Stopped in for the first time to buy bearings. Great shop, great vibe, friendly and helpful. Definitely making this place my regular shop.
The people who work here really care about skating and are very knowledgeable. The store owner Zack actually took the time to trouble shoot with my board which I really appreciated. I had been having problems with my bushings for months and rather than just selling me bushings that might not work he tested out different bushings on my trucks until he found a combination that felt good to me. I haven’t been living in Bham for that long but I already know this is gonna be the only skate shop I go to
Great customer service! Wish they had more longboard stuff, but I’m from out of state so the scene seems to be skate oriented.
Zac is the coolest dude. So chill. So friendly and knowledgeable. The only place you need to go to get a board.
I got a board there that Craig had to build for me, so he was able to get me into some of the finest Peralta Snakes on a Krooked board with some clear mob tape and acoupla 144s from Independent. This is a great skate shop that folks just stop into and hang out. It was really a great experience!!!
Super nice people, helped me pick out trucks, barrings, wheels, and tips for the board. Named some good skate spots in town
Took our daughter there today (never boarded before) for a long board. The guy helping us was awesome! Explained things well and even taught her how to start to ride (correct footing etc) . I would recommend this place any day. Will take our son back on his birthday for a new skateboard.
The people there are very very nice and helped me pick out, assembled the board very cool people also taught me the basic of how to skate!
This place was open. Friendly staff, inviting but not hovering. Tons of choices w good variety of boards, trucks, wheels etc. There are also lots of clothing to choose from so you can look good too. I believe they had COALPAD t-shirts and now I regret not purchasing one. Clean shop as well as street outside. Items professionally displayed. Location seems safe, good parking w lots of other stuff nearby. Definitely returning here.
Awesome guys. I was getting a gift for someone and they were a huge help, which I needed because everything I know about skateboarding I learned from Tony Hawks Pro Skater 20 years ago. Didnt even laugh at me when I said trucks. Highly recommend.
Go here for all your skate needs in Bellingham! Went in not knowing what I needed and I was so impressed with Craig. He was friendly and knowledgeable. He got me hooked up with what I needed and put my setup together in a flash. He told us where to go skate in the area and made the experience so personal. Girls can skate too. Ill be back and wish service like this wasnt so hard to come by, give that guy a raise! :)
Where the cool kids go to get their wood.
Super friendly shop. Got the kids first boards here, will definitely be back!
I brought my son there to buy his first skateboard today. Awesome experience, super knowledgeable. Great customer service. I ended up buying myself a board also. I would highly recommend this shop!
Im just an aunt that needed a gift for someone 🙂They were so nice and helpful! Great selection!!
Called mid week to confirm if open on Sunday, employee said yes 12-5pm. Website said the same. My daughter and I drove up from Anacortes this last Sunday to a closed store. Left a voicemail and I’ve yet received a call back. This was going to be my daughters first skate board. Thankfully a competitor was open and took great care of us. They also shed some light on how Unknown operates...or doesn’t.
They provided excellent customer service and were able to help my five year pick out perfect board for her. Highly recommend this shop.
Great people, and a great shop
Classic skate shop experience. Zac, Craig and the rest know skateboarding better than most. They support the local scene and local artists. Good selection and service.
Waited along time to get a board from Unknown now its time to dust off the old trick repertoire.
Im pretty new to skating and the fellow at Unknown Boardshop was very nice and helpful for me getting a new board. Even let me use his little practice board while he was putting it together!
Wonderful staff and fantastic atmosphere in the store. Not only is the staff knowledgeable about the boards they sell but what you can do with their products as well. If you need advice on what tricks to try first or where to shred it up just ask. They have a wide variety of products and a very customer friendly shop. Never again order from online stores, whenever you have skate needs this is the place to go! To veteran skate boarders to beginners this shop can help anyone who ventures into, the Unknown Board Shop.
Hands down the best local board shop. Not only are they totally amazing, they support our local youth! A must if you have anyone into the skate scene!
Way better than zumiez!
These guys were super nice teaching me about how boards work. They taught me how to ride in the store before I even bought anything. I got a really nice custom made board from them. Ill have you know, someone drove an SUV over that thing today and it didnt even bend. not a single scratch or crack in it whatsoever. The SUV drove over the board just like a rock. Superb boards for a superb shop. Definitely recommend stopping by.
Graham is a real nice dude! Live about 30-45 minutes away, but still go there if I need to get some new gear. Super great shop, and the owner is a fantastic guy! His knowledge is top shelf!
They are super friendly. No scooters though.
Cant say enough about this shop and these guys! The service, support and knowledge is top notch. They have the gear you want available with awesome local options as well as popular whats HOT brands and if they dont have it...theyll get it for you. Supporting a local board shop is easy to do even if its a 90 minute drive. Shouldnt be an Unknown shop...but it is a sick name! :)
Not from the local area, and needed new skate shoes with ankle support. The employee working was the owner, who made sure I left with the right shoe. Good conversation to be had if youre ever around. Good dudes, clean shop.
Always go there for deals on decks that got harvested for the trucks. My kids have some sick skates because this shop has their own line of boards. Consider me a collector.
The owner is so cool. He helps you find the right size. You can pick the ones that are already put together or you can pick a deck then pick the trucks the bearings etc. But overall it is definitely a five star shop.
Awesome store and a Wonderful owner!
Expect a fantastic experience here. The ower has been skating since the early 80s and is still an avid skater who sponsors a local team. The prices are more than fair and the staff couldnt be friendlier. Very welcoming environment with room to try out boards.
This Board shop Rocks. And the people here are extremely helpful with a load of knowledge, whether you can really rip it up or if your just getting started these guys are genuine and really love to see you and your family getting into boarding, whether its long boards or short boards these guys are extremely knowledgeable about it all and tend to really take their time to explain any questions you might have. I highly recommend you stop in and check it out for yourself. ..
I was impressed. The guys are easy to talk to and were willing to switch and swap just about anything I wanted on a complete board that definitely cost less than I expected. It was a present for my son and he loves it!
Bought two boards here great prices and the staff knows alot about boards. Plus they are cool people. Oh... if you go there check out their socks!
This place is soooo great! Zach is the best! Just bought a board today and he let me try out a bunch of different boards and taught me a bunch of useful stuff cause Im a beginner. Only place to buy a good board with fantastic service!!!!
Real old school skate shop . Guys cool.lots of shoes!
Zac the owner is a really cool dude and the shop is great!
This place is brewing up a piping hot pot of stoke for the skateboard community. tons of inventory and a beyond welcoming, helpful staff. recommend!
Absolutely the best service Ive ever had walking into any store. Any time I need equipment I go and see Zach Before I go anywhere else.
Great Company Zac is the nicest person
Perfect for pros and beginners. Staff is always willing to help out anyone who walks in.
This place is the place to be! Very helpful and extremely friendly! I wouldnt go any other place! Family-friendly!
Great custom board experience! Real classic skate shop no bull.
Great community here. shop is dog friendly if you ask. Expert knowledge will get you squared away with what you need, lots of helemts, pads, skate clothes, and skateboard accesories. What you need not in stock? Be Ready to order exactly what you want if something is out of size or or OCD like me and need 3 of the same obscure shaped deck. A shop with employees that maintain a local presence at Bellingham skatepark, which seams to hold some debate in the skate community. Find them on instagram staying relevant with fresh local clips. Vibe is mellow, you could kill an hour here to get out of the rain and watch a skate video or come for the epic art installations on Art walk nights. waiting for a group to hit the parking garages or film an edit maybe a common scene. Pretty much Cheers where everybody knows your name, or at least your dogs
Best board shop north of Seattle. For skaters by skaters.
Owner is a super rad dude. He helped me find the right deck and customize it with stickers and a custom grip tape job. If you are looking for a skate shop in Bellingham look no further.
Zack has his heart and soul in skateboarding. Full of advice, encouragement, and knowledge of the history of skateboarding, he is the one to talk to if you skate
Awesome and knowledgeable staff. Pricing is fair and the aesthetic is well done.
I love this store!
Core skateshop in downtown bellingham, super nice dudes.
Pretty cool place, lots of good prices and clothes.
Amazing owner and staff. A staple of downtown Bellingham.
The owner had an awesome line up of custom decks that was well worth checking out.
Great customer service, sick shop.
I am new to skateboarding and Zac is the absolute best! He kept throwing random boards at me and let me try practically everything until I was satisfied with a board. I was taught the basic stance, weight-balance, and small maneuvers for an hour before deciding on a board. They can also build a complete based off parts of your choice, and practically everything can be customisable based off your preference (color/grip-tape style, etc.). Dont see anything you like? They will order it for you!Unfortunately for me, I happened upon the shop on a weekend familys visit to the states (Im Canadian), and lacked research prior to stepping in, hence leaving empty handed. Had this not been the case, Id had definitely made a purchase here, both to my satisfaction and to support this local skate shop. GOOD ON YOU ZAC!
Great selection. Love these guys.
Support local! super good selection and very knowlegable, stop in for a board or just to get pointed to the good spots!
The bham spot for bham shredders meng
Superb skateboard shop! Best service, best gear.
Friendly, fun, and good selection!
Great staff and good prices.
Great place for all things skate.
They are very friendly, helpful and enthusiastic
More skate than clothing.

Its what a skate shop should be!
Cool owner
