Welcome to The Boardr Staff!
Published 3/7/2014 by Rob Meronek
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.
It's HiDefJoe!!
A key homie from our old team has joined us here at The Boardr. We've been around the world with him doing all kinds of skateboarding shindigs, parties, and sessions involving planes, trains, and automobiles. He was the media backbone when we made plans to create our YouTube show on Ride Channel in 2011. From there we created all kinds of features to document skateboarding, help promote our retail, and other silly edits to entertain ourselves and hopefully you. That homie is Joe Pelham aka HiDefJoe and we're all pretty excited about how much fun we're going to have with Joe back on our team. We'll have some announcements on everything Clements is yelling about soon.

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.
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.

An Updated Tour of The Boardr Store

We're continuing to slowly grow our Store, add new brands, and lay the foundation for our long term plans here at The Boardr which doesn't just include all these events we're doing.

Looking Back One Year After I Quit My Job and Started The Boardr
7/3/2014
All I knew was that things had irreversibly changed where I was and I had to move on and join up with Clements and Porpe who had left months earlier. It was a scary move with a kid on the way and no real plans. That was one year ago today. A lot of things have gone down since then. How about a recap? Let's start with a few high level numbers. As you know, I'm attracted to the digits.

Today marks another milestone for us and the how hyped we are to announce our second team rider. We could not be any more proud of Jereme Knibbs for putting this Welcome to The Boardr Team part together. We've watched him grow up and I'm hyped to say he's been raised by modern day wolves, that being skateboarding, the real ones, and turned into one of everyone's favorite.
