About CCS

For over 40 years, CCS has been a go-to destination for skateboards, skate shoes, and skate clothing. We got our start in San Luis Obispo, California in 1985, back when we were still called California Cheap Skates. What began as a small shop quickly turned into one of skateboarding’s first mail-order operations. Orders were packed in the back room, inventory lived in the spare dressing room, and before long the CCS Catalog became required reading for skateboarders everywhere.

Since then, millions of skaters have relied on CCS to track down the best gear and the hard-to-find stuff from brands like Adidas SkateboardingNike SBPolar, Quasi, Krooked, Welcome, Baker, eS, Vans, Obey, Nixon, HUF, and hundreds of other brands. Alongside the brands you know, our CCS-branded products, including jeans, chinos, shirts, and skateboards deliver premium quality without the premium price tag.

From skateboards and skate shoes to clothing and accessories, CCS carries one of the largest selections of skate gear anywhere. Our mission has always been simple: stock the best brands, keep prices fair, and get your order to your door as quickly as possible.

Today, CCS calls Portland, Oregon home. If you’re in the area, swing by the CCS Portland Store and see what we’re all about.
