2008 BEST OF SILICON VALLEY Reader Survey Winner - Second Place

Best Surf/Skate Shop

You know you’ve reached Circle A on Paseo de San Antonio when you see a lowrider parked on the sidewalk blasting punk music and gangs of 13-year-old skaters landing ollies and hanging out. Located directly across from the San Jose Rep, Circle A is a shop that believes skateboarding is more then just a pastime: it’s a sport, an art, a music and a lifestyle.

2007 BEST OF SILICON VALLEY Staff Pick and Reader Survey Winner - First Place

Best Surf/Skate Shop
Of all the downtown retail arguments, fiascoes, debates and debacles, the little guy who actually does succeed often gets completely overlooked, especially if that person doesn't offer upscale furniture or men's clothing. Circle A is one such establishment. Located in one of the pristine glass kiosks on Paseo de San Antonio, the place offers shoes, decks, trucks, clothing and a vast array of skate-related paraphernalia. Hope they keep on shredding.
