Hey the posts i found on this subject are a few years old and may be out of date.

I walked around Hongdae and couldn't find anywhere to buy a skate deck, I did see a few places with element clothes or nike sb, but that was it.

Today I am going to try to find Solsitce, a shop in Gangnam, Seoul.

If that fails I am out of luck for seoul and have to head to Daegu to start teaching. Does anyone know of a shop in Seoul or Daegu?

in seoul there's the skateshop in itaewon... same side of mcdonalds. walk with mcdonalds on your left toward the big arch over the road. follow the buildings and turn left (don't cross any roads)... as soon as you kinda of veer to the left there's a skateshop on the second floor... can't remember the name...

in daegu there's a snowboard/skateshop... i just bought a gonz deck for 90,000 including grip... they have a few anti-hero and real decks also... a few more crooked too... it's called "one trick" and is downtown... if you get out of the taxi at "sam duck so bang so" you should be able to see it close to the crosswalk...

the shop in seoul is much, much better... it's a proper local shop... the one in daegu is more like a mall style shop with not much of a wide selection... but hey, at least someone's selling product so we don't have to go to seoul every you need something or order it from the internet...

hope this helps... lemme know if you can't find it

Kasina Premium Shop in Hongdae sells skate decks.

Its next to the Kraze Burger, not ground level 2&3F. But I dont recall seeing trucks, grip etc...

Solstice is actually a shop in Busan - they have an office or something in Kangnam but not an actual shop. Go to TUSSA in Itaewon - the directions others gave you will get you there.

There is a skate shop in Gangnam, I'm not sure of the name.
They've got an alright selection of decks and shoes.
I'm not sure the real directions to get there, i just usually take exit 7 and then walk until i get to CGV and turn right, I continue up that way for a few blocks. You'll see the building stand out cause there are a lot of large E's and Darkstar stickers on the windows.

So I found the shop in Gangnam, It is a block away from Kasina, which was more like a LRG, DGK botique. A block up under the sign JUNO HAIR was the "pre-a-mirror a skat shup"

Now i am in deagu with a new Habitat.

Captin Marlow, are you in deagu, down to skate around?
