Where do I buy Snowboards wholesale?
I am finding websites that claim 70% off, but I don’t see wholesale websites for Snowboards.
I have a business that modifys used snowboards, however, I am looking to make a change to modifying new snowboards. I truly am looking for a wholesaler in snowboards.
Distributors typically do not sell directly to the general public, they sell to retailers. I do not know of many "factory direct" or other sales channels that skip the distributor or retailer. There are some: for instance Prior snowboards deal directly with the rider, but they do so at retail prices. They are great boards and so come at a high price. Another example is Coiler. In both cases you can buy from stock or have your board custom made. These exceptions to the rule are both high-quality handmade boards. Not the sort that people buy when looking for a deal.
The best retail buys are end-of-season (now) or last year’s model at the beginning of a new season. Good luck.

To buy a snowboard wholesale you must be a retailer. Companies support the shops that support them. Selling directly to the public would be the end of the local shop. There is no distributor of snowboards its all done directly through the manufacturer. sorry but the 70% off is a good deal take it.

The best deals you’re going to find are right now. There is no such thing as a "wholesale" to the public for snowboards, it just doesnt exist unless you’re a retailer.
Even then, you cant just open a shop and get a supply of all the Burton boards you want, the companies only send out product to "their" shops that do a good job of selling their stuff. If you’re just starting a shop, you’ll need to set up a reseller agreement with the companies you want to sell and then work yourass off to sell their stuff so that next year, they send you better stuff.
If you’re just a rider, just be happy with the %% off deals online. I was able to find a Custom X Wide ‘64 for $325 and a pair of CO2s to slap on it for $175 by shopping around a bit… I’ll be happy with a deal like that anytime.

I think you’re conbfusing "wholesale" with "factory direct." Snowboard companies have deals with certain retailers, that’s why only some stores you might visit will carry Lib Tech or Option or Gnu. That is how they choose to deal with the general public. It’s like if you want a box of Oreos you go to the store, not to Nabisco.
70% off is a good deal, you won’t get much better than that except by waiting until August.
