Benny Pellegrino | The Bomb Hole Episode 203

Benny Pellegrino knows what snowboarding is all about. His love for the culture bleeds through with every word he says. He comes from skating, with his roots well dispersed through the Bay Area in the early 80s. He loves a good punk show and like many of us, will go crazy if we don't get a board under our feet as often as possible. His experience running Milo Sport gives him a unique perspective on the industry and fuels his passion to support shops. Now, using this experience and perspective, he is a power house over at Nitro Snowboards and he continues to be an essential pillar in the snowboard industry. All this and much more on this week's episode of The Bomb Hole!
