Omen – Phoenix – Deck

The Phoenix is the most innovative board for Omen’s 2015 offering. Designed by Dan Kasmar, and featuring a directional center drop, this board changes the way the human body integrates with the skateboard. This board is difficult to explain, but ergonomic to ride, with a truly “function over form” design plan. This is a team driven board that has been heavily demanded by our team of World Class Skaters.

About Us

Olivier J. Bashonga

Sales Associate and French Connection/Photographer

Coming from the land of poutine and beautiful women, Olivier can tell you whats up in two languages. He appreciates all things skateboarding and can get you set up if you are looking to get from A to B, go really fast, or slappy the nearest curb. If you don’t see him behind the front desk, he may very well be behind the lens capturing much of the fantastic talent here in Vancouver, or is jamming the nearest bowl he can find.

Mischa Chandler

Founder and CEO

Having already been a part of a Toronto based skateshop, Mischa knows the ropes. Originally from Onterrible, this transplanted Escarpment Surfer has run the gamut from building to breaking, buying to selling, learning to teaching, and everything in between that might involve a longboard. He is the quality control captain and makes sure that all product at Flatspot is top notch and priced right.

Flatspot Mission Statement

 

What is skateboarding? Why do people do it? Where is it going, and how is progress in skateboarding measured? Where does one discipline begin and the other end?

It is manner in which these questions are answered that creates the diversity and wide cultural vocabulary that populates our world of skate. It is not for us to give answers. For our customers or our community, or anyone.

Our place is merely to facilitate the range of ways in which skateboarding is approached. There is no correct way, there is no superior method, all that exists is play and expression. All shapes, forms and styles are welcome at Flatspot.

Just no scooters.

Banjo Man!

One year Banjoy Man came to Danger Bay, and the rest was history. This man took the longboard scene here by storm, and now every single racer recognizes his smile and can sing along to his foot stompin tunes.
