About Longboardshop.eu
The Company
Here at Longboardshop.de all employées are skaters, longboarders, surfers or snowboarders - but most all are all of it. Here on the Pogo Longboardshop Farm sustainability, fun and good vibes are coming together. The people who work here decided to live here. They sell only what they would decide to ride themself. Best is to call in or stop by to see what we write about here. But so long have a browse at our online-shop and get yourself a longboard - that's what we would do if we wouldn't have already 10 boards at home.
The Longboardshop History
Longboardshop.de - The oldest skate online shop in europe
Back in the day when Martin and Jogi used to only build Snowboards and Longboards, they had this great idea during summer time 2000: Creating an Online Store to sell Pogo Longboards and imported Skate goods from the USA to all europe.
Longboardshop and Pogo, that was the perfect wedding.
In 2000 when the dotcom bubble exploded and no company really believed in the internet anymore, some guys were packing and shipping skate longboard orders to europe. Almost 20 years later, around 4 employées offering great online products, deals and service to thousands of customers in europe. The guys from Longboardshop are stocked to share this fascinating sport and lifestyle with so many others. Longboardshop.de (.eu) - Europe's oldest Skate Longboard Store.

If we can rely on anyone, it's Heiko. Always there when it's nuts, always on time and always hard at work. He is currently the longest permanent employee of Pogo. Heiko is in the production daily; building boards, and then finish-lacquering so each of them is one-of-a-kind; no two boards at Pogo look the same. Heiko was many years on the Streetskate Team of Heilbronns Burnside skate store and also an avid snowboarder for eons. He's not only refined as paint/finish Specialist for Pogo, but for his low-rider Golf.
