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.
AOI TSUZUKI WELCOME TO ROMBIA
crossroads
I started skating around the time that i lost some childhood friends..
something only a select few will know.
but two of my best homies took part in my introduction to skateboarding...
there was something about the pain that just feel okay.
when i join the Marine Corps i didn’t think i would skateboarding again..
but here i am skateboarding with new homies in Hiroshima, trying to start a skateboard brand again like if i was back in high school.
its a whole new atomsphere then what i recall in high school.
i had this feeling that if i start a skateboarding company like i tried in high school. what do i want my brand to be about.
I was a brown corey duffel for the most part until i realized that i could not afford the luxury of buying new shoes or boards when i wanted moreover i also had to think about what i would be doing after high school and started to distance myself more from skateboarding.
Adulting was starting to settle in and at some point i got a girlfriend and started to do other things since she wasnt an artist not a skater.
