Happy Skatesgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving season! It's that time of year to reflect with gratitude on the good things that we have in this life. And there is a lot to be thankful for.
For one, we appreciate you for #supportinglocalsmallbusiness and getting your skates and gear from us, allowing us to pay our rent and stay in business. Did you know that we make two years in our current space this month? And we are forever grateful to you for it! Thank you for the support!
We appreciate our friends who have graciously helped us through the last four years, helping us move inventory, set up our popup shops at Lokahi Kailua Market and other places, graciously volunteering their time and skills at our events, and for being some wonderful human beings. Whether you have helped us at every event or just one event, thank you. We appreciate you!
As we celebrate this season of gratitude with gratitude, what are YOU grateful for?
Come by the shop, and we can help you choose the right gear to update your skates and get you ready for all of the Skategiving meetups, parties, and skate events!
Skate fittings are by appointment. Please send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook; or message us at 415-SK808HI (415-758-0844) to schedule a skate fitting for you or that special skater in your life!

Join us for a Slow Roll!
In this season of gratitude as we give thanks for the great weather and the opportunity to skate here in our beautiful island home, join us for a slow roll through Kailua on Saturday, November 23. Meet at the shop at 4pm; we roll out at 4:30pm for an easy casual roll around some beautiful backroads on the Windward side. This is an all-ages rollout for all skill levels.
