BOARDSPORTS HISTORY

BOARDSPORTS was started in 1972 by John Boothroid in a Toronto garage as Wind Promotions – a 100% core windsurfing business.   We eventually found a “real” store in the Beach area on Queen Street East. Then in 1996 we relocated to our current main store at 2010 Yonge Street.  We renamed the store BOARDSPORTS to reflect the broadening focus on all board sports: snowboarding, skateboarding, wakeboarding, surfing, kiteboarding and more recently Stand-Up Paddle Boarding. Then in 2002 we opened a new store in the Village at Blue Mountain.  

Nowadays, Boardsports is owned and operated by Steve Martin. Steve started with the store back in 1995 as a summer employee. In 2003 - after completing a couple of university degrees, working a handful of years as an Industrial Automation Engineer, and completing graduate school - Steve rejoined the Boardsports crew. Along with Steve, we have a key group of terrific long-term managers that are all dedicated riders. And we have been fortunate to attract amazing sales staff that are extremely passionate about the sports we all love.

Thank you for supporting our shop!

Go go out and ride!

Steve, Mark, Chris, Deanne and the rest of the BOARDSPORTS crew.
