Goods and Services: Pass~Port Store, Sydney
Pass~Port Skateboards can’t put a foot wrong.
Great graphics, a bangin’ team who they support, they put out videos a couple of times a year, they give back to the skateboard community and introduce skateboarding to communities all around Australia, notably indigenous communities in the Northern Territory and beyond. They have played a major part in growing Australian skateboarding over the past decade, bringing their team to the world stage.
It only made sense that they needed their own brick and mortar store in the heart of Sydney, and what better addition than to host a gallery space inside as well. If you’re in Sydney it’s a must visit destination to check out all the new gear and artifacts from their passed campaigns and videos. Also, if you’re lucky enough to be in Sydney this weekend, Pass~Port is having an archive sale, but it is not at the store, it is at the warehouse 12 Holbeach Ave, Tempe NSW 2044. Enjoy!
