Alrite i live in the suburbs about 15-30min from King of Prussia depending on traffic. The name of my town in Collegeville. I was wondering if there are any good shops that sell longboard stuff around. all i ever find (and where i got my first board) was zumiez but now i need somewhere i can actually see decks cuz im one of the few people i know that longboards.

I live in South philly, but grew up in delco. Theres a buttload of places to get risers and griptape all around, but if youre looking for a place that sells longboards thats going to be tough. The places I know are

Kinetic in wilmington, they carried gravity when I was there 4 years ago

Logic in havertown has had longboards and wheels on occasion.

and theres a place in the springfield mall that has arbors and S9s.

Sorry most of the places I know are south of the city, I'm not up in the sticks very often.

The town of West Chester has an awesome shop named Fairmans. It's been around for many years and for a shop that services mostly shortboarders, they have a great selection of longboard stuff. G&S, randal, seismic, S9, they have it all.

Thats usually where I go. I try to avoid nocturnal cause theres always hordes of children there like lord of the flies stuff.

There's a small new-ish shop in Pottstown called Bentley's Boards. I don't know what exactly he is stocking right now... he mostly caters to shortboards but wants to offer longboards as well. He told me he had an order in with Landyachtz, so it's a start.

He also wants to start a weekly or monthly get-together so hopefully we can get something started there.
