Starting out as a seedbomb of love, fed on a diet of creativity and matured with a sustainable outlook - VeeBom is a 13 year old's dream grown over 20 years.<\/p>
As a child Devin (Dave) Zym found skateboarding and fell in love. For the rest of his life, his heart was filled by skateboarding and that is what defined him. Sounds like a fairytale, right?<\/p>
For as long as he can remember Dave has been driven by creativity. Impassioned by design and branding, this grew as the love for skateboarding became stronger and stronger. After studying carpentry he never followed a career path in his craft but, instead, decided that the skills learnt would be put to good use in upcycling used skateboard gear to create new, cool, things.<\/p>
Moving into adult life a truly important realisation came upon Dave, as he gained a deeper understanding of the impact skateboarding has on the environment. Furthermore, the world in which he lived was changing - for the better. People are noticing more what needs fixing but also what we can change.<\/p>
People are exactly that: people. We're not robots, we're not aliens and we don't have<\/em> to be boys or girls. That is awesome.<\/p>

Our three pillars are Seas, Trees, Steez - we aim to:<\/p>
Drive a reduction in waste sent to our seas and oceans.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>
Reduce deforestation in Canadian maple wood for the purpose of skateboarding.<\/p><\/li>
And look damn good while doing it - no matter who you are.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>
Our garms are responsibly sourced and 100% sustainable. We pack and deliver in recyclable paper and use zero plastic. We only print on demand, using responsible and less pollutive methods than traditional clothes printers.<\/p>
Our skateboards are 100% bamboo, which matures 10x quicker than traditional Canadian maple. We use a silk screen printing method, proven to reduce plastic waste sent to landfill. Wrapped and shipped to you in paper, instead of plastic.<\/p>
Our B-Skates range is 100% upcycled skateboard materials, to prolong usage of any used skateboard. Wrapped and shipped in paper.<\/p>
Our mission statement is to promote #SussedainableSkate but, equally, we want the world to know that #WeAreWokeboarding.<\/p>
