Splitboarding Sites

Sites

Splitboard Journal - Probably the best resource for board reviews.

Splitboard Mag     

Splitboard.com    

The Gemsstock

The Bearded Splitboarder

Independent Splitboard Stores

Stores

If ​you think your local shop should be here, or if you're a shop and you want to be added, please let us know.  We only want proper independent splitboard shops with a good range of gear and knowledgeable staff.  The online stores and the big chains don't need the exposure, and if all they've got is a couple for splits in the corner just to be 'core that won't cut it!
