Got shop-branded fingerboards? 🤔

Introducing our newest and proudest creation thanks to @rollaroundworkshop 

Shack Fingerboards

These are 5 ply maple wood boards, made just like their big brothers and sisters. Single axle trucks with locking nuts, rubber bushings, bearing wheels and foam grip tape.

They also come with this removable rad little spandex loop thingy so you can wrap it around your rear view mirror for display, or wherever really ❤️

____________________________

BRA Supporting Vendor Partner Roll Around Workshop is a Skater/Minority Owned business that provides custom fingerboards for shops and brands with their graphics on them. They can accommodate multiple designs in the same order with low minimums. 
•
All BRA Regular (no cost) and Distinguished Retail Members can take advantage of the really special BRA Retail Member offer from this outstanding resource. 
•
By the way, if you are planning on attending @surfexpo in September, be sure to visit the BRA Booth where you could win a BRA-branded, @spottampa branded, @pureboardshop branded, @modernskate branded, @cowtownskate  branded, or other shop-branded @rollaroundworkshop produced fingerboard just by landing the ring on the hook🪝within one or two tries.

We are getting super excited to continue the 50th Anniversary Celebration of Surf Expo in September (16-18). We love the later dates, which provides our retailers a chance to breathe after wrapping up the summer season. If you are still on the fence about attending this remarkable trade show, hit us with a DM.

Talk about ENERGY! ⚡️

Fifty years in, and the STOKE is stronger than ever. Surf Expo continues to be the place where the industry meets, buys, connects, and sets the tone for what’s next — and January proved it. 

The momentum is real, the community is fired up, and the future of coastal outdoor lifestyle has never looked brighter.

Glad to see more features about skate shops as well as the resourceful people behind them and the communities supporting them.  Keep up the positive work, @theplatfrm, @donovon.piscopo, @anthonypiscopo13, and @pawnshopskateco.

Repost from the good people behind @theplatfrm 
•
@donovon.piscopo grew up skateboarding alongside his father, @anthonypiscopo13. For the past 16 years, their family has run @pawnshopskateco, which has become the heart of Covina’s skate scene. Donovon hopes to one day carry on the legacy with his own daughter—because this has never been about the money.

DM us and we will send you an email containing a listing (including descriptions and special BRA Member exclusive offerings) of all of our current BRA Supporting Vendor and Event Partners.  These resourceful companies can help you, our retail members, to lower costs, increase margins, and create more remarkable customer experiences.  In short, these brands and service providers help independent specialty retailers to survive and thrive. 
•
We, @boardretailersassociation, are really deliberate about who we partner with and fully vet each and every one of them. We also never share member lists or any member information with anyone without express permission from you. 
•
🚨When you DM us, be sure to include your direct email address and we will forward it to you as well as a link to opt into our free BRA Retail Membership and info on our newly expanded PartnerShip Shipping Discount Program that will enable you to save on both outbound and inbound shipping. 🚨
•
We are also happy to make personal introductions between BRA retail members and vendor / event partners, but if you don’t ask for assistance or connections, it is less likely that you will get the help you need. 
•
If you are a brand or service provider that provides unique products or helpful solutions and have interest in supporting independent specialty retailers while amplifying your messaging through our channels, email doug@boardretailers.org to schedule a meeting.
