Water Sports · Saskatchewan
A long-running Saskatoon board shop selling snowboards, skateboards, wake and water ski gear plus clothing and footwear. Staff knowledge and service are the big draws; returns can be store credit only.
Backside Board Shop is an independent Saskatoon store covering snowboarding, skateboarding and summer water gear, with wakeboards, water skis and paddleboards mentioned alongside a large clothing, outerwear and footwear section. Most of the reviews focus on snowboard gear and apparel.
Service is the theme across nearly a hundred reviews. Customers say staff ride the gear they sell, take time to match boards, boots and bindings to the rider, and suggest alternatives if something is out of stock. Several shoppers have bought complete snowboard setups here, and one had a boot lacing system repaired quickly for a fair price. There is a clearance section at the back, and the store is dog-friendly.
It works for families outfitting kids, first-time riders who need guidance, and regulars who have shopped here for years. Summer clothing stays out during winter for people heading somewhere warm.
A handful of older reviews describe being sold the wrong gear and then only getting store credit on returns, and one skater wanted more individual decks rather than complete boards. Check the return policy before buying, and bring your board if you want bindings fitted properly.
