Unfortunately the shop didn't have the size we needed but he gave me very helpful knowledge on brands, safety and other places I could buy one. He didn't have to that. I would have preferred to give him my business but I was able to buy a helmet he recommended at a local bike shop. I am not skater but my observation of the clothing and shoe selection is that it's stylish and well curated. We will be back to buy some clothing another time. Thank you again!

This local store is like a neighborhood version of Vans. It has a lot of Vans merchandise like…read moresneakers, clothing, hats, etc....as well as other name brand sporting goods. They have a nice selection of skateboards for sale and they also do local maintenance on them. Civil was created by Guido Silvestri and Rob Asselin in 2006. After many years of working in retail, the two founders imagined a store concept outside the realm of the traditional skate/snowboard/surf shop. The vision was realized in 2007 when the first Civil location opened in East Greenwich Rhode Island. Since then they added stores in Providence and Westerly Rhode Island.....this particular one is on Westminster St, Providence downtown. Their product mix at each one of their stores varies to suite the three distinct locations: in the city (Providence), on main street (EG), and by the beach (Westerly). Civil also has a private label collection and they have been honored to collaborate on projects with elite brands including Nike SB and SLVDR. They support local ripping skateboarders and snowboarders, including the notorious Yawgoons. Since they opened, Civil has been involved in the local skateboard and snowboard community by hosting and sponsoring contests, demos, park cleanups, video premiers, and other cultural events. The staff is young and very hip. Mostly guys in their 20s that love skateboarding, so they know their stuff when asked questions. I went to check the prices of a few sneakers and they were very helpful in regards to the differences among them.

At first I wasn't sure if I should trust it or not since they're not one of the traditional online retailers that I've heard of but then I saw their website looked legit so I decided to order from them. Their prices are really good! I was just planning to buy wheels, but I also ended up buying laces and a skate wrench. I put in my order November 16 at night and I received my package on November 19 in the afternoon! I did not expect it to be that fast so I was very pleasantly surprised. Everything came packaged well and my items all arrived in perfect condition. Highly recommended if you're looking to order online from them.

We were greeted instantly by Brian, who was more than helpful during our whole visit. I explained to him we were new to the sport and did not want/need the most expensive equipment. He hooked it up with a lot of discounts (since we were buying in bulk) and made sure we took a look at last season's gear to save money. I received some of the best service of my short 28 year old life...I'd gladly go back anytime, although I hope I don't need to...Brian even offered to help with our bindings as well. Have I mentioned how cool the shop is? Highly recommend - would not go anywhere else for gear or snowboard insight.

For the record to staff there Sku's are an inventory control system and point of sale pricing tool and its insulting to be told otherwise. They know if it sold from that store.
