    Needed bearings for a skateboard and was just driving by. Best experience ever! Pleasantly greeted at door. Bearing installation was free. Learned a thing or two. All staff are charming and happy to be constructive as needed. Lots of surf and land toys. Loved this place!

    New customer

    Man much thanks to these guys. I'm not into scooters but my little brother is so he decided to order everything online and build one, man I was lost when it came to building it and compression for the bars and fork these guys are worth the drive. Super friendly staff helped us out a bunch and answered any questions we had as well as helped us build it. Thank you NC Boardshop

    I came in today for my birthday to finally buy the skateboard that I have wanted for a while now. I was not greeted by anyone but there was a gentleman behind the register. I went into the skateboard area to look for the skateboard and after a while the gentleman came into the area and said are you looking for something and I said i was looking for a specific skateboard. It sounded like he asked if he could hold my dog and I questioned him, hold my dog? And he says yes can you hold your dog and I replied why do I need to hold my dog and he says we do not allow dogs in here and I replied even service dogs? He replies to me rudely I don't see a vest on him and I said it's in my car if you would like me to go get it if it would that make you feel better it's right there I could go get it. He continues with saying never mind just hurry up and I asked while he's putting skateboards on the shelf not paying sny attention to me about this specific skateboard and he replies that's last year's and I asked if he was able to get it because I really love it and he said rudely "no I can't". so I turned around left and I went to Zumiez and spent my money there and got A wonderful board with awesome customer service. I will NEVERRRRR return to NC shop again. Guess they didn't want my money. O and I have 3 skateboarding kids so you know I'll be buying more stuff. If you want to place that definitely has customer service I suggest you don't go to NC shop cuz that'll be the last thing you get.

    I had a terrific shopping experience here today. With the current pandemic, it is so hard finding a shop with any real customer service to answer questions or allow me to see skateboards in person. Then, I remembered NC Boardshop in Los Gatos after driving by so many times over the years. I called first and found out they have retail hours. Although was not able to go inside, I was able to shop at the door. John was extremely helpful. He answered all of my questions and pointed me in the right direction in buying beginner skateboards for my 6-year-old nephew and 6-year-old son. I ended up buying 2 NC Boardshop skateboards with soft wheels. Thank you!

    The girls can't make up their minds!

    Love this place!! The Good: These guys know there stuff. I first came looking to get my daughter (at the time 12 years old) a skateboard. They asked a number of questions and really took their time fitting her with what would work for her. In addition to the boards, they have a great selection of shoes, hats and socks (yes socks -- my kid loves coming here as they have a sock selection not available at any of the other stores). The Bad: The board selection is huge! Telling a 12 year old to pick what they like with a selection this large is a challenging task but definitely worth it! The Ugly: The shop is very close to the middle school so whatever you do, avoid this place around 3pm during school hours or you will be sitting in busy busy traffic. In summary, this is the place to get a skateboard in LG or the surrounding area. We comparison shopped at other stores in Santa Cruz and these guys won out!

    Really like this shop. Now if they'd just carry stuff for skates :) We came here cause my son wanted a new scooter, the kid isn't even 13 and he's 5'11". So we were looking for something with taller bars and a deck big enough for his clown feet. Lol. I'll be honest and say we weren't planning on buying here before we came. We assumed it'd be pretty pricey- being in Los Gatos. Pleasantly surprised. Their prices seemed on par with online. The staff was super nice. Helpful. Weren't pushy. I'd highly recommend this place for scooter/skateboard stuff. Looked like they had a lot of apparel too. Got 1 happy kiddo. Definitely be back. Even more often if they start carrying stuff for skates...hint hint. Lol. Just saying I've been ponder a pair of tri-skates and the only thing that's stopped me is buying online is a pain.

    Stickers mania for my daughters first board!!

It was very cost effective and IMO it works incredibly well for families with growing children. We were going in a last minute trip and I was able to find everything I needed for a very reasonable renting price and just needed to spend a few minutes inside the store. Staff was super helpful guiding me through the process. This is my favorite Sports Basement location. Highly recommend!

    "Best Footwear Experience--Ask for Steve!"…read more I've been to countless running and shoe stores over the years, but my experience at the Campbell Sports Basement was on an entirely different level. If you are looking for new shoes, do yourself a favor and find Steve in the footwear department. His knowledge is genuinely unmatched. He didn't just point me to the newest or most expensive model; he took the time to understand the mechanics of my feet and explain the nuances of every shoe we discussed. He even had me running down the aisles in various pairs to ensure the fit and feel were perfect. It was easily the best customer service I've ever had, better than some shoe speciality shop! To top it off, I found out about their "Love Your Purchase" return policy. It's a total game-changer--knowing I can actually test these out and bring them back if they don't work for my feet gives me so much peace of mind. Between Steve's expertise and the store's return policy, I won't be going anywhere else for my gear.

We needed snowboarding gear - the whole shebang - and he spent ages with us, patiently explaining all the differences between boards, boots, gloves, the lot! He even made sure we got a helmet that actually fit (which is harder than it sounds!). It wasn't just about selling us stuff; he really made sure we got exactly what we needed. And he mentioned their snowboard service, to get the snowboard ready to use, which was a lifesaver knowing we're total newbies! Seriously, we were in the store for about four hours, and Thomas was fantastic the entire time. He's super knowledgeable and friendly - he made the whole experience fun, not stressful at all. He deserves a massive pat on the back (and maybe a bonus!). Also the whole store was 50% off which made it a deal to get everything needed for the rest of the season and into next!

The guy work there is rude and refuse to acknowledge mistake and blame us and my daughter for it. Today we came in to get my daughter a new ski boot since she feels the boot is not comfortable. They fitted my daughter 17.5 today, but the boot we got last year is 18.5. Surprised by this, we actually found out they sold us a boot of 18.5 shell with 17.5 liner last year! When I asked the guy (who seems to be in charge) how it happened and what can we do, he became rude and says that the boot is trash now and it doesn't matter what they sold us last year. He even blame my 6 year old daughter for walking on the toe. Sure the boot has some wear on the toe pad but come on, you blame a 6 year old girl for your own mistake? When we look closely, the liner can move a lot inside the shell. I cannot imagine how my daughter was able to ski 40days last season with ski team. I told him she can get injured due to this. You know what he says? "Ski is dangerous sport and you can get injured in lots of ways". COME ON! All I wanted was some professional opinion on how to deal with a mismatch between shell and liner and an apology on their mistake. But the response I get is this. What further puzzled me is that how come they boot fitted my daughter 18.5 last year and 17.5 this year. Apparently they don't know what they are doing, or not willing to do it correctly.
