I traveled halfway around the world to San Francisco and then drove an hour to visit Santa Cruz for a day. The highlight of my journey was stopping by Skateworks.
I had the pleasure of meeting the owner's father, Rubin (I hope I got your name right; English is not my first language). We had a great conversation about his family's 30-year history in the skateboarding business, his son—a professional skater for Santa Cruz—and some essential tips on setting up the perfect skateboard for myself.
It was a very pleasant experience, and I got a decent skateboard at a reasonable price. I highly recommend every skater visiting Santa Cruz to stop by Skateworks.

Most memorable stop in Santa Cruz. My son wanted a custom built skateboard and this is where TO GO! Jason and his daughter were so helpful and welcoming. We laughed about how little I knew about the skating world, obviously when you're from the Midwest! I can't say enough about how awesome this place is and I will never forget the memories we made here as a family. Thank you:) little perk: we met the mom of another famous skater while shopping! Definitely the place to go for all your skating needs.

Excellent customer service! Very clean organized store. I noticed discounts around the shop, which is always really nice! It was pretty quiet too, not many people there at the time we stopped in, which I love. The guy working recommended us to local skateparks by name, which we checked out and they were totally awesome!

A great experience with my partner getting our first boards, couldn't recommend Skateworks enough!The owner was incredibly helpful and fun to chat with. He let us learn about the differences without us feeling any pressure to buy or take on more than what we were ready for. Someone even ran in asking for help to fix their board and he let them borrow some tools right away with no charge.With something like 35 years of service, you could tell he does it for the love of skating, and his passion was infectious making us that much more excited to get out there and try it!Whether you are passing through or live in the area, this should be your go-to skate shop.

Something sparked in me recently that I wanted to try roller skating again. I was searching all over for quad skates. After driving to many stores, my husband found Skateworks and I said it would be our last stop in our search. This shop turned our whole day around.Bill was definitely the person I needed to speak to about skating. He has vast knowledge from previously sponsoring roller derby in the area and I got to see some old acquaintances come in getting upgrades to their derby gear. He was extremely patient, kind, and honest while working with me. By the end of the visit, I didn't want to leave because we were having such great conversations.I mentioned to him many times how much I appreciate an individual like him when we live in the world of online shopping. Best birthday gift! Thanks again Bill!

This is a hidden gem! I went in looking for roller skates and they were extremely knowledgeable and very patient as I tried on a few different pairs. We ended up leaving with roller skates for me, new skateboard wheels and grip tape for my fiance's board and my son got a beanie and a hat. They have a great variety. I definitely recommend them.

My daughter is doing Derby so I needed skates and set up. I did not want to spend a fortune. No pressure, full support, even helped me change bearings, wheels etc!
