Hip-hop singer Snoop Dogg launches the Snoop Dogg Board Company (SDBC), with a complete line of long and short skateboards, accessories and backpacks.

"Bing Worthington, Jr., Snoop Dogg's brother, came to us with a vision of bridging these two industries together because there is already so much crossover between skateboarding and the rap/hip-hop market," said Duane Pacha, President of Pentagon Distribution.

The decks will be manufactured with a high standard of quality, yet will have competitive pricing to reach the general public. The agreement also includes a complete line of lifestyle/high-end Snoop Dogg luggage and travel bags, which will launch in January 2006.

"We are excited to work with the Pentagon group," Worthington said. "These guys are definite hustlers in this business. With our music industry connections and concerts, we know this project is going to get big".

"We are down with skateboarding and want to get more music fans into skateboarding," commented Worthington.

SDBC is currently looking for qualified international distributors to represent Snoop Dogg Board Co. For more information visit www.snoopdoggboardco.com.
