PRODUCT-A-MUNDO

What do we sell?... why do we sell it? How would it work for you? Why should you buy it from us? All these questions! So many damn words!

Everyone makes a good board, everyone sells a decent binding. We happen to think the stuff we have to offer is the best we could get our hands on. So without one more wasted moment of useless propaganda, here you go, the gear we sell:

Remember, everything we sell is covered by our no-nonsense LOWEST PRICE POLICY.

We've been selling Arbor boards for two years now and we couldn't be happier about it. Great boards with a dedication to craftsmanship and a feel-good story about how they do business. Several staff ride Arbor boards and like all Arbor owners, they simply love them to death. For more click here.

Nitro snowboards have been ruling the slopes for quite some time but they are brand new to Gord's. Wicked rides that trancend graphics and what pro rides what (although Nitro has LOTS of wicked pro riders shredding the gnar on their decks). Drop on by, check'em out. For more click here.

Salomon has a long history here at Gord's. From their bindings to their boards to their boots Salomon has always impressed us a bit more than their sales would suggest. If you want a quality board without the fake hype, Salomon is all about performance, durability and quality. For more click here.

You're not truly in the snowboard business unless you're in the Burton business... They are the pioneer, the innovator. The soul of snowboarding. Yep, there are many board companies out there talking the talk... Burton is renting the hall and paying the band. For more on Burton, click here.

Making killer bindings since 1997, Drake takes their products and their customer service seriously, while keeping it the way snowboarding should be… fun! Focused on customer service and care, Drake has made the commitment to backing their product with an outstanding warranty policy. Click here for more.

We call it bang for the buck. K2 has been around for many, many years and every year they find ways of packing in more goodies in every snowboard they make... While managing to keep their boards, bindings and boots super affordable. If you value value, you gotta check out K2. For more, click here.

Here's a company fiercely dedicated to bringing you the most stylish, innovative, high quality boots in the industry. Northwave remains an industry leader in technology, innovation and trends... And plus, there's no denying the fact that Italians, they know their footwear! For more on NW, click here.

Thirty two boots have long been a staple here at Gord's. 32 boots offer tremendous boot fitting technologies like the bitchin' Intuition liners coupled with light weight and admirable warmth. And don't forget their sweet Boa closure systems! We like 32 boots lots, read more about them here.

Flow is another one of those innovative, outside-the-box thinking companies that have clearly set themselves appart from the rest of the following wannabes of this business. Nevermind that K2 is blatantly trying to copy their most excellent binding system, Flow's still the original. Click here for more.

Above is just a sampling of the brands we do... And believe it or not there's even more cool brands in-store. Just pop by, come and meet the guys and the girls who make us who we are: Winnipeg's snowboard shop for those who crave service, knowledge and the best damn boot-fitting anywhere.

Here's a thought: How about you get off the stupid computer, get your board out of the closet, call a buddy and go riding?




	GET THE RIGHT BOARD We all know the guy who insists on riding a snowboard that’s at least two inches taller than he is. “Dude,” you say, “why is your board so long?” He asks why yours is so short. There’s a moment of silence. Why is your board so short? If you’ve been snowboarding for a long time, you most likely have tried different lengths, eventually deciding on your current choice. However, if you’re fairly new to snowboarding, chances are you just took the first board in the shop that was in your price range and matched your boots. This can lead to some seriously incorrect sizing, which is why we’re here to give you the lowdown on how to correctly size a snowboard. One of the first things to think about is width. This often gets overshadowed by the issue of length, but is equally—if not more—important. The first question to ask a prospective snowboard buyer is what size feet they have. If you buy a board that is too narrow, you can have toe or heel drag, which makes turning difficult. However, if you have a board that is too wide, you’ll have trouble controlling your turns. Set your boot on top of your board as if it were in a binding. If your heel and toe are both within a half-inch of the edge, then the width is correct. Next is length. Snowboard length is measured in centimeters and can usually be found somewhere on the topsheet. To see if a snowboard is a good size for you, stand the board up lengthwise and see if the board falls somewhere between your chin and nose. If it does, it means that it’s a pretty safe size to try out. Eventually, you’ll decide if you want a longer or shorter board based on your riding style and the terrain you ride. For instance, if you ride mostly powder, you’re going to want a longer board, whereas someone who rides a lot of park will most likely opt for a shorter one. All right. Now come and get yourself a snowboard.




	LOWEST PRICE POLICY We know that for some of you shopping at Gord's is probably a bit intimidating but relax, we're here to make it a fun and fulfilling experience. With the lowest prices guaranteed and a friendly fresh staff, give us a try, you may be pleasantly surprised. Our motto here at Gord's is simple: NEVER PAY MORE! And if we missed one, no problem. Of course we'll price match any local competitor's price, just mention it, even if on the web... We'll see what we can do!		IT'S FREAKING BOOTFITTING! Come on! you gonna stand there and get hosed like that? Wherever you're buying your boots, they GOTTA give a sh_t. Somebody's gotta do it right and we're that place. We could write it down, explain to you how a boot should fit (no, they shouldn't fit like your skate shoes) and explain to you step by step how to get properly fitted for snowboard boots but then we'd just be training the other shops on how to bootfit properly... and while we're nice guys and all, we're not THAT nice!




	NITRO, BABY. We were lookin for another brand, something bling yet dripping with substance, a board company that reflected our desire for performance and commitment to quality. Nitro boards have been around forever and half and they really do give a sh_t not just about pro-riders but also about you. Every board they make has a personality al its own, every deck has a story. One of these is yours, come and talk to us about Nitro, we think you might just buy one and make it your new favorite board ever.
