Convoy Skateboards was established in the summer of 2005. It is a skateboard company dedicated to portraying the best
possible image for skateboarding. The company is about giving back to an industry that gave so much to the founders as
they grew up. It is not about having the best "skate team" and not about blowing other companies out of the water, but
its main mission is to promote fundamental skateboarding and create the best products with the following qualities; fresh
and new designs, a positive attitude, and overall quality and performance, but most of all, promote having fun while doing
the thing you love; skateboarding!
The founders, Eamonn Bourke and Chris Reichert are well-seasoned skateboarders who have been skating and teaching others
to skate since they were young. They are not newcomers to the skateboarding industry, and over the past 14 years have skated
and snowboarded in numerous locations across the United States and Europe. Over the past few years though, they noticed a change
in the skateboarding industry and culture. They decided to establish their company to right the many things they felt were going wrong
with the industry. One of their main goals is to move the image and presence of skateboarding away from the mainstream and bring back
the core values and fun skateboarding offers to the youth.
