help with finding a store front

**thatoneblahguy** · 07-09-2009 03:58 PM

my friend and i live in kennewick washington (zip 99337) and we decided to take a day trip to find a longboard store where he can find his first longboard.
we decided to go to daddies board shop but i just found out that it opens at one in the afternoon, and the way things are, we need to find a store that opens up earlier.

are there any other large longboard store fronts within 4 hours of 99337 that open earlier than one?

Most skate shops won't open till the afternoon.The patrons are mostly teens and well they don't wake up til at least two in the aftrenoon(2:00 pm)
Good luck finding one.

Hey,
Check out Rip City Skate also in PDX. The website's having problems, but it shows you some of their selection. They're open 10-7 Monday-Saturday and 11-6 Sunday. Much cooler shop than Daddies. Give them a call (503)445-0844. If you're into downhill no shop has a better selection. For more info check out http://pdxdownhill.darkbb.com/genera...skate-t461.htm

EDIT: Plus that way you have some time to hit up some of sweetass riding spots in Portland. Just ask JP ,the owner, he'll tell you where the switchbacks are.

go with mike on this one, avoid daddies at all costs and go to Rip City. you won't regret it and you'll be supporting people that actually care about skateboarding.

The address, and a map of where it is, are both in that pdxdownhill link in my first post. Sorry, I was probably still editing it when you first read it.
