We are passionate about skateboarding & committed to bringing the best experience to our customers. Our story began with a love for the sport and a vision to create a one-stop destination for bike & board enthusiasts.
WELCOME TO
It all started...
Crafty Cranks & Board Shop began nearly a decade ago as a backroom side project in Crafty Drafts, a local bar. When the bar was sold, we hit the road, transforming our iconic van into a mobile skate and bike shop. Around the same time, we made the personal decision to embrace sobriety. That choice shaped the future of Crafty: when we opened our brick-and-mortar shop, we began serving alternative beverages instead of alcohol. It wasn’t long before we built a community of like-minded, sober-friendly patrons who share our passion for bikes, boards, and good vibes.
