    Default MN longboard shops?

    are there any really nice longboard shops in the Minneapolis, MN area that sell more than just one or two crappy brands. like i would really just like to know if there are any shops devoted to totally longboarding, or close to that.

    Another place that I've been repping for years is Hot Spot out in Blaine. It's definitely worth the drive. It's sweet because they stock the wheels all the time, unlike Cal Surf which is kind of hit or miss. Nothing against Cal Surf though, they have a killer shop.

    For wheels, they're getting in Orangatangs and a few different Abec 11 models. They rock Paris trucks with occasional RIIs. Right now, they have Never Summer, Sector 9, and Loaded boards. Soon they'll be selling Raygun Longboards too .

    Blaine, MN 55434

    Another place to check is Pinewskis out in Anoka, right off of Highway 10. They don't have the wheels or trucks that Hot Spot does, but they do carry Landyachtz and Loaded boards.

    Hope this helps!

    Those Riley Lake Design boards are very nice. I think I heard about them over at Hoigaards for the first time. If so, they are a couple of guys down south somewhere by Faribault I think.
    Skate 'em if you got 'em,

    Air Raid Skateshop is easily the best shop, they actually have longboards that arn't original or loaded!!

    They got Abec11, Seismic, Landyachtz, NPL, Tracker, and some others...

    I have heard Zombie Board Shop has some stuff, but I am not exactly sure what or how much. It's down in Burnsville, pretty close to Buck Hill. I plan on checking it out soon just to see what all they sell and such.
