Haven’t gotten our boards looked at in two years, never done the tuneups myself. Considering going to BOB HQ, A&L, or possibly Source for Sports. There’s no skate shops in town. Or looking for someone to teach me to do it.

I have been looking to buy a longboard but can't find any shop in Brandon that sells them. Was told A&L would be the most likely. Is there actually no shops that sell longboards?

Yeah Brandon doesn’t have any good skate shops that I know of. You can buy cheap airwalk ones at Canadian Tire and Walmart, but there don’t seem to be any good board shops. I would check A&L, I think BOB HQ has some but I’m not sure they could just be pennies. If you can’t find any good ones in Brandon, can always check billabong, quicksilver and west 49 in Wpg. They don’t sell anything super great but it’s better than nothing. Source for sports might have as well.

They don't service them there, but they have all the parts plus completes. I have seen Zflex, Rayne, and Santa Cruz longboards there.

Check out Scam Skate in Winnipeg. They sell boards, parts, and can help you with a tune up. They even make custom boards!! Great company. Check them out. They have a website. scamskate.com. Ask for Gavin. 204-504-6227
