Edit: changing this to a national thread, please post the shop address and phone number if possible with the URL. I'm going to try and aggregate all of this data into a master document or possibly website. Feel free to DM me with info. This is going to be a large undertaking, I appreciate the help.
The closest real/core skateshop is an hour and a half away from me at least. So I either have to order online, or make a long journey if I need product. I'm totally guilty of ordering from ccs, skatewarehouse, active, and big online shoe stores in the past. In the last 5 years or so, I've put a stop to that and order exclusively from core shops. I would like to aggregate a list of shops with online stores on the east coast to make it easier for people to put money into places that give back to skateboarding. I want to limit this thread to the east coast because I would like to put my money back into the areas I will be skating. I hope others will start to do the same. Please only post shops that have skate events, sponsor locals, and give back to skateboarding. The mega sale thread of big box stores was my motivation for this. And I couldn't help but think that none of those sites need anymore promotion. I'm going to start with the ones I frequent the most, this is in no way a complete list. Please make additions as necessary.

Idk if I would classify Michigan as east coast. After starting this thread I thought about how cool it would be to have like a mega thread divided into mini threads for each state. I feel like that would be a super useful tool. I'm not a mod though, I'm not sure how to go about that. Can we get a mod in here?

This place has to be drop shipping or something. There's no way they actually have 77 pages of decks in stock. Pricing is weird too, seems like it's using an algorithm.
I've ordered from places like that before and it took almost a month for my box to come and when it did it was missing a deck. Had to go through my bank to get refunded because the shop just ignored all communications. Not saying it's going to be the same thing there, but I'm really wary of ordering from places like that now.

My biggest gripe for most shop's online presence is that they only list the width of decks and only have a stock image of the board, leaving me to guess what the overall shape might be like or look for the board elsewhere with more details on measurements etc. It's 2020, I want to see the shape from the top, the side, and I want to know the length, wb, nose/tail measurements. If smaller shops want to compete with the likes of SW/Tactics, they need to make better sites and be less lazy about including specs that idiots like myself obsess over.

Give them a call. Customer service is where core shops will always win. I guarantee any shop will be more than happy to answer questions over the phone. And also, managing a website/inventory is a full-time job in itself. Most shops only have a few employees. Give them some slack, for all they give back.

All good dude! Maybe you should start a thread for a central region? Idk, it's not a big deal at all. I just wanted to keep the list concise. Thanks though.

Nocturnal and Kinetic have merged... not sure in what capacity. I don’t live in Philly anymore.

This is a dope thread.
Thank you.
This is the antidote to people talking about their ‘haul’ from ‘daddy’s boardshop’ or wherever they went. Gluttony really gets me fired up apparently.

I feel you man, that's why I made this. I'm considering making this into something bigger, much bigger.

Online shops, please add at least length and wheelbase to all decks.
Also if you follow a shop online and they post stuff almost all of them will ship if you give them a call.

agreed. This was mentioned earlier - about amount of time needed for upkeep for a shop mgr to run the shop and online store.
I figure just a DM should do the trick if I’m curious about that.
Even at my local I gotta take out the tape measure to see after the employees aren’t sure off the top of their head.

What I usually do is use tactics/spot/socal as sort of a reference for that info if I'm curious about a deck but I always take it with a grain of salt because they can be wrong. The company's site is the best place to find out the specs if they list them.
I'm not going to get mad at these little shops for not having detailed info. A lot of these places struggle to just keep the doors open and unfortunately they aren't going to have the time/budget/knowledge to create and maintain a detailed web store most of the time.
Also not sure if it's already been listed and it's not exactly east coast but this place always deserves a mention

Can’t stress how sick the owner is. Give him your money. I think he’s doing a sale too if you check his story on IG

He also only stocks boards he'd actually ride himself (and he has good taste), which I think is super cool. If a company uses shit wood he won't carry it.
I bought a couple scumco decks off him a while back and we got to talking about our shared affinity for the brand. A little while later I ordered one of his shop decks and when I opened the box he had thrown in a FucOff skate stopper removal kit for free, and he always throws in the latest issue of skate jawn.
Not that I, or anyone else, should expect free shit from him but I just wanted to share that to drive home the kind of dude he is. He actually puts spreading the joy of skateboarding and quality products ahead of profit and I really respect that. Also the shop boards are sick - Pennswood with a 14.25 wb and a slight taper on both ends.

You’re not wrong. Just that I’m always worried I’m annoying the piss out of them with my incredibly specific/stupid questions.

I don’t live on the east coast but I definitely will use this thread as a place to order from when I need cant go local. This thread is an awesome idea.
Someone should compile this info into a thread like the wood shop thread and have all east coast list a Midwest and west coast kinda how the wood shop thread has a BBS PS Stix etc column/list
I hope 2020 is the start of putting money back in skateboarding and not kooky mail orders and Nike

If you don't act like a total kook I'm sure they won't mind at all. Shops aren't usually slammed with business. They'll have time to answer questions if it gets them a sale.

That was kinda what I was thinking, like if there was a "shops with online stores thread" and once you opened it there was a thread for every state containing this list. I considered making this into a whole website too. With like a map that you could zoom in/out and shops would be pinned all over.

Kinetic has co-owned Nocturnal since 2013. Merging the websites makes inventory a lot easier to track.

been toying around with an idea similar to this.
was gonna make this a separate thread but whatever - one thing i noticed while collecting shop info is how lacking many of these shops are when it comes to their online store front - if they even have one.
So many shops just have a facebook page, or a static html site which hasnt been updated probably since it first went up.
I know there are factors, such as money being tight already, so how exactly do you fund someone to update the shop site with inventory in stock?
The only other reason i can think of, is that stock is turned over so quickly that its not worth the time to put it on the site? this would be a good thing for that shop, but i doubt all shops have this issue.
Interested in any shop owners or employees opinion on this

I would be willing to bet that most shops don't have an automatic inventory system that updates when things are sold. It's probably mostly done by hand, individually. And just managing that inventory would be a full time job. Let alone, managing the rest of the website. I'm sure the vast majority of shops just don't have the resources to support all that. But they might be motivated to improve that if they started seeing more online business. And they might start seeing more online business if we could get this list together. Idk sort of a long shot, but at the very least it would be a helpful resource for skaters. I have a background in tech, and I have a couple developer friends, I think I'm going to start looking into this. Let's keep gathering shops/sites in this thread for the time being.

Beyond just the time involved, I'm not trying to be snarky here but a lot of shop owners aren't exactly well educated and probably don't know a whole hell of a lot about technology let alone running a well maintained and tracked e-commerce/inventory system. It's getting better as easy to use systems like shopify and bigcartel have caught on but that brings another issue in that a lot of shop sites aren't super professional and well made so integrating any e-commerce package into them is probably not easy. It's probably easier to start from scratch and that's a tough pill to swallow if you just paid someone to make you a site a year or two ago.
I'd love for every site to be like premier or FA skates or aegir or any of the other sites that are well done and make it easy but just being realistic I think we're still some time away from that truly being standard.

I agree. I think this could help spark a change though. Keep dumping sites/shops in this thread. I'm gonna reach out to my web developer friends today and see how difficult this would be. My one buddy would probably love to help me with this.

My biggest gripe for most shop's online presence is that they only list the width of decks and only have a stock image of the board, leaving me to guess what the overall shape might be like or look for the board elsewhere with more details on measurements etc. It's 2020, I want to see the shape from the top, the side, and I want to know the length, wb, nose/tail measurements. If smaller shops want to compete with the likes of SW/Tactics, they need to make better sites and be less lazy about including specs that idiots like myself obsess over.
Fuck yes. I've become quite fond of particular shapes and dimensions. I can't get too far out of my comfort zone.

Agnarnomous was my first SLAP account.
I still have all the data for the map i made saved on my computer.

I just didnt feel like paying the hosting fee.
If anyone feels like maintaining this map and paying the hosting fees I will gladly give them the file.
It should be easy enough to upload into any map maker and continue where i left off.
I forget the exported file type, but its apparently pretty standard. I can look at it when i get to my home pc.
edit: honestly, i could probably handle it myself. i feel like this is more worthwhile now that parade world is gone.
