Sports stores Quebec

One of the absolute references when it comes to preparing a nature trip. Clothing, shoes, accessories, backpacks, tents and sleeping bags; good selection of bikes, skis and snowshoes, and some kayaks; complete climbing equipment, and more. An address that doesn't skimp on quality, and that therefore charges quite high prices, except for the house brand. Outdoor equipment rental service (Saint-Laurent Boulevard branch only), ski and bike shop.

MEC moved to Quebec in 2003 in a new, entirely environmentally friendly building, in order to remain true to the cooperative's image. In fact, you have to be a member to make purchases ($5 CAN, card valid for life) in this store, which offers clothing, accessories and equipment for all outdoor activities. Its homemade products are made with the greatest respect for the environment and people, and will satisfy the most demanding customers. Good to know: bike and ski repair shops and equipment rental on site.

Founded in the Magdalen Islands as a base camp for kitesurfing, Aerosport has developed an expertise in water sports and runs a gear shop in Oka. It's a mecca for all things kayak, SUP, surf, kitesurf and wing - with all the accessories that go with it - as well as for those who prefer to stay on land thanks to the fleet of electric bikes. For the lucky ones who will go to the Magdalen Islands, Aerosport has its own shop in L'Étang-du-Nord and a private site in the Havre-aux-Basques lagoon.

Sharks is THE shop for water sports enthusiasts for over 30 years. You will find all the equipment and accessories you need for kiteboarding, surfing, paddleboarding, wakeboarding, water skiing, kneeboarding, wakeskating and wakesurfing, not to mention wetsuits and other beach and streetwear. A selection of skateboards and snowboards is also on sale on site. A highly recommended address, as much for its impeccable service as for its wide variety of models.

Snowboard, skateboard and surf enthusiasts meet here to stock up on equipment and streetwear. Everything from boards and bindings, skateboards, trucks and wheels, not to mention wetsuits, accessories of all kinds, and bags and cases to protect your new acquisitions. And it will cost you a fraction of what you would pay in Europe! Many Empire locations in the greater Montreal area and elsewhere in the province (see website for listing). Online store as well.
