Calvin “Snoop
Dogg” Broadus, superstar rapper, is now venturing into the world of skateboarding
with the launch of the Snoop Dogg Board Company (SDBC).
The company will launch
with a complete line of long and short skateboards, accessories and backpacks.
SDBC is being distributed
by Pentagon Distribution, the distributor for Kampus Wakeskates and shoes, Academy
Snowboards and CD Wakeboard Bindings.
"Bing Worthington,
Jr., Snoop Dogg’s brother, came to us with a vision of bridging these two industries
together because there is already so much crossover between skateboarding and
the rap/hip-hop market,” said Duane Pacha, President of Pentagon Distribution.
The decks will be competitively
priced and in addition to the skate accessories, SDBC will launch a complete
line of high-end Snoop Dogg luggage and travel bags, which will hit stores in
January 2006.
"We are excited to
work with the Pentagon group,” Worthington said. “These guys are
definite hustlers in this business. With our music industry connections and
concerts, we know this project is going to get big. We are down with skateboarding
and want to get more music fans into skateboarding," commented Worthington.
SDBC is currently
looking for qualified international distributors to represent Snoop Dogg Board
Co. For more information visit www.snoopdoggboardco.com.
