Edge of the World is a Canadian snowboard shop located in the mountains in Fernie, British Columbia.
We love snowboarding, skateboarding and paddleboarding and we are lucky enough to have a world-class home resort just down the highway at Fernie Alpine Resort, where we test all our winter gear.
Edge of the World is known for our rich history within the snowboarding industry, with owner Greg “G-Money” Barrow having been involved in the snowboarding scene from its very beginning - he can remember buying snowboards in the early 80s from the likes of Jake Burton, Chuck Barfoot, Tom Sims, and Dimitrije Milovich, who would be in the parking lot of ski shows trying to sell snowboards out of their vans because they were not allowed inside!
We are proud to be an independent Canadian board shop, and a Canadian stockist of snowboard brands like Korua shapes, Stranda snowboards, Nidecker snowboards, K2 snowboards, Gnu and Lib Tech snowboards, and Burton snowboards. Click here to shop our snowboards online!
We also carry a great selection of board lifestyle apparel brands, including Vans, Tentree, Mons Royale, Dickies, Rusty, Volcom and Dakine.
As a snowboard shop located in Canada, we don’t offer shipping to the US or outside of Canada at this time, but we do ship online orders all over Canada, and we offer free shipping Canada-wide on online orders over $100.
