Looking for a Beginner friendlySkateboardShop in Rochester, NY? Start at Krudco
If you’re thinking about getting into skateboarding, or you’re a parent trying to figure out what skateboard to buy for your kid, walking into a skateshop can be a little intimidating.
It shouldn’t be.
At Krudco Skateshop in Rochester, NY, we’ve spent decades skateboarding, selling skateboards, setting up boards, breaking boards, trying different products and helping people figure out what actually works for them.
We’re not just people who sell skateboards. We’re skateboarders.
A Rochester NY SkateShop Built on Experience
Krudco has been part of the Rochester, NY skateboarding community since 1994. That means we’ve watched generations of skateboarders come through our doors — including a whole lot of people buying their very first skateboard.
That experience matters.
There are thousands of skateboard products online, and when you’re new to skating, it’s hard to know what you actually need. What size skateboard should you ride? What wheels are best? Do you need expensive trucks? Is that cheap complete skateboard good enough? What size board should you buy for a child?
We can help answer those questions based on real-world skateboarding experience, not just whatever a product description says.
Beginner Skateboarders Are Welcome Here
One thing we want people to understand about Krudco is that you do not need to be good at skateboarding to come into our skateshop.
You don’t even need to know anything about skateboarding.
If you walk into Krudco and tell us, “I have no idea what I’m doing, but I want to start skateboarding,” that’s completely fine.
Actually, we love that.
Everyone who has ever been good at skateboarding was a beginner at some point.
Our job is to help you get the right equipment, answer your questions and get you rolling without trying to make skateboarding more complicated than it needs to be.
Parents: and grandparents: We Can Help You Too
We know buying a skateboard for your kid can be confusing.
There are different deck widths, trucks, wheels, bearings, completes, brands and price points. Then you go online and get hit with a million different opinions.
Bring your kid into Krudco Skateshop in Rochester NY and talk to us.
We can help figure out the right skateboard based on their age, size, experience, where they plan on skating and your budget.
We would rather help someone buy the right skateboard than sell them something they don’t need.
That’s one of the biggest advantages of buying your first skateboard from an experienced, locally owned skate shop instead of blindly ordering one online.
Our Knowledge Comes From Actually Skateboarding and we are parents too.
There’s a big difference between knowing skateboard products and knowing skateboarding.
At Krudco, our knowledge comes from decades of actually being involved in skateboarding.
We know what works because we skate. We talk to skateboarders every day. We see what products people come back for, what lasts, what breaks and what different types of skaters prefer.
And if we don’t know something, we’ll tell you.
That experience-backed knowledge is something we take seriously, especially when helping someone choose their first skateboard.
Don’t Just Take Our Word for It
We’re also extremely proud of the 5-star Google reviews Krudco has received from our customers.
Those reviews mean a lot to us because they come from the people who actually walk through our doors — local skateboarders, parents, beginners, longtime customers and people visiting Rochester.
We want someone buying their first skateboard to get the same respect and attention as someone who has been skating for 20 years.
That’s what a real skate shop should be.
