Combining the love of animals and long boards might seem like a trivial pursuit; Hendrick Boards creates skateboards with proceeds donated to all nonprofit animal rescues across the nation. Between 20% to 40% of the proceeds from skateboard and long board sales are donated.
These eco-friendly and handcrafted bamboo skateboards are meant to target a new audience. Ushering in a younger, more alternative group, Hendrick Boards bridges the gap between cool and charitable work. The unique design of the Hendrick skateboards allow for a supplied clear grip tape to allow the artwork and wood to be revealed. This exclusive design is another reason to purchase the product. Skating down the west coast board walk never felt so good.
