.:LA SKATE TRIP

Rombia’s first skate trip!

I was meeting up with the homies from Japan Aoi and Kotaro, with my old Marine buddy, Dan, who is going to be our guide around the streets of Los Angeles.

Aoi and Kotaro were getting footage for an upcoming skate vid they are putting together, so they hit all the major spots.

Dan and I were catching up as we explored the Santa Monica, Venice, and Koreatown.

The sun was shining and it was a perfect LA skate trip.

Looking forward to the next one.

KAYLYN M. DART

Nothing more lovely than summertime in Japan! In this photo shoot with Kaylyn, it was beautiful. Visiting a personal favorite area in Iwakuni & having Rombia's first experience doing a photo shoot. i, a visual creative & she, a model were inexperienced and lacked a plan.

For the most part, we both were not sure as to what to make of it, but nonetheless we rode.

A learning experience & a fun time.

SPRING 2014

La primavera en Japón is like no other atmospheric freshness I've ever experienced.

The Misen climbing path in febrero may have led to my aspiration to sponsor skaters.

How can you be a skate brand and not sponsor skaters?

I had aspired to sponsor and support skaters, snowboarders, artists, and musicians.

Which led to Rombia's first set of shirts.

Before we could run we needed to crawl.

WINTER 2013

As Rombia entered the end of 2013:

Creatively, it was growing; possibilities seemed endless.

Japan was a consistent essence of innovation & inspiration.

設立 2013

Rombia came into fruition while on duty in the winter.

It had always been in the back of my mind since high school, & at that time it was impurefect.
