What You Can Expect from Our Fresh Newcastle Skate Shop

PPS surf is a well-established surf, skate, and merch store on Stockton's main street, and we've just opened a brand-new shop in Newcastle. The friendly staff at both our skateboard shops are all board riders themselves who can advise you on the best level of board for your target style, terrain, and speed.

• PPS surf has more than 20 years of experience in the surf and skateboarding world, and we are bringing all that passion, skill, and knowledge to the table to provide the best products and services possible to the Newcastle crew. Boarders are welcome to bring their destruction and disaster stories, questions, and conundrums to us. If we can't sort you out right away, no one can.
• PPS surf has curated the perfect selection of the newest and best skateboards, skating accessories, and safety equipment. Our range of skateboards has something for every rider's preferences, including skateboards for those who are looking to move from skating to surfing and improve their wave riding. We also stock the right skate helmet and safety pads from brands such as Pro-Tec, Freeride, and Impala for when mum insists.
• We run a loyalty programme at PPS surf, so please ask about it. Every time you shop for beach, surf, and skating essentials with us, we'll get your rewards lined up and ready to redeem. If you are looking for a gift for a board rider or beach babe, we are the right people to talk to and secure some serious gear.

Tips on Choosing the Right Skateboard

If you come down to one of our stores, we can give you advice in person about which skateboard setup and design are right for you. If you're shopping with us online, we can give you our top advice on choosing a complete board without seeing it in person yet:

• Check the length as well as the width of the deck. Often, riders forget the importance of the deck width for their foot size and skating style. A wider skateboard is more stable for beginners, but a narrower board will be more responsive and nimble for tricks and technical skating.
• Focus on the board itself. You can replace or move trucks, wheels, and grip tape. Is the deck the right size for you, and does the shape suit your style of skating? Flatter boards are easier to control and more suitable for long stretches, while concave boards are better for tricks and sharp turns.
• Don't get attached to the graphics unless you are buying the board as decor. Graphics will get scratched and faded no matter how careful you are, even with rail savers. Take lots of pics, and track and relish the damage.
