An Updated Tour of The Boardr Store
Published 4/18/2014 by Rob Meronek
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. It includes retail. I love the sketchy skateboard industry and everything about it. If you're not part of it, I hope you get to work in it someday. There's never a dull moment. If you haven't been to The Boardr Store in a while, I've got a few photos for you.

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.
More Milestones at The Boardr: Course Planning Begins and Our First Retail Customers' Support

There's so much going on here from events planning to systems work to physical buildout to financial stuff to skate park ideas that I can't even keep track of where I'm at and what I've documented. We're working smart and steady here still putting our 2014 together while I pause here for an update. Our tenants in the other half of our warehouse are now out so we can start figuring out what will work for our facility to play with our skateboards in.

Welcome Dakine to The Boardr Store
2/16/2014
We've been working with Dakine on all these am contests we've been running for more than a decade now. From being in most of the prize packs to being on our backs while we travel, Dakine has been with us all around. It's a pleasure to have them in stock as our first bag company in The Boardr Store.
Welcome DC Shoes to The Boardr Store
2/11/2014
We're dipping a toe into the shoe pool with a small initial run from our friends at DC Shoes. DC was started in skateboarding's golden era, the early 90's. I've heard two stories on what the initials stand for. At the time, Droors Clothing, associated with Danny Way and Colin McKay, was super hot. They started a shoe company and called it DC, for Droors Clothing. Or was it for Danny and Colin? I don't know, but when I see Danny Way at events we do, I'm always too intimidated to ask him.
Welcome Elephant Skateboards to The Boardr Store
3/6/2014
Mike V has been one of the hardest working dudes in skateboarding since he started skateboarding. I remember as a kid seeing him in the early Powell days at Cheap Skates in PA doing these half cab method airs to fakie on the mini-ramp and just having to pick my jaw up off the ground. Elephant Brand is his new project that includes Jason Adams and two close friends of The Boardr, Kyle Berard and Neal Hendrix. Mike's also the new frontman in Black Flag. It's all good all around with Elephant and Mike V's crew. We're hyped to have his gear in at The Boardr Store.
Welcome to The Boardr Staff!
3/7/2014
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.

Gift Ideas for the Homeless Skateboarder
12/9/2014
I was recently in San Francisco in the Haight Street neighborhood which led to the idea of catering to the homeless skateboarder. These days, homeless certainly doesn't mean poor, as we find more and more of our friends choosing to live this way. We got you with these goods to keep you tight on the streets whether you're skating or living or both.
