About Us
SK8 Clothing is a Canadian online skate shop based in St. John’s, Newfoundland—Canada’s easternmost province and home to one of North America's oldest cities. From our corner of the country, we’ve been delivering top skate gear and apparel to skaters across Canada since 2008.
Our Story
Growing up in Newfoundland, getting core skate brands wasn’t easy. The internet was new, and our only option was mail-order catalogs from the U.S. While they gave us access to the latest skate gear, customer support was nonexistent, and we were always left wanting more.
Fast forward to 2007, and finding an online skate shop in Canada was still a struggle. Ordering from the U.S. was expensive and frustrating, and we knew we weren’t the only ones feeling this way. So in 2008, we launched SK8 Clothing—a shop built by skaters, for skaters.
Our goal? To be your go-to local skate shop—no matter where you are. We know not every town has a core skate shop, so we’re here to bridge the gap and bring the best skate gear straight to you.
Our Core Principles:
Keep Pushing.
More than just skating, it’s a mindset. Keep pushing forward—on your board, in life, and beyond. Push your limits, challenge the norm, and inspire change. Never stop progressing.
Go Beyond Expectations
They say, “You can’t please everyone,” but we like a challenge. While we don’t try to be everything to everyone, we always go the extra mile for our customers. Whether it’s top-tier service, fast shipping, or a little extra in your order, we believe in exceeding expectations and making every shopping experience the best it can be.
Gratitude Always
We know you have choices, and we’re truly grateful that you choose to shop with us. Your support allows us to keep doing what we love—providing the best skate gear and keeping the skate community rolling. We’ll never take that for granted.
Live with integrity.
Talent, success, and skill mean nothing without integrity. We believe in treating our customers, partners, and each other with honesty, respect, and fairness—because how we do business matters just as much as what we sell.
Thanks for taking the time to get to know us! We appreciate you being part of our journey. – The SK8 Clothing Team
