About

Welcome to Midnight Owl Skateshop. We started out in Addlestone Library in 2016 by Nick Craven while studying at College of Charleston. There he created the Owl logo by hand and digitized it on Adobe Illustrator. It began as "Midnight Owl Collection" in Charleston, SC and expanded to Raleigh, NC.

Years later in March 2024 we reformulated as an online skate shop. 

May 2024 we proudly acquired the first company to carry for our shop-Swim Skateboards

-Swim Skateboards is owned and ran by Kevin Terpening and Dan Plunkett.

"I knew Midnight Owl needed a good brand to carry from the start. Not just a brand itself but one that made sense to support. Swim was a no brainer for me.'

'When my family owned our shop in Summerville, SC called Inland I happened to cross paths with Dan while at DTB LOT Gang Wars premiere and Elwood demo at The Park and he always took the time to chat with me. Pretty cool beings I didn't know who he was at the time.'

"I feel like skateboarding is a very tight knit community at it's purest form. It doesn't matter where you live or where you're from. Skaters will support who they know and what influenced them, because at the end of the day brand hopping or following trends never matter. Having fun on your skateboard is what it's all about."
