BWA Champion John Skye will be riding with all RRD gear for 2010. From now on, “Skyeboy” will not only be using RRD boards, but also sails, mast, booms, extensions and even Stand up boards. It will be a pretty exciting time for him as he will also be part of the R&D team developing all the RRD gear, as well as continuing to compete on the PWA and BWA tours as well as travel and sail as much as possible all around the world!

John Skye: “It has been great to be part of the RRD family for the last 18 months using their boards, so when I had the opportunity to 100% join the team I could not refuse. The gear all looks fantastic and to be involved in the development side of it too is a pretty exciting new challenge. After using the gear for the first time, I really like it and now I cant wait to get some more quality time on it.”


Roberto Ricci’s words: “With a person like John joining the new department of sails, rig components and SUP, I feel to have found the right professional person to develop the new generation of products for committed board riders that choose to perform with outstanding products developed for less talk and more time in the water. John is a very committed rider that loves to develop new products but over all loves riding with style and passion. Our roads have joined at the proper time to prepare the ground for the next level. Now it’s time for action!”
