Rome SDS (Snowboard Design Syndicate) is a rider-owned Vermont brand that's built a cult following on smart, no-nonsense all-mountain and freestyle gear — especially its bindings, with the legendary 390 Boss a long-running favourite. At Twelve Board Store we carry the Rome range across boards and bindings, in stock at our Richmond showroom and shipping free Australia-wide.
Rome was founded in 2001 in Waterbury, Vermont, by riders who wanted a brand driven by feedback from the people actually riding the gear — hence the "Snowboard Design Syndicate" name. It's stayed independent and rider-focused ever since, with a reputation for durable, thoughtfully-designed product that performs without marketing fluff. Rome riders tend to be a loyal bunch, and the bindings in particular have a reputation as some of the best-built in the sport.
Who Rome Is For
Rome suits riders who want capable, durable all-mountain and freestyle gear with real substance. The board range leans towards all-mountain and park-friendly shapes for intermediate and advanced riders, and the binding range — led by the iconic 390 Boss — is a genuine reason people choose the brand. If you want bindings that last and adjust easily, Rome is one of the first we'll point you to. Best suited to progressing through advanced riders who want gear with character.

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!
