When I was in college, I lived in a rundown house with 9 other guys. Pretty much all of them rode skateboards. Most people would have a coat or shoe rack at their front door. We had a skateboard rack. I was the one guy who didn’t ride a board, because I did not want to suffer the embarrassment of coming home bloodied and with ripped clothes. I kept my action sporting to crawling through gorges to find undiscovered fishing spots. Now, I’m not sure where my buddies bought their skateboards, but I’m pretty sure that had they known about Bamboo Sk8, they would have considered them. Bamboo Sk8 is an Oceanside, CA based company that uses natural products (bamboo possibly) to make sustainable skateboards.
If you’re into action sports and sustainability, there couldn’t be a better company for you to intern at than Bamboo Sk8. They look like an insanely cool company, and they even seem to be getting a decent amount of press for being a great place to work. Their About page offers a ton of information on the company, and they also have a fantastic Internships page that features profiles of each class of interns that they’ve had. The only thing that it is lacking is actual internship postings, but if you do a quick Google search, you can get the specifics on what types of positions they’re trying to fill. I’ve seen mostly posts about Marketing Generalist internships, but there may be some other opportunities (it may also help to check out intern profiles to get a sense of what other interns have done). There’s also an Interns Blog that will give you more information on what it’s like to be an intern. Once you’ve sold yourself on Bamboo Sk8, you can apply by sending a résumé and cover letter to molson@bamboosk8.com, just remember that they’re unpaid.
