Tactics Boardshop (Blog #20)

Tactics is a skate, surf and snowboard shop in Eugene, Oregon. They are a great company that sells over 300 brands in their store and online. The company was started in the late 90’s by some U of O students who just wanted to pay for their lift tickets to go up the mountain and snowboard for free.

I’m currently in a business management class BA 317 and we recently did a case study on the company. It was very interesting to learn about this local skate shop here in Eugene that does international business. Since some countries have high taxes, Tactics does lots of business internationally in places such as Canada, The United Kingdom, Russia, Brazil, Norway and even Switzerland.

They have a cool store in Eugene that offers lots of great gear and a fantastic staff that knows about all the boards and can help outfit you with whatever you need. Check out their Eugene store if you’re ever in town 375 W 4th Ave., Eugene, OR, 97401 Monday-Saturday 11am-7pm or Sunday 12 noon-5pm or give them a call at 541.349.0087.
