Twelve Board Store is Melbourne's specialist snowboard retailer — not a ski shop that happens to sell snowboards, not a general sports store with a snow section. Snowboarding is what we've built the business around. Our staff ride. Our buying reflects what actually performs in Australian conditions. And our in-store service goes well beyond handing you a bag and processing a transaction.

We're at 435A Bridge Road, Richmond — less than 3km from the CBD, easy parking, open seven days.


Why Melbourne Riders Come to Us

We ride what we sell

Every product in our snowboard range has been assessed by people who ride Falls Creek, Mt Buller, Mt Hotham and Thredbo. We know what performs in Australian snow — which is wetter and heavier than Japan, the US or Europe, and demands different specs than northern hemisphere buying guides suggest. When you ask us which board suits your riding, the answer comes from experience, not a spec sheet.

Boot fitting — done properly

Snowboard boots are the most important gear decision you'll make. A poorly fitted boot ruins the mountain, regardless of what board you're on. We fit boots in store — heat moulding included with every boot purchase — and we take the time to get it right. Bring your socks, try multiple brands, and leave with a boot that actually works for your foot.

Frosty's workshop — year-round

Our in-house workshop handles snowboard waxing, edge tuning, base repair and boot heat moulding. Open year-round at our Richmond store. Drop your board in before the season, get it back fast, and arrive at the mountain with a base that actually runs.

Authorised Australian dealer

We're an authorised dealer for the brands we stock. That means genuine Australian warranty, manufacturer support, and access to the full range — not grey market stock or limited allocation. Current brands include Burton, Jones, YES., Lib Tech, Nitro, K2, Salomon, Ride, DC, ThirtyTwo, Nidecker, L1, Yuki Threads and more.


What We Stock

The full setup — boards, boots, bindings, outerwear, goggles, helmets, accessories and apparel. Boards across all riding styles: all-mountain, freestyle, freeride, powder and splitboard. Boots in every flex rating and lacing system. Bindings from entry level through to high-performance Step On systems.

Outerwear from brands that build for real mountain use — waterproofing ratings that hold up, seam taping that doesn't fail, insulation that keeps working when Australian snow turns wet and heavy.


Melbourne Snowboard Season

Victorian resorts typically open in June and run through to September, with peak conditions at Falls Creek, Mt Buller and Mt Hotham through July and August. Mt Baw Baw is the closest resort to Melbourne — good for beginners and day trips. For serious riding, Falls Creek and Hotham are the destinations.

We stock year-round — boards, boots and bindings are available outside season for pre-season preparation, end-of-season sales and boot fitting without the rush.
