Kurt's passion for bowling began at a young age, accompanying his mother to watch her bowl. As soon as he could walk, she introduced him to the game, and he quickly embraced it. Competing in junior leagues until joining the Navy at 18, Kurt took an eight-year break during his service but returned to bowling, which has remained a constant in his life.

The journey to creating this business started with Kurt’s unwavering love for the sport and his fascination with the mechanics of the game and the unique style of each bowler. This passion merged with Erikka’s entrepreneurial spirit to form a customer-focused bowling business that caters to bowlers of all levels.

Kurt and Erikka offer a comprehensive range of services, including ball fitting, drilling, plugging, resurfacing, and more. Additionally, they provide the latest equipment, such as balls, bags, shoes, and accessories, ensuring that customers have access to top-notch gear.

The mission of the business is clear: to deliver exceptional customer service while equipping bowlers with the knowledge and tools to improve their game. What sets this pro shop apart is Kurt's genuine enthusiasm for bowling, paired with his humble approach to his skills. While Kurt focuses on fine-tuning bowling equipment, Erikka personalizes accessories, helping bowlers showcase their unique style both on and off the lanes.

With a shared dedication to the sport and a commitment to quality service, Pins and Needles Pro Shop aims to elevate every bowler's experience and passion for the game.
