was stoked he was able to help me out with a purchase from the other side which is more of a streetwear/graf shop. It's dope to have a shop on this side of the city. read more

The person that helped me out today (sorry I don't know his name) was extremely helpful and friendly. He gave me some good advice about the wheels, bearings, hardware, and trucks I was using. He even used some lube on the bearings, great customer service! read more

Shop clerk was definitely blazing up. I waited 10mins out front and when he got back he didn't make eye contact with me and looked afraid. This sucks. Really wanted to support the local business. And they don't sell skate tools. A skate shop that doesn't carry skate tools.Go figure. read more

Built a complete board from scratch with the help of a store clerk. He was helpful and gave good information on the available products. He put my board together well and I was off riding within 20 minutes. Average prices. Definitely recommend. read more

This is my new go to store, I've been to lots of other stores and this one is by far the best. Wonderful staff and they are all knowledgable. Scott was especially great. Head a go getter a attitude, even know I didn't know anything he was very patient with me. They also don't try to up sell you on everything. They offer you want you need. Will be back again. read more

The bolts on my board needed to be replaced and so I contacted Mission Skateboards. The owner was quick to respond and very friendly. He fixed my board with ease and now it's riding smooth again. If you need a reliable skateboard shop, this is your place! read more

This review is for the clothing section of Mission Skate called Dying Breed - which I believe is kinda run separately. Went to find a shirt I had seen online from their Instagram and could barely walk in the shop bc there were a bunch of kids crowding the door area smoking and being loud. Super uninviting outside and in, but I looked for this specific shirt anyway. When asking about it the answer was pretty much "i don't know but if it's not there then we don't have it" which is extremely unhelpful. There is no rythm or reason to the organization of styles, sizes, or prices on anything. Finally chose a shirt and went to pay and the kid (who looked no more than 17) took literally 5 mins trying to work the square app. Slides my card, flips the iPad and it's $55 for a screen printed basic ass Hanes T-shirt with no more than like 4 colors in the printing. Thinking he made a mistake I asked again for the price and then the price of the matching hoodie which was $85. They are legit out of their mind with those prices and when your clothing is to appeal to a young ass, hood type, native SF person - good luck with that pricing. Extremely unreasonable for their target demographic. Cancelled the sale and walked out. Checking my bank account daily making sure I don't have a charge from them. read more
