WHO WE ARE

www.bamboosk8.com

BambooSK8 is an ecologically-based skateboard brand and manufacturer of high quality skateboards and longboards made of sustainable bamboo from managed forests. We are social entrepreneurs who believe that giving back to our communities is as equally important as profits. We service core shops, brands, and individuals around the globe while providing a solidified partnership and unique experience with each. We have been a part of action sports and skateboarding our whole lives and now passionately hope to inspire others to take actionable steps towards preserving our natural environment.

At the ASR (Action Sports Retail) show, BambooSK8 was recognized as a top innovator by ASI (Action Sports Innovators). BambooSK8 has been featured on NBC, FOX5, and CW6 news broadcasts across the country as well as receiving major publicity with Transworld and Fuel TV. In addition BambooSK8 has been recently been featured in Ecotistic Magazine, Concrete Wave, and TransWorld Business. In December 2011, two of our skaters placed highly at TAMPA AM, and in April 2012 one of our riders placed 12th at PHOENIX AM.

STRENGTH

www.bamboosk8.com

• The #2 feature of our boards

• Lasts longer

• Less razor tail

• Due to the increased strength from the density of bamboo, skaters can push the envelope of difficulty, while maintaining the confidence that their board won’t break

SUSTAINABILITY

www.bamboosk8.com

• We chose bamboo because of its endless renewability as a resource, and its minimal effect on the environment.

• Skateboarding took over flooring in 2008 as a major contributor of maple deforestation, our mission became to explore other ways of making skateboards.

• Bamboo not only aids in creating better boards, but is also a socially responsible choice.

GIVING BACK

www.bamboosk8.com

Giving back to the community is an integral part of who BambooSK8 is. We officially launched the “One Deck at a Time” program in 2012 and since then, many decks have been supplied to at-risk youth. In addition to our own programs, we support many charities and organizations through fundraisers, deck sales, and partnerships such as the ones below.

All BambooSK8 decks are a combination of bamboo and maple resulting in the strongest and most durable board yet. The bamboo provides for not only sustainability, but extra flex and pop with two layers of maple for extra concave. Short decks are 6-ply, longboards are 5-ply as shown below.

All BambooSK8 decks have a small non-invasive heat stamp. This lets our customers feel confident that they are getting a legitimate quality product straight from our factory.

REVIEWS

www.bamboosk8.com

We [Sutsu] have been using BambooSK8 for our deck manufacturer for the last two years and every season we get new converts to bam-boo. BambooSK8 decks are by far the best decks on the market. They are stronger, got more pop and are far more sustainable than the

standard maple. Over in the UK, Bamboo decks are still in their infancy, but each season we get rave reviews from skaters all over the country. Once they have tried Bamboo they never go back. -- Sutsu - London, England

“BambooSK8 decks are the best mixture of pop, feel, strength, and durability. My deck lasted me a good strong two months. How long did all my maple boards last? Just about a month and by that time they were thrashed. BambooSK8!” - Jake Burns

“BambooSK8 boards are so sick! I would definitely prefer them over any other deck because of their crazy pop, amazing concave, and of course the fact that they are made out of bamboo; helping the environment! :)” - Adrian Munoz

“If you are reading and looking to buy a deck... This board is so worth it... it’s light, has a lot of pop, and it is really strong. My kick flips are triple kick flips now. In a competition between maple vs. bamboo... Bamboo wins hands down! No question about it, BUY THIS DECK! -Jaymes Houser
