Wyatt, Geoff and intern Linsday had a great time speaking to 125+ high school students at HTHNC in San Marcos on Thursday, 17th. It’s always exciting to see kids ask intelligent questions, as many of the students did. It’s also nice to see a school put focus on sustainability, music and the arts, etc. We also hooked the schools art class up with decks to paint on for an upcoming art project. Photos to come soon!

Interview with BambooSK8 President Geoff Koboldt
Wednesday, March 16th, 2011http://www.bossstart.com/artistic/10-qs-with-geoff-koboldt-bamboosk8/
Growth, in terms of business, is necessary in order to survive. Some times, and in many markets, that growth can come at too high a cost to the environment. Geoff Koboldt of BambooSk8 is a highly conscious individual who’s actively growing business attacks these concerns. You might even call him an activist, and not just an entrepreneur. This is why we are pleased to feature him and his company in this weeks : “10 Q’s With…”; our question and answer series that’s aimed at offering insight to our readers who are interested in the ‘Adventure’ of becoming: The Boss.

Education is vital…
Japanese Tsunami benefit – $10/complete will be donated to RED CROSS
Friday, March 11th, 2011Our prayers are with the country of Japan and especially to our friends there who have been affected by the 8.8 magnitude earthquake. It might be ironic, but our 42″ double-kick longboard featured a Japanese tsunami graphic. We’d like to offer $10/complete or $5/deck to be donated to the RED CROSS to help the Japanese for those who purchase this tsunami deck. We thank you in advance for helping.
Specs: 42” x 9.25”
You can never go wrong with 2 double-kicks for that old school nostalgic feel of Dogtown days of summer. The art reflects a Japanese tsunami with the BambooSK8 boat making its way through the violent waters with birds flying through the horizon reflecting peace and tranquility; similar to the ecological stance BambooSK8 is taking currently as we change the paradigm to that of sustainable resources. Carve and charge through high-speed turns with no rubbing while enjoying that fresh breeze in your face as you bomb that hill or simply cruise the beach walk or college campus. The bamboo used in our decks come from managed bamboo forests and is of the highest quality; trust only the BambooSK8 name.

E-dubble – 2nd place winner with Reverbnation search – Green Washed Ritual II
Tuesday, March 8th, 2011
Link: http://www.facebook.com/EdubHipHop
e-dubble is an independent hip-hop artist from Baltimore, Maryland that released his debut album Hip Hop is Good in December 2009. Shortly after the release he began releasing a new song each week titled Freestyle Friday sampling artists from multiple genres such as Lykke Li, Yacht, Regina Spektor, Tom Petty, The Black Keys, The Cold War Kids, Health and even Guns N Roses. Just like his album Hip Hop is Good all of the Freestyle Friday were written, recorded and produced by him with the exception of the sample(s) used in the songs. In the final Freestyle Friday “Robots Can’t Drink” he brought everything full circle by sampling his own song “Robots Pop Songs” from Hip Hop is Good.
At a time when the music industry’s future is uncertain, labels and artist are coercing one another for profits and a genre filled with narcissistic personas e-dubble is doing things differently. His drive and focus are commendable on any level but what truly sets him apart is motive which can be summed up in his most recent 25 track mixtape Written Thursday. http://www.writtenthursday.com

$5,000 reward for prosecution of thieves in Oceanside office
Thursday, March 3rd, 2011On 3/2/11 at 4am, our offices were broken into. Despite the alarms going off and police there within a few minutes, the thieves were able to steal a personal laptop, a large screen + MAC, a fax machine, etc. We are offering a $5k cash reward to anyone who can supply information that leads to the prosecution of these losers. No questions will be asked – you can be anomynous at first; point is – we want to catch these evil crooks although KARMA will run its magic at some point.
No private information or credit card/payment information was stolen or compromised so no worries there as this stuff isn’t stored on the computers. All orders will go out as planned.
