McKevlin's doesn't pretend to be a Skate Shop.  We don't carry mainstream skateboards, and we don't sell parts, pads, or shoes.  What we do offer are the kinds of complete skateboards that surfers like to ride to help stay in tune when the ocean's flat.  Gravity, Carver, Palmetto Boards, Maki, Lost Skates, and Sector 9 produce some of the finest longer boards around - perfect cross-trainers to improve your surfing.  Whether you're a long or shortboarder, riding these types of skateboards will make you a better surfer.

Several years ago some marketing genius decided that instead of offering REAL BODYBOARDS, they could get away with applying a thin skin of bodyboard material over a core of styrofoam!  This is the type of bodyboard most often found at drugstores, wholesale clubs, big box stores, grocery stores, and even sporting goods outlets.  This is also the type of bodyboard most often found broken into pieces littering beaches everywhere.

The only kind of bodyboards McKevlin's offers are those made with the same material inside as outside.  All our Custom X models have a polyethylene core and a polyethylene skin.  They are not only more durable but also are better performing and are reasonably priced.

McKevlin's is proud to carry Wave Zone skimboards.  These are all foam core and fiberglass shapes built in the U.S. - specifically  Palmetto, Florida.  Wave Zone has been making boards with pride there since 1990.  They offer skimboards for all weight ranges and for all levels of riding - beginner, intermediate, and advanced.  Plus, new for 2012, we have added Exile skimboards from San Clemente to the mix.

Everything we offer at McKevlin's Surf Shop must do what it's supposed to do and do it well.  We don't always choose the brand with the best sponsored riders, or the best ads, or even those that are the most popular.  We like to sell products we use or wear ourselves and products we are confident will work for others.
