Motion Boardshop is the place to go for all of your longboarding needs! Longboarding has been a hobby of mine since childhood, but I took a ten year hiatus, and needed to start from scratch on a new setup. I also wanted to introduce my partner to the sport. Nate, the owner, helped us each pick out the right setup for us individually, explaining every intricate detail of what each component does and how it affects your cruise. I initially came with the intention of buying a much more expensive setup, and he led me to the perfect setup for my needs which was much more affordable. Motion Boardshop also has a HUGE selection of unique, locally manufactured decks and components, which are all top tier in quality. We will definitely be back when we are ready to start the more expensive board sport...

Epic education from Michael at Motion. Was our first experience buying a custom board and the walk-through and patient guidance was amazing. Location was great too, just behind U Village with ample parking. Michael will be our go-to as we upgrade and get new boards.

By far the best longboard shop in Seattle! Motion boardshop carries difficult to find specialized items, in stock, and has loads of knowledge to back it up! Great shop, great people, and a community focus. What more could you ask for? Plus they all shred!!!

I've always wanted to take my 5 year old daughter to a Skateshop for the first time and she needed a new helmet while I needed a new cruising setup. We originally went to hit up Black Market on Aurora they weren't open during their normal business hours so I called up Motion and spoke to Michael. He was immediately helpful and told us to come by. At the shop, Michael answered all my questions no matter how many I had and made me and my daughter feel welcome the entire time. We picked up a cruising board complete and a helmet and we couldn't be any more stoked. Thanks Michael!

We came to Motion Board Shop in winter and custom built a board with these guys’ expertise. What started off as a noob build ended up being the best build. And we were made smart on why the board changed along the way.This past weekend my son was able to spend a lot of time on that board and his skills grew. He was able to understand the whys of the build and his experience became more enjoyable.I can’t thank Motion Board Shop enough. It was fun building the board while learning about the shop. And even more to see my son get busy on his new board.Go build a board for yourself or someone you love and give the greatest outdoor experience.

Just went in and bought my first board! The worker was super nice, funny, was super honest, and gave good advice. He let me try a bunch of boards and I think I found the right one. Basically in love with my new board and I will be going there for any other skating needs!

If you are looking to buy a board or bindings or have any questions about riding, this is the spot. They are super helpful and assist in finding the right board for what you’re looking for. Will be going here every time for any snowboarding need.

Nate (the owner) is fantastic, he's not in it for the money, he's in it to bring more people into boarding. Great advice, great listening skills, cheap rental gear (50ish for 3 days).

Nate and Mike make a snowboard, longboard, boot, binding, sock, goggle or even a damn face mask buying experience top notch. They'll always have some good on TV, and it's just a legit place to hang out

Highly recommend this shop for online sales. I imagine the expierence is only better if you can shop in person.Their pricing is on par with everyone else, stock always seems to be good, and they get your stuff sent out quickly which is nice.The real kicker for me is that they answer the phone and give informed, usefull advice about longboard products and setup. Longboard setup and variation between similar products can be such a rabbit hole to go down on the internet (even if you have an idea of the specific ride feel you're after) and the helpful staff make it much easier to make an informed decision on what to buy

Be weary of ordering online and using any coupons with them. They had a coupon proudly displayed in Google Shopping, so I used it to pick up a new board for the season and 30 min later they cancelled my order because "the deal was too good and for team riders only". There are tons of other online shops to order from that A) honor the prices they sell things to their customers for B) have better deals. No reason to shop with this shady place.Edit: their response doesn’t contradict anything I said. They advertised a coupon on Google, which I used, then they cancelled my order for using it. Bait and switch. Their efforts to blame me, the customer, for their “mistake” should tell you what you need to know.Also, if they “don’t know” how the coupon ended up on Google, then why would you ever want to give your credit card info to them? Sketchy all around and there are too many good shops to deal with this place.

Michael helped me out with some new wheels for my board and was super nice. He talked about several different models in detail and we finally settled on something that's a great option for me. I'll be coming back! :)

Stopped in tonight to get replacement wheels for our son's skateboard. John Eric couldn't have been nicer! He was so helpful, took the time to educate us on what we were getting, and quickly popped on the new wheels. All the while, he was also very kind to our son. Thanks so much!

I wouldn't even be into longboarding or have gone as far as I have without them. Between the free slide classes every week, and the expertise help on setting up my bushings and trucks, I've gotten three times better performance out of my boards. With purchases that are so dependent on feel and ride preference you can't beat a location like this ^_^
