The History of Rome Snowboards

Founded by Josh Reed and Paul Maravetx, Rome SDS (Snowboard Design Syndicate) was launched in 2001. Having previously worked for Burton they believed that the snowboard companies needed to put a lot more care and a little less mediocre products on the market. Rome Snowboards is geared towards the pursuit of fun and ties into the “cultural foundation” of snowboarding where both co-founders believe that the "philosophical aspects of snowboarding brands are more important than in other industries."

Taking the philosophy back to the early days when snowboard had an almost anti-establishment ideology, Rome SDS steered away from more conventional marketing techniques and provided downloadable posters on their website with slogans such as "Corrosion of the Corporate", "Defy, Defect, Disrupt", and "You can't reform snowboarding".

Josh Reed and Paul Maravetx decided to team up with snowboarders like Jonaven Moore, whose edgy stunts are popular with hard-core snowboarders AJ Rosche, Marius Otterstad, Bjorn Leines, Casey Neefus, Jesse Fox, and JussiTarvainen rather than going mainstream and only sponsoring Olympic Snowboarders.

Rome sells 13 snowboard models in varying sizes, as well as bindings, gloves, bags, and other apparel.
