REGINA The Tiki Room has been part of Regina’s skateboarding culture for 25 years and now it’s seeing a surge in popularity of the sport. Noel Wendt was working at another shop before he opened the Tiki Room in May of 1996. He noticed a growing demand for skateboards, so decided it was time to launch a store dedicated to selling them. “I had been skateboarding for a number of years at that point. I had been working for a retail store called World of Trout here in town,” Wendt said. “We started selling skateboards just out of the back of that space and it just grew to the point where it needed its own identity.”
