Five Points Skate & Snowboards

Big Dave hooked it up. I got my first Tony Hawk in 87 when Five Points was next to Baskin Robbins. Decades later, I got my first new skate in 20+ years. Shop and skate local. This Place is where you should go for all your skateboard needs. I’ll be back as my kids upgrade needs increase.

These guys are A OK in my book. Great guys. Lots of knowledge. The guy Dave and Frank give you free history tours about skateboarding. Thanks for keeping my long board in shape after all these years

Solid shop. Still going after all these years.
Good people.

OLDEST SKATEBOARD shop in the VC! Found on Ventura’s Main St. close to «Five Points,» it’s celebrating 30 years in the biz this year, & frontman Dave has been doing this thang for 25 of those years. Cool bloke, too.
My munchkin has been asking for a deck for a while and earned it when he scored his first soccer/​futbol goal ever (Watch out now, PROUD Papa moment!)! Now I got this promise hanging over my head that I am incessantly reminded about, doh! (Yes, son, I remember. Yes! Yup! You BECHA!). As we’re rushing to the next kids’ activity, my Munchkin’s eagle eyes spot their completely obscure storefront, and blasts, «LOOKIT! LOOKIT, Papa!» I had no idea what he was flippin’ out over but after a quick U-​eee, this old man gets the «A-​hah!» moment. Full on excitement as we park & stroll in. It’s somewhat dingy inside actually, like the classic man cave supposed to be, but lots of skateboard stuff to peep out. Dave gives us a friendly greeting & doesn’t pressure us in any way as we browse. I surf & snowboard, but I was never into skateboarding, and truly clueless on what was in front of me, so it was nice to pick Dave’s brain on the ins & outs on this «Build A Board» thang ;)
For this young buck, I’m lookin’ for a starter deck, and with all the options available, we ended up getting hooked up with a house deck (equal quality, cheaper price). Their softest wheels here are 78a, and we got wide cruiser wheels too, HOPEFULLY to limit that risk of «death pebble» flip. Store trucks have a really good warranty and stuck with those. Multiple options for grip tape, and it’s set up with a smile & out the door in under 30 minutes! Thanks Dave!

A couple of months ago I bought my first longboard. I knew soon after I bought it (at a big box sporting goods store) I realized that I needed help.
I stopped in Five Points and the guy was really cool. He installed new bushings for me (originals turned out to be hard plastic) and some solidly awesome elbow pads. He got me all hooked up. He was very cool at answering my (re-​newby) questions.
I’ve since been back and bought new Sector-​9 wheels and new bearings as well.
A great place for a new or hardcore skater.

My nephew, Jack, was visiting for a week this summer. He brought his skateboard, we took him down to Ventura State Beach to ride. His board was sad compared to my man’s new Sector Nine, so set it aside and took turns riding the newer board instead. Since Jack will be 13 in a few weeks, we decided to remedy the situation. I asked around for recommendations and was directed to Five Points. When I called, they answered all of my questions politely and promptly. The next day, I took Jack in. The shop is a teenage boy’s dream! He picked out the board he wanted (a Sector Nine), along with trucks, and wheels for under $ 140. Then he generously offered his younger sister his old board, so we choose new bearings and wheels for it as well for under $ 40. I walked out with two very happy kids. Thanks Five Points!

The staff (Dave) was so helpful, professional, knowledgeable. This is the same store I bought mine over 25 years ago. They helped my son pick out his first skateboard, awesome. 95 bucks.

Small shop, with good selection on boards. Went in to buy a long board for my son. Neither he nor I know much about them, but the guys were more than willing to answer questions and make recommendations.
We went to a second store to look at boards and ended up going back to Five Points to make our purchase. My son picked the components he wanted and they put it together for him in a few minutes.
The price was fair and comparable to other places that we have looked.
After trying my son’s board, I went back and bought one for myself. Good service earns my repeat business.

About a month ago I took a long board I had sitting in my garage for a year. My 4 year old daughter and I walked in asked one of the gents working there who could help me set up my board and guy behind the counter said he would be right with me. Walked around the shop with my kid as we waited to be helped. My turn comes up and the gent asked how can I help you. I showed him my board and he knew exactly what I needed. Very very knowledgeable and super helpful. Set me up with new trucks, sector 9 wheels and grip tape. Haven’t been on a board for about 25 years but man this one rides like a cloud through the sky. Super smooth and a total cruiser. He put everything together in about 10 min tops. Review is long over due and I highly recommend this shop. Very cool guys in there with a wide selection of goods.
Extremely helpful and prices can’t be beat.
A true Ventura Gem. Going back soon to buy a board for my daughter. Very very happy with my board
Keep up the great service.

A skateboarding landmark for Ventura County. Five points has been serving Ventura for over 30 years. I remember going there when I was a little kid and remember the manager, Dave, always being there. Super down-​to-​earth dude, the shop wouldn’t be the shop without him. Plus all of the other guys who work there are super rad. Everyone who works there are actual skaters too, so they understand skateboarding much better than your typical mall shop employee. They’ve got a good selection of products with reasonable prices. Whether you need to grab a new deck or simply wanna take a break from the hot sun and watch a skate video, Five Points is the place to do it.

the only skate shop to go to in ventura.
historical spot.
great people.
yeah dave!

All i have are good things to say about this place. Been coming here since i was a little tiny kid and have grew up around the shop and the guys here (Dave, Brad, Rueben, Lawrence, Frank, etc). The only REAL skate shop in Ventura. If you need anything that involves skateboarding or snowboards, come here. Support your local shop!!!

Nice skateshop to pick up some skate parts. I play derby, so it’s a great place to come try on some helmets or safety pads. If you are looking for roller skates or other gear, you’ll have to head to Skating Plus or down to Wicked in LA.

This is the model for how a store should be. I grew up in Ventura, and these guys (Dave, Frank, Burrito etc) were like idols to us skate rats — super cool too. Many a day was spent in between skate spots watching whatever video was on the store television, trying on shoes (that we couldn’t possibly afford), and even borrowing videos from their library just because they were cool like that. This place is full of good people with expertise and a friendly touch when it comes to customer service. Forget any other chain store, this is the real deal.

Best costumer service !! These guys know what they are doing, nice people, best prices, and great for pros and nubes !! Best skate shop in Ventura by far !

Happened into this store last week with my son who was up from Santa Cruz visiting. He was getting ready to go on a snowboard trip and we stopped in to look for some boots. Everything was on sale and we ended up getting new boots and a jacket for him, all for under $ 200.00! The boots alone are worth over 200 since they are a great brand. The staff was very nice and helpful. This shop is great and will definately go back.

Legit shop in Ventura, CA. I’m a surfer not a skater. Some legit shops will make you feel like a kook if you aren’t in the IN crowd. Well not this place. They hooked my up with an awesome old school Caballero set-​up. I walked outta there like a stoked grommet ready to go shred the skate parks! Highly recommend this place for all your sk8 and snowboard needs. Always great to support a local shop like this one that gets it right!

This place has been here for a long time… and I still love this place. I bring my boards here many times to get awesome service at cheap prices. One time, my friend lost a bolt to her snowboard bindings and they replaced it with another one free of cost! Awesome. she didn’t even buy the board here. The people here know their stuff and are very helpful.
They are know for skate/​snow boards and gear. I like how they have their own shop shirts/​sweaters/​boards. I like how they still put a mannequin out in the front of their shop. Its like a «were open» sign, but with style. I hope this shop never goes out of business.

I just got my old beat up board «tuned up» there and the staff were friendly and helpful. Not at all pushy salesmen. They have rentals and they service boards (for great deal). I would shop and buy boots and boarding clothes if I had the money right now but that just have to wait…
They seemed to have a great assortment and with a very reasonable price. I would recommend this shop to anyone who’s looking for skate or snowboard gear. They don’t have ski though, just FYI.
Parking on the street in front or small parking spot available behind the shop as well. If you’ve never been there it’s a little hard to find since they don’t have a big signage. Just remember it’s right by Baskin Robbins.

Ventura’s only REAL skate shop. They carry all the goods you need from skate gear and apparel to snowboard this and that. These guys took damn good care of me and all my friends when we we little fucking kids. They won’t try to sell you shit you don’t need. They wont act like they know their shit, whilst lying thru their teeth… because they know their shit! This is one of the biggest problems i’ve seen: non-​skateboarders trying to run a skateboard shop. That’s like trying to eat peanut butter without jelly… uh.
The guys at five points may:
check out your mom
bust your balls
make jokes at your expense
But they’ll also make you laugh while doing so. Five points cares about skateboarding and about the future of Ventura County. If you need to get hooked up, look no further.
If you see White Sands in the yellow pages under «skateboarding,» be sure to cross that shit out with a black permanent marker and never mention their name again (if they still exist that is).
