Sideways Board Shop

Corner Brook, NL - Sideways Board Shop is Corner Brook's answer to the demands of the ever-increasing population of skate and snowboarders.

After seeing a substantial gap within this consumer market, owners Jennifer Lundrigan and husband, Greg Grant saw two great opportunities. First, a chance to start a business that provided skate and snowboard products to the public and second, a means to have full-time employment in a sector that she was really interested in.

Since their establishment in 1998, Sideways Board Shop has grown to offer a wide variety of retail items available for both sports. To check out accessories like their apparel, footwear, hardware components and ready-to-use boards, visit their store on West Street.

Sideways Board Shop is open Monday to Thursday and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and on Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

In addition to Sideways Board Shop, they are the only Canadian producers and distributors of yurts. After realizing that there were no Canadian yurt (a multi-purpose, environmentally-friendly outdoor structure made to withstand harsh climates) manufacturers, Jennifer and Greg decided to begin a production company called Tuckamore Yurts about 18-months ago as a way to remedy the prohibitive costs of Canadians purchasing yurts from the United States.

Tuckamore Yurts are high-quality modern day structures that are based on the wisdom from the ancient Asian design. They are hand crafted from local, renewable timber and have high-tech architectural fabrics, corrosion resistant fasteners and modern security features. Their easy set-up guide gives you a complete and easy to follow instructions with only a few hand tools. These environmentally sound yurts have a two-year warranty on woodwork, five years on covers and a lifetime warranty on locksets. A yurt will last many, many years with only a little annual maintenance.

Currently, Tuckamore Yurts are marketed to the northeastern seaboard of the United States as well as to Eastern and Atlantic Canada. To find out more about Tuckamore Yurts, visit www.tuckamoreyurts.com.
