Whoa, you mean stores aren’t just showrooms for you to browse, and get info, to make a better buying decision on amazon?! But wait, when all the stores are gone where is my kid gonna get their first job?? Where am i gonna get a donation for my schools fundraiser? It matters where you shop my friends, and the future looks bleak
Bad customer service and their children’s love for skateboarding brought them into this world 36 years ago and now we celebrate their retirement and departure from it. This Sunday in Santa Cruz we’ll be skating, eating and showing some love for my parents Bill and Paula, who opened Skate Works in 1988 and have weathered all the ups and downs of retail combined with that of the skate industry ever since. Jason (@strubacca ) has been right there with them the entire time so the complete passing of the torch should be about as seamless as it gets… aside from the absence of silver hair and a gap tooth smile greeting you from behind the counter.
Come be a part of the festivities this Sunday from 2-6 at @skateworkssantacruz
•It’s hard to express the amount of appreciation I have for what you did for us. I still have such a vivid memory of the first box of product arriving to our house (cause we didn’t even have the keys to the store yet)… all the silkscreen smells while organizing everything. Most likely toxic but so damn nostalgic!! I couldn’t believe it was really happening! Thank you for being the best parents a kid and now adult kid could ever ask for♥️♥️!!
Also, thanks to the skate shop employee who pissed my mom off and made us put everything down and leave the store. You set the spark for all of this! I won’t say the shop name but the slogan ended with… “or go home!”…@skateworkssantacruz@pmssmp@skateworks@strubacca 🎉🍻
My wife Shaena is running the New York Marathon to raise funds for East African children born into poverty and diagnosed with cancer. Nine out of 10 of these children will not survive (as compared to one out of 10 in the United States). The charity I am running for, Shoe4Africa, is committed to building the first children’s cancer hospital in Sub-Saharan Africa. In 2015, they opened the first public children’s general hospital in East Africa which treats 400+ patients a day. Please help me reach my fundraising goal of $3000. Donations are tax deductible, and 100% of the funds raised will go directly to making this hospital a reality. Full details and link in bio
