Notariat street is being taken over by skateboarding. Tarragona born BCN SNTS resident skater Julio Arnau and San Francisco’s legendary skater Lee Smith have opened up a spacious and elegant niche skate store a mere stone’s throw away from worldwide skating mecca, MACBA —attracting a lively flow of youngsters (and veterans) to it’s smooth tiled floor.

The history of skateboarding has run in tandem with FTC since it’s creation in 1986. With the first store opening in San Francisco in 1994, it’s been decisive in the evolution of skateboarding over the last few decades. Later additions to the family include stores in Sacramento and Tokyo, and finally Barcelona was the next logical step in the growth of FTC’s global skating network.

The store’s selection boasts a wide variety of all hardware needed for the sport with selected brands (WeSF, Sweet, etc … ) as well as a colorful collection of soft goods and shoes (Adidas, Lakai & Converse) including original FTC brand garments to make sure you rip-it-up in style.
