About Us

608 Skate Shop

Welcome to 608 Skate Shop, Dorset's independent hub for skateboarders—a store and a home for the local skate community.

Our roots run deep. Founded by a lifelong skater with over three decades in the skate scene, 608 brings unmatched experience to Dorset. From being a sponsored rider to working at one of the UK's oldest skate shops, we live and breathe skateboarding, and we're committed to giving back to the culture that made us who we are.

Housed in the historic location of one of Britain’s oldest skate shops, previously ‘The Skate Shop,’ and 'Macintosh & Mizen", where our owner once honed his skate shop craft, 608 Skateshop is steeped in the rich history of British skateboarding.

Since opening our doors in 2017, we've been dedicated to growing Dorset's skate scene. We organise local contests, stock products from homegrown brands, and actively push for better skate facilities across the region. We offer a vast range of skate products, including decks, trucks, wheels, hardware, shoes, and clothing from core skate brands.

 

Independent

As a local, independent shop, we're here to serve Dorset's skate community. We nurture local talent, support events, and keep the skateboarding scene alive and thriving. We also proudly serve skaters from across the UK and around the world.

Need something special? Just ask. We’ll do our best to track it down and get it in for you.

Stay in the loop with us on Instagram and Facebook for shop news and local skate updates. Better yet, drop by the shop. Whether you're a longtime skater or just starting out, we're always up for talking about all things skateboarding.

Come see for yourself what makes us different.
