Rip City Skates, Santa Monica’s last real skate shop.
This skate shop is one of the most “OG” skate shops in all of Los Angeles—and it was established in 1978 during the Dogtown years. They are known for only stocking core skateboard products and only consider quality products over mass-produced “Mall Grab” skateboards you can find at Zumiez!!! In addition, it is a family-owned business, so grabbing skate gear from them might be a good way to support the local shops that have been supporting skateboarding way before it became mainstream.
PS: They even make their own brand of beer now in partnership with Santa Monica Brew Works—called the RIP CITY SKATES IPA.
