A misguided inventor from Valencia, California has just solved a problem that no one really has. He’s designed a skateboard that breaks down into five smaller pieces for transport. Apparently a 32-inch skateboard is just too much for some kids.
Almost four years ago, company CEO, Brett Gregory, set out to solve a problem: “Many kids can’t bring their skateboards to school, the mall or while traveling due to space restrictions”. “How do you fit a full sized skateboard in a very small compartment in a kids backpack?” The answer is the Port-A-Board. It’s currently available in nine eye catching colors, allows kids to bring their boards anywhere, and has a “cool factor” that is simply off the charts.
Off the charts? The question Gregory apparently missed asking: why would a kid carry around a board in pieces that they’d be embarrassed to ride assembled? That’s right. They won’t.
