Ok so l would like to open a board shop in a small college town close to mountains. l would like to focus mainly on snowboarding, but l know that it is a seasonal sport and it is hard to sell gear in the summer so l would most likely carry snowboard skateboard and possibly wake board equipment. l know quite a bit about snowboarding and a fair amount about skateboarding the one thing l cannot for the life of me find out is how do l go about carrying specific brands or where do l go to get inventory at wholesale prices?

not to sure

think harder.

One of the there suggests that manufacturers themselves are the ones you have to speak to.
