Cheapskates Christchurch

‘Used and abused’: Why iconic Cheapskates store that shaped city for over 40 years is closing For decades it was at the heart of the country’s snowboarding, skating and street fashion scenes - and even filled Cathedral Square with snow for a competition.

We will be closed today, Sunday 12th.
Apologies for any inconvenience.
Back on deck tomorrow.

That’s a wrap for the 2025 Cheapskates Spring Slasher. What a day. What a turn out…considering the weather. Stoked on the support of the local snowboard community. You gotta love that. Groms, Youth, Open, Masters. Tricky conditions but the vibes were so so positive.
Shout out to and for putting it on.
To Jenna for the tee design and James at for printing the t shirts. And Gricey for the trophys and stickers 👊
And the generous support of prizes from these fine people

Save the Date. Sunday 28th September. The 9th Annual Cheapskates Spring Slasher
