The Board Retailers Association also works to provide educational resources and exclusive discounts and savings from vendors on the day-to-day costs of business.The most important facet of BRA is our unified voice for retailers to the action sports industry.

Updates

  • We are very pleased to announce that we have a new trade show and a new trade show partner. The CARV Expo will take place June 20-22, 2025 at the San Diego Convention Center bringing together top manufacturers from the surf, skate, bike, and outdoor sports industries. • Retailers from across the US will have the chance to explore the latest in boardsports, apparel, hard goods, wellness products, and more. Whether you’re looking to connect with industry leaders, discover innovative products, or expand your business, @carv.expo is the must-attend event this June. • 🚨 CARV Expo will implement a limited Hosted Buyer Program intended for independent specialty retailers who qualify. Get in on the ground floor and be part of this brand-trade show. This program will help give specialty retailers buyers the opportunity to subsidize out-of-pocket travel or lodging costs to attend the show. Email me at doug@boardretailers.org to be introduced to Abraham and to learn more about this helpful program and upcoming show. 🚨
