In early 1992 it seemed as though there were very few skateboarders and snowboarders in the world, and even fewer people who respected these activities. All the lawyers closed the skate parks, all the local mountains were on the verge of closing their operations due to lack of interest in Skiing. Our lifestyle of skateboarding and snowboarding was looked down upon by our peers, and we were seen as outcasts.

Frustrated that I had to travel all over Southern California to find any shops that carried only Skate and Snow brands, (not next to rollerblades & boogie boards), I scraped together all the money I could borrow to turn my love and passion for skateboarding and snowboarding into a business. I couldn’t accept the commercialization and lack of interest that other shops showed in this lifestyle any longer. In March of 1993 I opened the doors of Liberty Board Shop, in Brea California.

LIBERTY by definition means; freedom from captivity, slavery, imprisonment, or despotic control by others; the right to do as one chooses.

As the years have passed many people have opened more and more stores, the industry has become bigger and bigger - and what was once original has entered the main stream. I know all of you reading this right now have at one point fallen into the B.S. hype that a lot of shops and companies are filtering into your brains about what is cool or what company is the best. YOU HAVE THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE! I encourage you to use this freedom and support what you think is real. We all live this lifestyle here at LIBERTY and are dedicated to serving the needs of our customers both in the store and online. We warehouse our own entire inventory, and all of the product on the site is live and updated daily. My goal is to bring a hassle free shopping experience with a large display of product choices, thank you for visiting Libertyboardshop.com!

Sincerely,
Matthew Pindroh
Owner/Founder, Liberty Boardshop Inc.
