Jamie Overbeek and Roode Boards end their collaboration after one year

Jamie Overbeek has announced the end of his one-year partnership with Roode Boards, the brand he helped develop the Graphite board with.

Jamie Overbeek has ended his collaboration with Roode Boards after one year. He announced the split on Instagram. Overbeek signed with Roode when the brand was brand new, had just launched its website and offered only a freeride board. He says testing that board convinced him of the brand's potential. The two then worked on prototypes of the Graphite, which Overbeek says gave him full confidence on a kiteboard for the first time. He thanked the Roode team for their effort in developing the board. The text does not say which brand he rides for next.
