Nick Rozsa for Penny Skateboards!

We are super excited to announce that RPRT client Nick Rozsa has signed on as the first athlete on Penny Skateboards. Penny, hailing from Australia, has hit on the hottest new trend of plastic retro skateboards from the 70’s. Penny boards are one of the fastest selling items in both surf and skate shops around the world. Nick Rozsa has staged a massive comeback in the surf industry with the release of his “Homegrown” series. As a lifelong skater, signing with Penny made sense to Nick since he actually rides one daily to check the waves!

Welcome edit will be live on the PENNY site tomorrow.
