Norse City Board Room — Local services in Poulsbo

I’ve come here a few times and the atmosphere is so welcoming and friendly, the employees here greeted me right away, and when I told them I was looking to buy a longboard they helped me look through them all and told me about the pros and cons of the different options there were, and had no problems with letting me try a few out. The service was extremely helpful and educational even, which I really appreciated since this was my first time getting a board and I didn’t know a lot about them. They also let me put the longboard I picked out on hold for a few days till I got my paycheck and was ready to pay for it with no issues. Today when I came back with my dog to get new wheels the employees recognized me from when I was there a couple months ago, and offered my dog a treat. When I told them I accidentally ruined the original wheels by leaning my board against a heater, which caused one to melt and become deformed, they were super sympathetic and kind to me about it. They were happy to take out the old wheels and replace them with new ones they helped me pick out, and offered to do it for me, which was such a relief because I don’t have the right tools to do it myself. I was even offered a discount when I was paying because they felt bad about what happened (despite it being my fault)

Whenever I’ve stopped by I’ve never felt any sort of judgement from anyone there for not being quite as experienced or educated as other customers might be, or for doing something stupid like ruining my wheels shortly after getting them. I’ve always had the opposite experience, the people here are so kind and helpful and seem to genuinely enjoy what they’re doing and want to help you.

I absolutely love the longboard that I bought from here, I’ve used it for a few months now and all of the different components are of great quality and show no signs of wearing down anytime soon. I enjoy riding my longboard much more than a few of the ones that my friends let me try, and I’ve received a few compliments on it when I’m out riding or from people I know. Overall, whether you’ve been skating for a long time or just now starting, I definitely recommend visiting here. The service and help I get from this shop is so much nicer than just ordering what you need from...

Manufacturer of some of the decks was on site, had some beautiful stuff. Gluefoot Skateboards, Greg Provasnik. Pressed one-at-a-time for quality shape, these things are bulletproof. Staff carefully assembled the board to my weird specs while my dog sat quietly in the corner (and only tried to steal the leftover food behind the counter twice). Grip tape was expertly-applied, trucks and wheels thrown on and the thing was ready for abuse. Gluefoot deck with tape, Royal Trucks and good ol’ Spitfire 97s with Bronson machines, fully-assembled for under $200 and a free shirt! Best board I’ve ever had, and the dog likes it, too. This thing is an...

This skateshop is awesome. I wish this kind of shop was around when I was growing up. Kelly is super knowledgeable and loves skateboarding more than anything and it shows. They have a rad fingerboard park right in the store and they sell fingerboard obstacles and boards made by local crafters. They carry an awesome assortment of local company boards as well as all the best brands you can find.

There is a ton of love for skateboarding at this shop and its being run right. Great place for clothes and shoes too so make sure you check it out when you're in Poulsbo taking in the awesome viking scenery. These guys are the coolest...
