ASR is proud to partner with the following Industry Associations:


The Board Retailers Association (BRA) is the unified voice and action group representing independent board sports retailers across the United States. The name Board Retailers Association reflects the multidimensional aspect that most retailers in our industry have. Surfboarding, skateboarding, snowboarding and wakeboarding all share a central theme as board sport retailers. BRA organizes and expresses the views and concerns of independent board sport retailers to manufacturer's associations and major trade show organizations in an effort to help promote our industry and support the board sports specialty retailer.

IASC's (the International Association of Skateboard Companies) goals are to promote skateboarding, increase participation, save its members money, and educate. IASC's focuses our marketing efforts around Go Skateboarding Day on June 21, every year, the IASC annual push to get everyone on a skateboard. Go Skateboarding Day, an international event, began in 2004. Each year the holiday grows bigger and better than last. Skateboard parks, skateboard shops, cities and skateboarders plan events such as barbeques, fundraisers, contests, or simply took to the streets. IASC's priority is to involve more youth in skateboarding. To encourage more kids to get on and stay on skateboards we hold Learn to Skate days and Career days, and send them to skateboard camps.
