Global Board Shop Day: Tune-in With Mike Vavak

Board Shop Day is an annual event celebrating independent board shops that are vital to our Surf, Skate, and Snow industry. Building the Revolution founder Mike Vavak decided to create this event to honor board shops around the world.  “It’s been said before that Board Shops are the temples of our industry. Let’s protect our temples and celebrate them. “Is it too much to ask, that we ask for a day dedicated to the shops that created an industry and culture for many of us.”

The buzz is out there to celebrate this annual event that is going global and we caught up with Mike to learn more about why we should be celebrating independent retailers and whats in store for September 19th.
