So I Got With a Sick Ass Clique and Went All Out
Published 9/12/2013 by Rob Meronek
I know you couldn't tell by my big exit, but when I quit my job at Skatepark of Tampa in early July this year, I was nervous, scared, worried, and all the other emotions that come with a big career decision like that. I've had all the best work and skateboarding years of my life at that place and I was walking away from it.
So, the day after my last day, I got straight to work on creating another job to continue the fulfilling work and good skateboard times.
I'm still nervous and scared that I will fall flat on my face. That part sucks. But, I'm also excited that I've been able to convince myself to put aside all the self doubt you face when you're trying to start something new. Seth Godin calls it the "lizard brain". Your lizard brain is constantly instilling fear and caution, preparing you to dart off and run from anything that's intimidating or unfamiliar territory. Here's to getting past that.
I joined forces with some of my favorite people who also parted ways with Skatepark of Tampa and we created a company called The Boardr. The team that made it all happen behind the scenes at SPoT all these years is back together and I couldn't be happier. Clements, Porpe, and I have a lot of work to do to rebuild something amazing, but the hardest step, getting started, has just been taken. Find out more about The Boardr and the products and services we offer.
Thank you for the support over the past years. I plan to continue to earn it over the future years. See you around at the skateboard shindigs.
Sincerely,Rob Meronek

Welcome to The Boardr
8/1/2013
Well I need somewhere to put all this silly crap I like to do like foot fetish, Nerdsday Thursday, skate photos, silly videos, and other random banter. So, I started The Boardr today after my last day at Skatepark of Tampa. The Boardr will house all the stuff I love about skateboarding plus a new system I'm creating to help people simply and easily run skateboarding events with a digital, mobile scoring system. Shortly after August, it then evolved into a full blown skateboarding professional services company where I'm partnered up with Ryan Clements. Thanks for stopping by.
An Official Bid'niss Milestone for The Boardr
11/19/2013
It's been a fun few months of building a company from scratch. Today, we set an accounting formality and officially started The Boardr payroll. The first four employees are Ryan Clements, Jorge Angel aka Porpe, Bob Freeman, and Rob Meronek behind the lens here. I wonder how long this is going to last? I would guess 2013 to infinity. Thank you for the support, thanks skateboarding for everything else, and here's to 2014! That other document Ryan is holding is another piece of important sentiment for us that I'll address in another post. I just wanted to have it in this memorable photo and early milestone.

Before construction, there must be destruction. After closing on our building last week, we're making progress on The Boardr Headquarters as you can see in these photos by Justin Ryan.
Construction Progress at The Boardr Headquarters
1/11/2014
Before we can build the skate stuff, we have to get the bill paying stuff done. That would be retail and office space. I can't wait to get started back in retail and customer service again. We'll be open for online orders in just a few weeks!
2013 Year in Review With The Boardr, SPoT Fallout, and More
12/31/2013
December 26, 2012: I'm starting this a few days prior to the end of the year last year. I was super happy with how 2012 went. We turned retail and margins around a few years prior and the health of the business was showing that, Justin Ryan's brand management in our shop was working great, SPoTlight Productions was killing it with worldwide events, the staff was hyped, and I proudly cheered to my partners (Clements, Schaefer, and Porpe) about how excited I was about 2013 coming to continue it all together.
Two Milestones at The Boardr This Week
1/23/2014
A couple things happened this week that made it seem that much more real with all this skateboard bid'niss building we're doing around here. We got our first order of retail inventory in and our first online registration dollar hit the account.
Construction Continues Both Digitally and Physically
1/26/2014
I've got a few more construction photos and an exciting announcement. We have a toilet!!! An epic milestone at The Boardr Headquarters. It's just a week away before we flip the switch on our little online shop that could. As I've mentioned, we're starting out small and growing slow.
The Boardr Store is Now Open Online
1/31/2014
Right now I'm in the back of a truck with Clements and Porpe as we drive across the state of Florida for some meetings and a special private event we're assisting with in West Palm Beach.Our mobile internet is running and this is where I'm flipping the switch from. The Boardr Store is now live and our first tiny baby step into retail has started.
Another Milestone: We Shipped Our First Little Stack of Orders Today
2/4/2014
Inventory's in and stuff's online now. We ended our first weekend of being digitally open with a few orders for The Boardr T Shirt and some other random stuff. It was a memorable day for us. I'm just documenting it with a few quick snaps. This milestone seems like it has caused the work to just get started. Good thing it's mostly skateboarding work because that's a pretty good time. If your name was in that pile, thanks for the support.
The Boardr Doors Opening Soon
2/20/2014
For the past couple of weeks we set up our offices inside the empty store at The Boardr. Looks like we need a new place to conduct the behind-the-scenes business since our first displays arrived today. Here are some photos of the progress. We open on March 3rd.
Join Us Monday for The Bland Opening of The Boardr Store
2/27/2014
That building in Tampa near the Bucs Stadium with no sign that you might drive right past? Yep, that's us at 4611 North Hale Avenue. There's no party, no fireworks, no naked ladies jumping out of cakes, and there's not even anything to skate! It's just the door opening up if you want to stop by and check out what we're up to here and maybe play a Game of SKATE on our glorious flatground in the empty TF. Join us for the low key, mellow ass, bland opening at 11am on Monday, March 3rd. We've got a lot of work left to do. Sometime down the road we'll make the real opening grand instead of bland.
Welcome to The Boardr Staff!

Retail might be dead as vert and slow as Nate Sherwood right now while we just get started, but the events side of things are stacking up nicely. You can't be running the documentation with one of my crappy cell phone edits. So what are we going to do about that? Clem has to crack the whip on Porpe to get it taken care of.
Welcome AYC to The Boardr Store, They Interviewed Us Instead
3/12/2014
This week we're welcoming Asphalt Yacht Club to The Boardr Store. Instead of me interviewing them, they flipped it around this time and interviewed me. We talked about skate business and retail being tough, times where my favorite shoes must be placed in my mouth due to loose lips on the keyboard, and all the nerdness I'm attracted to like stats and reports on skateboarding.

There's nothing to skate in here yet, so when the Shaqueefa crew stopped by The Boardr Store today, a flat ground and scraps session went down where HiDefJoe was there to point the lens. Thanks for stopping by, ya'll! Awww, it's our first video edit from the TF. Another baby milestone we stacked up here.
