I procrastinated getting my board tuned up before my first appointment to ride on the mountain tomorrow morning since fracturing my back... NICK got me taken care of while I waited there, even pushing his lunch back to take care of me since I would be unable to pick it up later that day. Amazing service, these guys know what they are doing, and very cool shop with great gear!! I will be coming back here for all my future snowboard needs and will recommend it to everyone I know!

The staff was so helpful they helped be build a set up that works for me without trying to rip me off. I’ve been riding it and it never felt better. This is my new go to skate/snow shop

If you’re looking for a rider owned and driven board shop this is the spot. Satellite is the best snow/skate retailer in the front range. Their staff is always friendly and resourceful. We always look forward to stopping in.

This is a great shop. The guy that built up my new board offered to drop it by my apartment when it was finished. The are also apparently working with the county to develop the unused space at the valmont bike park as a place to skate. Thats proper stewardship.

Satellite is the best place to get your skate and snowboard stuff! Or if youre not a boarder anymore, like me, they have an amazing selection of streetwear and kicks! I buy all my hats and Nike SB gear here, wearing em as I write this! Their in-house designs are sick, and I get lots of compliments when I rock their gear! Very honored and proud to be a customer of the shop and member of the community! Shout out to Raul for always hooking it up and running the best board shop anywhere!!!

I walked in today and was met with Ethan, a wise young man who knew a lot about not just snowboarding but the industry itself. The environment, product choice, and overall attitude of the shop brought me to a moment of pure serenity. At one point I wanted to spend all of my money, but I soon realized I needed some money to get home. So I just bought what I came for, which they had in full.From their goods options to the mood enhancing environment, I recommend a visit even if its just to hang.Place is a staple in Boulder10/10

What can I say, this place is a gem. The intelligent selection of products they carry is just the beginning. It’s the staff that makes the experience here.Unlike big box stores, there’s no doubt that these cats eat sleep and breathe the sport, and are in it for all the right reasons. This passion infuses their approach to customer service, and from the moment I walked in I felt welcomed into their rich history and vibrant community! It felt like a breath of fresh air in this increasingly commodified city.Skip the corporate shuffle. Be more than just a number. If you haven’t checked them out yet, what are you waiting for?!

Probably one of the best skate/snowboard shops in Colorado. Staff is very friendly, helpful, and have great product knowledge. This will be my designated go-to shop! I highly recommend checking it out if you havent already

This place is a hidden gem for snowboarders and skaters. They were able to help me fix a part on my bindings the minute I walked in. Very nice and knowledgeable staff willing to help and answer any questions. Support small businesses and skip the mainstream stores. This place is worth checking out!

Review №12

Had my board tuned here. Ethan walked me through my options and was very real in what my board needed. Never felt like he was trying to sell me something I didnt need. Picked it up and it looks great. One of the other guys helped get my bindings set up properly and even answered several questions on future upgrades. All from personal experience and industry knowledge. This is the best board shop close to Denver and I will only go here. Ride local buy local.

Satellite is definitely the go to for anything snowboard or skateboard related. They always have a sick selection of shoes and clothes (winter and summer) and coming out with awesome and great quality shop products as well. Employees are all super friendly and knowledgable and I always enjoy coming in whether its to just grab a new magazine issue, or to buy new setup, they always help out. Couldnt recommend the shop more!

Brought my board in today to Satellite for a core shot and get my edges tuned. Everyone at the shop was very friendly and took my board in to fix it up. They did an excellent job and everything was done to perfection. Satellite is the best boardshop in boulder and recommend going here to get all your dings fixed up or get a fresh hot wax for those slow days!!!

Review №17

Boulder is full of “sports” stores and large ski and board shops. There is not one that provides the level of expertise, personal service and, choice that Satelite does. The service you get from Raul, Ethan or one of the other employees is always top notch and far and above better than any other store that sells snowboarding and skateboarding gear.

This shop is awesome. They are committed to the skate and snow community forever. Plus, they have a great staff, wide selection and tech expertise.

Review №19

I dont ever write reviews, but my board rides so much better after a wax and tune by these guys that I have to rave. Also made some suggestions on setup that really helped. I went in asking for a more expensive tune and they talked me into the cheaper option since I really didnt need it. Best experience Ive had in 15 years in Boulder.

Review №21

Stopped by to get my snowboard checked out. I had cracks in the top sheet and the back of my bindings was almost falling off. They fixed up my bindings and took a close look at the cracks (just superficial). They didnt ask for a penny. Cool shop and super friendly, Ill be back when its time to upgrade.

These guys are the best. The first time I went in was for a warranty on a product I didnt even buy there. They took care of my warranty no problem! Today I went in to buy a new pair of shoes and the first pair he pulled out was exactly what I didnt even know I was looking for. If youre lookin for a great board shop this is the place

Review №27

Satellite is the real deal. The owners and people who work there are pros. They know snowboarding and skateboarding through and through. This is due to the owners and employees having dedicated their lives to both activities. Get your info and gear from people who know. they carry rare and limited products that the main chain large stores cannot get their hands on. Dont look like every other jaabronie on the mountain this year. Get into Satellite and get outfitted with some real threads and gear. Greatest people ever. You will not be dissapointed.

Awesome community hub! Ive been needing a small/obscure part for my skateboard for awhile now and have been avoiding it. They helped me out immediately, taught me some new terminology (it’s called a pivot cup btw), gave it to me free of charge, and made me feel like a part of the family. Super excited for their Warren Miller feature - they deserve it. Love this spot!

This shop has been terrific to my whole family! I (a 40-year-old mom) went there in February 2019 hoping to buy a part for my snowboard binding. They didnt have it, so the salesperson dug around in the back and gave me a part that he found (for free)!

Amazingly friendly staff with a great selection of snow/skate boards; atmosphere that appeals to the target consumer perfectly. Very satisfied customer who highly recommends people in the market for skate and snowboards to go here first- theres also a super chill dog who was there when I went in, so dog lovers have that much more of a reason to go.

This shop is great, and here to support skateboarders and snowboarders in doing what they love. Thanks Raul for fixing my (boa-laced) snowboard boot today. This is the only place in Colorado that will service your boots, for free, 4+ years after you bought them. Theses guys are great, and there is a free to use mini-ramp in the back of the shop, just sign a waiver. Thanks Satellite team.

Raul and his crew run the best shop any boarder could ask for. All nice people who care about their customers finding what will bring smiles to their faces. They have the biggest sale in the industry..you’ll have to ask them when it’s coming next. The shop is comfy and cool with ramps and packed with gear and the freshest decks. Check them out!

These guys are awesome. Came here to buy and rent some gear for my first time snowboarding and was blown away by how much help I got. They taught me how to tie up my snowboarding boots, helped me pick out my jacket and pants, and gave me some tips on what to do when I get to the slopes. I also got some sweet stickers. I can tell they really care about people here. Ill definitely be coming back

Review №65

Was recommended by my kids friend to this place and was hopeful I could buy a bunch of gear because my kid lives in Boulder. I literally called from out of state and said Id like to buy a full compliment of a board, binding, boots and was told Id have to come down to the shop. I reiterated that I was calling from out of state and wanted to buy this for my kid who lives in Boulder and just wanted to give them my credit card to buy it all and then have my kid come down and pick the products. Would have been the easiest sale ever but the guy was not interested in helping and was kind of rude about it. Little work, take my credit card, my kid comes in and you complete the transaction but it was clearly too much work. Weirdest phone call in a long time.. Cant explain turning down easy money but at least I tried and you cant force someone to take your business.

Review №79

By far the best snowboard and skate shop in Boulder... I was just about to go into a long rant about snowboard tune ups and bindings - then I was temporarily distracted by some guy name Joes long rant on a bizarre credit card sale rant... And Ive got to say ( after a long laborious career in retail) - no shop would or should ever take a card number like that over the phone. Its completely illegal and sounds like a major scam for some CU kid to call with a credit card and get a free set up.Moving on.. Back to my bindings. I recently took in my board for a wax and tune up to the dudes at Satellite, and Raul, one of the owners was cool enough to look at my stance after we started talking about our mutual knee and ankle issues. Getting old and still shredding is tough on the body. Raul suggested that after years of riding a really wide duck stance, I should narrow it significantly to reduce the pressure off my outer knees, and also centered my bindings better to make riding over all easier. Ive got to say, after riding a bunch of days last week, I was feeling pretty good, and not noticing that same old pain.Thats what comes from years of experience and coaching- and buying our products from a shop whose owners actually ride. Thats the difference between just buying stuff online without trying it and having it set up properly. Support your local shop and go in and say hi. They want to keep people snowboarding in Colorado and are working hard to do so. They always have really cute ladies gear and a large selection of boots and bindings !Oh, and that dude Aaron with the crazy looking beard is usually pretty nice too, and I hear he gives good hugs? Good selection of sneakers and shred gear. #shredlifecuz #dateaskater

I have always had a great time going here. My brother and I both get our snowboards tuned here, and they always do a great job. The price of a tune up is very fair as well. All of the staff seems to be very knowledgeable, and fun to talk to. If you need help deciding on skateboard or snowboard equipment, this is a great place to go.

Raul and the guys down at Satellite are awesome! I took my five year old son in for his first board and he did a three hour lesson at the shop and local skatepark. As a parent and licensed psychotherapist I’ve got to say that Raul, in particular, was both highly engaging and supportive with my kid, who wanted to come back for more! I hope Raul expands his lessons to more youth in the area that are seeking a mentor in something their passionate about.Ryan Post, MA LMHC ( CO, RI, MA).

Locals hook up on all things skate and snow board. Owner is chill and super helpful. Been sk8in for 28 years (seriously? Im old!) and only ride their shop decks (which are typically local graphics, solid as all h..eck (I slam the boards on the deck HARD and I aint exactly thin no moar), and typically last last longer than pro decks). Plus they are all down for the community. More like SatelTIGHT, amiright? And the owner showed me how to change my stance on snow after 10+ years, and...it helped. Whod thunk.

Best boardshop in Boulder, hands down. Period. Full stop. The staff are all very gregarious and knowledgeable, the gentleman who helped me was patient and extremely attentive to my needs. As an experienced snowboarder I had a very precise picture of the kind of new setup I wanted, and the Satellite staff were more than ready to help me find exactly what I was looking for. They did not try to cajole me into buying anything on the spot, and actually suggested that I held off on purchasing bindings until I could bring my boots and make sure we found a good fit. They have many useful perks that comes with buying equipment from them (discount for next seasons gear, free tune, great warranty, etc) as well as a handy layaway option (pay for at least 20% of the board and they will hold it for you for a decently long amount of time). I would highly recommend this shop to anyone, from seasoned shredders to total tyros. Satellite will take care of you!!
