Wow! How lucky Charlotte (bulldog) and I were to end up at Chapman…read more From speaking to Glenn on the phone, to getting down to the place and meeting Greg we were super happy. I needed Charlotte to get an upgrade from the 2nd skateboard she has been learning on and using. Greg was fabulous! He created exactly what she needed with patience and tenacity exceeding my expectations. Beyond his wonderful attitude and demeanor, his willingness to please and understand exactly what Charlotte needed was impeccable! (As I know very little about skateboards) This is just the beginning of Charlotte's upgrade journey, so stay tuned, ... this is our skateboarding place, and it can be yours too!! It can shift your day when you find people who care!

Then the employee halfway through replacing them with worse generic although working bearings, said that they wouldn't be free, would cost 15$, and that he wouldn't switch them for the bones reds I wanted. After that I left and I tried it out for 3 seconds on their floor, however changed my mind and went back for the reds. Then the employee said that they didn't accept returns because I rode on it. TLDR services terrible.

She was fitted for a size 1 ice skate and I was hesitant because I had just sized up her sneakers to 2s. I was assured there was plenty of room and deferred to them on it. Of course a month later she was complaining about them being too small. We came back to Peck's and they exchanged them for 2s and only subtracted $20 from the refund for her having worn them for a month. They had some scuffs and the insoles showed her feet print but they were otherwise in pristine condition. It was a better deal than I hoped for and I sincerely appreciate the accommodation of her growing feet. It goes to show how important customer service is because we will for sure be customers for life now (she really loves skating so it seems like we will stick with it, ha see what I did there?). Thank you Peck's!

So my kid asked for a skateboard this Christmas. A specific one. It had to be a blank deck with…read morepink wheels and blue grip tape. Being an old skater, I started looking around for independent skate shops (not knowing if they still existed since I haven't been on a board since '89). I went to another shop first (not knowing about Pro Skateboard) and got a board built that was a complete hack job. I didn't want to go back there because A: they obviously don't know what they're doing, and B: I'd rather just find a reputable shop. That's where Pro Skateboard comes in. Found them online. Brought the lump of coal that the other shop called a skateboard in to see if they could fix it. The owner was there (Bob?) and a guy behind the counter (I forget your name, man.) they polished this thing into a diamond. No attempt at an up sell. No attitude about bringing a board in from another shop. They were friendly, professional, and highly skilled. Walked out with a board that is aces. So they didn't sell me this board- but anything my kid needs going forward will come from this shop. I'm also going to grab a board for myself to cruise around with the kid and I'll be buying it here. Prices are more than fair, but once again- the people here are what make the difference. Support your local businesses that do right by the customer. All the best to Pro Skateboard Shop.

At no point should bolts randomly fling off your bike while you going down the Brooklyn bridge going 24mph. I'm a high school student and I had to pay for my bike with my own money. I've been working since 10th grade to help my mom because she is a single parent so for me the loss of about 5k including repairs leave me without transportation as I can not afford to repair it at this point. I've spent 3.7k on a bike, this isn't including the repairs i had to pay over the span of a year which amount to at least 1.4k+ after random bolts detaching and motor failing, and as soon as the warranty expired my bike had a random electrical issue where the bike wouldn't accelerate. From the owner Pete: OK, where are you going? (Direct email sent from owner) 1- Last Mile NYC replaces all of the electronics on your bike. The cost of the parts and labor is $2910.54 2- Send your bike back to Super73. They will do their own diagnosis, and determine the issues and fix the problems. Unfortunately your bike is not under warranty, the cost of packing up and freighting your bike to and from Super73 will be around $1200. Plus their diagnostic fee, parts and labor.

I guess you could say we did the full Locals experience: a surf lesson at Locals Surf School…read morefollowed by a meal at Locals Collective, which shares ownership with, and is only a block away from, the surf school location at Beach 69th. Locals Collective is such a sweet l'il cafe. The vibe is relaxed and lovely, with friendly, helpful staff (especially the woman wearing the ramen cat shirt, whose name I didn't get, unfortunately). The menu is small, but includes some healthy options like the breakfast sammy (with two eggs, avocado, sprouts, tomato, Monterey Jack cheese, and spicy aioli on whole grain toast), acai bowls, wraps, overnight oats and that sort of thing. The breakfast sandwich wasn't very big -- or rather it was a normal size, well filled, but made with commercially standard-size sliced bread, not a hero, sub, or roll -- and was perhaps a touch spendy at $12. The Progeny inhaled the sandwich after snarfing down a sushi roll we'd brought -- and still wanted two large protein bars, after. (I guess surfing cultivates a good appetite.) He said he enjoyed it, though. My iced coffee was a touch weak, but serviceable. There's pleasant seating indoors and out, with a few folks working on laptops. There are quite a few dining options on this particular block, including burritos, pizza, ice cream, and a few full-service restaurants -- but in terms of aesthetics and overall look-feel, Locals Collective takes the win. Surf boards (I think soft tops only) are available for rent at Locals Collective, for $35 / 2 hours. Prices are a bit higher than at Breakwater Surf, which rents for a jaw droppingly low price of $5 an hour -- but Locals does offer additional amenities like changing rooms and a shower, which I'm prima-donna enough to think is worth it. You can also rent a wet suit, which you'll probably want if the air temp is anything cooler than 75F. Waves at Beach 68 are fairly small, but reportedly consistent. We'll be back for more, I'm sure.
