Skateshops in and around Dallas
Index Skateboard Supply (Dallas)
Index is locally owned and operated by lifelong skateboarders.
Established in 2004, Index was founded on one premise: skateboarding and skateboarding only. Of course we carry all of the latest products, but our belief is that a true skate shop should be more than just a store. Index was created as a community center for skateboarders; a place to congregate, make friends and learn the culture that is skateboarding
Rhythm Skate Shop (Grand Prairie)
Carries boards from DFW area pros including Will Cortez and Dakota Camp.
The Point Skate Shop (Fairview, TX)
Come to The Point and find what we call Full Service Skateboarding. Choose from a wide selection of boards, trucks, wheels, shoes, apparel, and anything else you need to stay rolling. Grab a sesh or take lessons on our 1500SF indoor wooden bowl. The Point is a place where everybody knows your name and you're always glad you came. More than anything, we enjoy working with what we love, skateboarding
