Academy Snowboards international sales are up on a year to date basis of approximately 98%, according to Execute Sports, Inc., owner of the Academy brand. In addition, Academy Snowboards has added Greece, the Czech Republic and Poland to its list of international distribution.
Jeff Baughn, Sales and Marketing Director for Academy Snowboards, commented that, “We are happy to see the acceptance and building demand for the Academy Snowboards line overseas and anticipate adding further international distribution partners to our roster this season. We are in the process of expanding the sidewalled-series snowboard line which will, in turn, provide us with an entry-level priced board to the market. We think this will substantially open up the Academy Snowboard line, while maintaining superior quality and performance, to the increasing demand that we are seeing, both domestic and international.”
Recently, Academy Snowboard’s Chad Otterstrom won the half pipe at the West Coast Invitational, held at Mammoth.
