About Us
We cater to the skater
Cruz Skate Shop's San Francisco location was founded in March of 2008 by Sandy "Motley" Cruz and now husband, Gordon Eckler, to provide much needed roller skate/derby gear and advice to local skaters. The 3rd brick and mortar derby shop to service the nation, Cruz was the first of it's kind in California and has welcomed visiting skaters from all over the globe. Within a year after our opening, we began to sell skateboard goods, creating a hybrid concept shop where the worlds of roller derby and skateboarding could unite. Marci "Rioter's Block" Daniels came aboard to help steer the Cruz ship in early 2011. Her addition to the shop roster has been an awesome collaboration and a lot of great things are in the works.
Being skaters ourselves, we all take pride in selling only goods we would personally roll on, and in providing assistance to skaters of all ages and skill sets. Not only is skating something we love, but sharing our experience and knowledge with other skaters is something we're passionate about. We continue to educate ourselves about and test the gear we carry so that we can provide the best equipment, information, and service to our customers.
The LadyDudes in charge...
