“The opportunity to shape the future of the Boardworks line utilizing Rogue’s performance lineage is something we are stoked about,” said Boardworks’ new Brand Manager, Andrew Mencinsky. “Rogue complements a completely redesigned Boardworks line and our team is fired up about the launch of the brands and the future.”
