GO SKATE!

Skateboarding has come a long way since its humble beginnings in the late 1940s, where it first emerged in California as a way for surfers to practice their moves on land. Over the years, skateboarding transformed from an underground pastime, often deemed illegal or vandalistic, to a globally celebrated sport featured in the Olympics! This evolution underscores the importance of fostering a love for action sports in our youth and communities.
At The Village Board Shop, we are proud to be one of the first skate shops in the South Lake Tahoe area, thriving amidst the changes in the skateboarding industry. As many shops have closed their doors, we remain committed to keeping our doors open, providing a reliable space for skateboarders of all ages. Our community offers exciting opportunities for kids to get involved, including the newly remodeled skateboard park at Bijou Park and the skate house, where local riders can hone their skills and connect with one another. We believe in nurturing a culture that fosters excitement around skateboarding, encouraging everyone to engage in this dynamic sport. Join us at The Village Board Shop and become a part of the passion that drives skateboarding forward in our community. We’re here to support your journey on and off the board, with the gear and knowledge you need to thrive in the skate scene!
