Oakville Sailboard & Ski Inc. opened for business
April 1, 1986 on Lakeshore Road just east of the bridge in downtown Oakville and moved
three years later to the present location, three blocks west of the bridge on
the north-east corner of Lakeshore Road and Kerr Street .
|
|
Initially it was a
Windsurfing shop in the summer and
Downhill Skiing
equipment, clothing and boots in the winter, along with
Ski Service and Ski Tune Ups, which includes sharpening edges and hot waxing.
|
|
Because of demand,
Water Skis
and related items were added the following year.
|
|
Snowboards and
Wakeboards were added when they appeared on the
scene a few years later.
|
|
Closely related items like
Car Racks
and attachments and Foot
Bed Insoles
are also sold, along with other related items..
|
|
A few unique items are stocked, such as
Hackey Sack
foot bags, which are not universally
available in most other sport shops.

Individual sporting goods
suppliers:
The store also has suppliers who are
paid using one or the other of two different systems of "guaranteed sale" payment:
-
The first type uses a system with
selling prices staying the same for 6 months before they might be reduced and 1
year before the reductions might be greater in order to move the item. The
supplier agrees to accept 40%, of the selling price after the goods are sold,
but this can be changed in special circumstances.
-
The second type uses a unique pricing
formula, like a "Dutch Auction" - with the selling price going down every month
every month for 8 months, with the same amount of reduction each month, at which
time the sale price of the item is 25% of the initial starting price. The
supplier will receive the selling price less 25% of the starting price.
