This place is the best long board shop I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. The owner knows absolutely everything about every board he has in there. Insanely great service and great prices to. If you are looking for a long board and you live in illinois, you need to be here.

They are an awsome shop becouse they have all the name brands and he will help you out on the prices. ALWAYS THE BEST DEALS.

Trade Winds is an awesome skate shop that sells all big name companies like Element and Almost. But they also have some smaller companies and blank decks from brands like Blackout and Mini Logo. Trade Winds also sells more than skateboards (they also have tons of awesome longboards) they sell shoes clothes and a whole lot more that will bring you back to the seventies and the days of peace not war. So Trade Winds is basically the best skate shop around, better than a chain of stores that rhymes with roomies or glumiez (that's how it makes me feel). If your a first time skater like I was when I went there owner (Who couldn't be nicer) will take you through the process and make your experience all the better. So cut away from the chains and terrible boards from Target and help out a real and local company called TRADE WINDS COVE.

Tradewinds is a nice place to buy your clothes. Some of their merchantdise you can't find anywhere else. I love that Tradewinds so much. When ever I get money thats where i first head to. The people are great there too, real friendly and helpful.
