Mission Skateboards

The Mission, Dogpatch & Potrero Hill


Street cred comes easy with locally designed Mission decks, custom tees to kick-flip over and cult skate shoes at this shop owned by SF street-skate legend Scot Thompson. Cool deal: kids who show report cards with GPAs over 3.0 get discounts. This shop is handy to Potrero del Sol/La Raza Skatepark and, for newbies too cool for kneepads, SF General.
