Oceanside, CA, November 21, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Bamboo Skateboards will proudly be partnering up with ROOZT.com to showcase their eco-friendly, socially conscious skateboards at a valuable holiday price on NBC’s Today show. Tune in to the fourth-segment of the Today Show, hosted by Kathie Lee and Hoda, between 10 AM and 11 AM, on black Friday, November 23rd.
President and owner Geoff Koboldt stated, “As social entrepreneurs ourselves, we are thrilled to join forces with Roozt.com and showcase our amazing skateboards to a wider national audience. We are happy to help offer exceptional savings so kids can have a happier holiday season during this tougher economical climate that many of their parents are still facing. Every purchase will impact society positively and we are 110% committed to activating change one deck at a time. ”
A variety of complete high-quality bamboo skateboards will be offered exclusively at www.Roozt.com, starting on November 23rd through November 30th. For $65, including shipping, one can get a complete skateboard, which includes the deck, trucks, wheels, bearings, hardware and grip tape. The MSRP is $120.
Bamboo skateboards are manufactured from managed bamboo forests and help reduce the environmental impact against traditional maple manufactured skateboards, which often lead to maple deforestation. The boards are known for their strength, lightness and amazing POP, which is the #1 feature. The company has built into it’s corporate DNA a “100 decks for 1” program, in which, every 100 decks sold earns 1 free skateboard to an at-risk youth. This is coupled with the fact that most decks are directly tied to benefit charities and non profits such as World Wildlife Fund, Red Cross, Grind For Life, Standup for Skateparks, Musicares, Surfrider Foundation, etc.
An array of ethical, humanitarian and eco-friendly products will also be displayed during the news segment. From trendy new wallets, to charity driven watches, eyewear, belts and classic wood paneled headphones, the Today Show will have something that the whole family will be stoked on. These awesome brands include Mighty Wallets, Flex Watches, United by Blue, Blenders Eyewear, Better Buddies and Project Repat.
