It took a while but eventually I found a skate shop in South Korea worthy of stocking BS15.

Tussa Skateboards is in the Itaewon district of Seoul and  caters for a small but committed group that cruise the almost endless smooth concrete and welcoming rails that abound across the city.

I had the pleasure to be chatting with the manager when a young lad dropped in (with his bemused looking Dad) looking for his first board.

There aren’t any skate parks as such in Seoul but have a browse on theskeit.com which provides a good reference point for the best spots in the city.
