Bored of Southsea

Established in October 1997, Bored of Southsea has been a cornerstone of the UK skate scene for nearly three decades. As a skater-run business, we have consistently prioritised quality and authenticity, curating products from leading skateboard hardware, apparel, and footwear brands. Our commitment to fostering local skate culture is evidenced by our role in preserving Southsea Skatepark, developing Milton Skatepark, and supporting the creation of Pitt St Skatepark. Over the years, we have collaborated with renowned artists and brands such as Carhartt WIP, Spitfire Wheels, and Palace Skateboards, producing iconic in-house designs like the Southsea Bronx Strong Island t-shirt. Our team, led by creative director David Millard for the past decade, combines deep industry expertise with a passion for skateboarding.

We offer comprehensive guidance on products ranging from decks and trucks to apparel, ensuring customers receive informed recommendations. Our dedication to the community extends beyond retail, as we organise skate events, video premieres, and international brand tours. With a physical store in Portsmouth and a robust online presence, we serve skaters globally while maintaining our roots in the local scene. Trust and transparency underpin our operations, from our 30-day return policy to our commitment to resolving customer queries promptly. This enduring ethos has solidified our reputation as a trusted authority in skate culture.
