George Bryan joins Monkey Business Skim team
Tuesday July 12th, 2011, Laguna Beach CA.
It’s finally offical Monkey Business is proud to welcome George Bryan to the skim team.
George pulls into a perfect one at the Wedge
“I’ve wanted to add a skim program to our brand for years and it was the right time to put it together. Skimboarders always ride skateboards to and from the beach or when there aren’t any waves, so it’s a perfect fit for our brand to develop unique skateboard products for the best skimboards. George is a true legend of the sport, no other person has laid the foundation for the future of skimboarding more than George. There’s no question that skimboarding wouldn’t be what it is today without him and we couldn’t be happier to have him part of our team” says owner Mike Patton.
From pioneering progressive side wave riding to launching 10th St Bros with his brother Bill, together they’ve produced the largest skim video’s on the planet, George has been leading the core skim market for over a decade.
“I am extremely psyched about my boy Geo coming onboard with us at Monkey Business, he and I go way back to the days of link-n-logs. Having Geo in the mix will be huge in solidifying the foundation of our skim program – run by real skimmers for real skimmers. Its on like that!” – Chris Rudolph…
“I am really happy to be part of the Monkey Business team. The company is showing increased support for skimboarding for the right reasons. It is great to work with somebody that understands the importance of creativity, authenticity, and most importantly, good times. My friendship with Monkey Business owner Mike Patton, began in South Laguna during the early nineties. Because of his stoke of skimboarding, he spent his off time filming Chris Rudolph, my brother, and I at 10th Street. This was during it’s heyday and the footage helped shape our first skimboard film, SOULAG. Mike was influential in many aspects of early professional skimboarding and I look forward to working with him, and Monkey Business, in the future.” – George Bryan
Expect to see George’s personal touch in directing the future of our brands skim program around the world.
