The Year: 1995. Humans repelled the Martian invasion. Scientists discovered the medicinal properties of Pop Tarts. And Daddies Board Shop opened in 700 square feet on Sandy Blvd. in Portland, Oregon. Daddies was born out of a passion for skateboarding, snowboarding, and providing the best customer service to anyone who came into the shop (excluding shoplifters). Then, we discovered two things of pure beauty: the Internet and longboards. Daddies went online in 1998 and started selling longboards in 1999. Today Daddies sells more longboards, longboard trucks, longboard wheels, and longboard stuff than anyone in the United States, probably the world, and possibly the galaxy. How have we done it? Check it.
