The Boardr Store is Now Open Online
Published 1/31/2014 by Rob Meronek
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.
We've got just a handful of brands right now with more and more baby steps coming soon. We'll hopefully be pushing with adult leaps as the year progresses. Speaking of pushing, shoes are coming soon. I miss the shoes.
For shipping, we're doing a flat $5 to anywhere in the continental US to start out with. If it looks economical, we may move to free shipping.
It feels real good to have another milestone checked off the list today. We've got other projects and announcements coming soon. Thanks for your support and following along with everything we're trying to build in skateboarding here at The Boardr.

Our First Apparel Brand: Welcome RIPNDIP
2/3/2014
RIPNDIP is a clothing company started right in our backyard, next city over, Orlando, Florida. I remember years ago how their crew would show up super-deep at local Florida contests we were running. Next thing you know, the quality of their gear became top of the line and you started seeing them everywhere from The Berrics, to all over the streets of California. Congrats to our homies from the neighboring city for building an apparel brand proper.

You Need Some Casual Skateboarding In Your Life

You know those boards that you just ride to the bar or the store where you're just doing nothing but pushing and thinking about the wind against you? Yep, cruisers. I call them casual skateboarding. Everyone should have one from the rail chomper to the retired kickflipper. We got a stack in from Z-Flex and Penny that you can pick up and roll on now.

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.

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.
