Like learning to walk on a tightrope, learning to skateboard requires steady balance, and a well-trained lion to add an element of danger. Show off your control over beast and board with today's Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of skate, surf, and snowboard apparel and accessories at Newt & Harold's.

Run by a crack-team of skaters and snowboarders, Newt & Harold's stocks a one-stop shop with all manner of skating gear, from designer apparel and shoes to premium snowboards and longboards. Jeans from Volcom, Altamont, and Krew ($44.99+) and Vans slip-on shoes ($39.99) give skaters the sartorial maneuverability to ollie over chairs, grind along rails, or outskate roving bands of adolescent fighting turtles. Back-to-schoolers can browse tees ($19.99+) from brands such as Analog, Matix, and Element or stash textbooks in a Burton Emphasis backpack ($39.99).

This Groupon can be used toward more costly board-based accouterments, such as an Arbor Bamboo Pin longboard ($169.99), which comes complete with an eco-friendly deck and quality wheels. Amicable pro staffers introduce shoppers to their perfect snowboard, with a huge selection of boards that can freestyle, park, jib, or safely carry supine novices down the bunny hill. Catch the owner's updates on latest arrivals and local brands, or ogle photos of skating events at the shop's blog.
