About us

About The Drop Rideshop

The Drop Rideshop crew lives for everything snow, skate, surf, and style.

You might remember us as S3 Boardshop, but after more than 15 years of serving Alberta’s riders, we’ve evolved into The Drop Rideshop — a new name with the same deep roots and community spirit.

Even though we call the prairies home, that’s never stopped us from chasing the ride. From mountain pow to park laps, city curbs to lake wakes — if it slides, carves, or glides, we’re into it.

Your Local Snowboard Shop in Grande Prairie

We’re proud to be Grande Prairie’s premier snowboard shop, offering one of the largest selections of snowboards, skis, skateboards, surf, and wake gear in Western Canada. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned shredder, our crew will help you find the perfect setup for your style and skill level.

Our team of passionate riders hosts regular product knowledge nights, staying on top of the newest shapes, tech, and materials from brands like Armada, Burton, Salomon, Capita, Lib Tech, K2, ThirtyTwo, and Vans, so you get real-world advice — not just sales talk.

We guarantee the best prices in-store and online across all our premium brands, making The Drop Rideshop the go-to Canada action sports retailer for riders coast to coast.
