BAMBOO’N

Hey, all you peeps!! My name is Ryan Sandru, and I am stoked to be accepted into BambooSK8′s 12th intern class!! I heard about BambooSK8 a while back and was pleasantly surprised to discover the innovative, superior, and eco-friendly skateboards that the company produces. I was born and raised in North San Diego County and I’ve been skatin’ for a long time. I never seen anything like BambooSK8! I am fortunate to be working with such awesome people at a great company.

In 2003, I left San Diego and moved to Pasadena, CA. I studied Illustration at the Art Center College of Design from 2004 to 2006. I quickly discovered that I couldn’t swing the tuition of $15,000 per semester!! I took some time off and finally finished my degree at Cal State Fullerton. I majored in Graphic Design in 2010, and that was that. I missed San Diego the entire time that I lived in L.A. County! I didn’t want to be an actor or famous musician… I wanted to work in the skate capitol that is San Diego. As soon as I could, I moved back home.

Here I am BambooSK8!! Working for a skate company isn’t as easy as it may seem. It is definitely a professional and task-driven environment. But I wouldn’t have it any other way! After all, you can’t learn anything under any other circumstances.

We are currently wrapping-up the second week, and I can wait for future weeks. Nice to meet you all!!!! SK8 the BAMBOO!!!!
