..Amsterdam? Hmmm when my friends go there each year the all talk about bringing stuff back. I think it was mostly hookers and drugs. They are non-skaters though.

There aren't any specific longboard shops in amsterdam. However there are a couple of skateshops. Independent Outlet, who also sells some longboard stuff, Toms skateshop, The old man and a couple more! There's some cool skateparks too! The Marnix bowl, a park on the museumplein and a couple more.

Greetz,

Your best bet is to order at sickboards.nl, they can ship within the Netherlands in two days tops.
Or Longboardshop.de they carry pogo, or concretewave.de, Heiko is very friendly and ships wiith UPS 24h to the Netherlands if you want.
There is the house of lifestyle, and RDLFS besides the ones mentioned, but none carries much stock.
