John Montesi's Westside Skateshop is the premier location for all things skateboarding in Clearwater.

And one of the shop's biggest sellers are sneakers.

Limited edition Nike SBs fly off the shelf as fast as they can get them in. One sneakerhead came in Thursday to buy 32 pairs. In fact, they are in such high demand the customer plans on reselling them and shipping them to Europe.

Along with shoes, Westside also offers a full range of apparel to match. Brands like Rocksmith, Four Star, and DGK hang from the racks in every color and size.

Westside Skateshop can also boast that they are one of the only skateboard shops in Clearwater that can put together a complete skateboard.

"A kid came in the other day and the skateshop he left couldn't put together his board because they didn't have any bolts," Employee John "Partytime" said. 

That is not a problem at Westside with every skateboard product you can imagine at the shop right off of US 19 and Belleair Road.

Whether picking up a complete outfit to wear or a complete skateboard, it's worth braving the construction on US 19.
