Burton didn't just make snowboards — it built the sport. From a barn in Vermont in 1977 to the biggest name in snowboarding, Burton has shaped how the world rides for nearly five decades. At Twelve Board Store we carry the deepest Burton range in Melbourne: snowboards, boots, bindings, the Step On system, AK outerwear, and bags — all in stock at our Richmond showroom, authorised dealer, shipping free Australia-wide.
Jake Burton Carpenter founded Burton Snowboards in 1977, working out of a barn in Londonderry, Vermont, building boards by hand and convincing ski resorts to even allow this new sport on their slopes. More than any other person, Jake is the reason snowboarding exists as it does today — he spent decades fighting to get boards on mountains, riders into competition, and snowboarding into the Olympics. Burton has been at the centre of the sport ever since, sponsoring the riders and shaping the technology that defines modern snowboarding.
That heritage matters because it shows up in the product. Burton builds the most complete ecosystem in snowboarding — boards, boots, bindings and outerwear all engineered to work together — and backs it with R&D no other brand can match.
Who Burton Is For
Burton makes gear for every rider, which is exactly why it's the brand most people start with and many never leave. Beginners get forgiving, confidence-building boards and the easiest setup experience in the sport. Intermediates get the broadest range of all-mountain and freestyle options anywhere. Advanced riders get the Family Tree line and AK outerwear built for serious backcountry and big-mountain riding. Whatever you ride and wherever you're at, there's a Burton built for it — and we'll help you find the right one rather than just the most expensive.

The guys at Twelve Boards just helped me to purchase three new Carver surf skates for my self and
The guys at Twelve Boards just helped me to purchase three new Carver surf skates for my self and two sons, they helped advise me on what would work best for all of us as we are all at different heights, weights and ability levels, unlike other shops/websites you get to talk with experienced people that know their stuff. I got a great price and the boards turned up quickly and packed really well with no damage. Couldn’t be happier with the service and gear, very happy to recommend this business to anyone interested in these sort of sports. My next purchase will be snowboards and I will be going through Twelve Boards for that purchase also. Great shop.
There is a reason I always keep coming back to Twelve, the service and the brands. The team are super helpful, patient and don't push their preferences, they listen to your needs and experiences and help you decide from there.
Had a couple of Jones boards previously and they recommended the Howler. Who am I to say no!
I purchased two Jones snowboards on-line for my next trip to Japan. Ordering through Twelve snowboards was a smooth experience and they kept me up to date with my order from the time I placed the order to delivery. I would highly recommend Twelve for the best gear, customer service and I wouldn't hesitate to order through them again. Thanks guys!
Incredible company, my Burton Swash jacket was exactly as advertised, great website, good post purchase communication and fast postage. Overall, a perfect experience!
