Ridin' High Skate Shop in Burlington, Vermont

History

In 1962, the surf shop "Val-Surf" in Hollywood became the first skate shop when they carried the first self-produced skateboards. These boards, sold complete, featured a surfboard shape and roller skate trucks.[3]

Professional skateboarder Jeff Grosso referred to skate shops as "Jedi temples for skateboarding".[4]
