Spark R&D Dealers – The Splitboard binding Company

The dealer guide showcases the 21/22 product line, highlights our general binding tech, and links to our important dealer documents for this upcoming season.

Greetings to current and prospective Spark R&D dealers! Welcome to the digital buyer’s guide. Whether you are familiar with Spark R&D or just getting to know us, you should find everything you need to either place an order, become a dealer, or just learn about our products and brand on this site.

For the 2021/22 season, we are carrying over our entire product line. If you have any questions about our plans for this upcoming season we’d be happy to answer them for you via email or over a video chat.

Before emailing or requesting a meeting, please take a look at the website. We have pages set up for both our current dealers and shops that are interested in selling Spark R&D gear!

Splitboarding is about getting outside and exploring. It is about taking your snowboarding, not to a new or better level, but to a deeper level. It is about seeking out an experience that you can’t find inside the confines of the resort. The timeless stoke for surfing the snow stays the same, and with it comes an exceptional level of pride where the entire mission can be reached through self-powered shredding.

We are lucky as a company to build products that bring a lot of joy to people and allows them to go places they otherwise could not. We are as excited to help snowboarders get out in the backcountry and explore as we are about getting out ourselves. We design, build, ride and test our bindings – the R&D in our name is sacred and a part of our business that we all actively participate and believe in.

We are proud of the products we build, that we build them here in Montana, and that we work toward sustainability throughout our process. We will continue to push the envelope in all aspects of our company from design to production as we work to create the best possible experience for splitboarders.

Spark R&D has been manufacturing the Burton Hitchhiker splitboard binding since 2014. In 2020, we introduced an additional partnership with Nitro Snowboards and manufactured the Vertical splitboard binding. We are proud to continue working with both of these iconic brands and amazing industry partners.

Part of our commitment to our dealers is our continuing effort to push the brand via our dynamic marketing program. Our goal is to keep Spark R&D both authentic and relevant in the eyes of our consumers. We focus on highlighting our tech, inspiring new and veteran Splitboarders alike, and being leaders in the greater backcountry community.

We’re proud to have the best splitboarders in the world riding Spark R&D bindings!

When the world isn’t hampered by pandemics and travel restrictions, Spark R&D has a presence at splitboard events, big and small, all over the world.

Spark social channels reach a large and engaged audience of customers and potential customers.

We have a great relationship with a diverse and influential group of media partners.

Spark produces a broad range of content - from product videos, to podcasts, to splitboard-specific short films. We also partner with our Team Riders to help fund their splitboard-specific explorations and projects.

Each season we have various campaigns going on that work to position Spark as a leader in the backcountry community. One of our ongoing campaigns revolves around generating support for local avalanche centers. Next year, we’ll be promoting our 15-year anniversary.
