Shark Tank's Robert Herjavec and Daniel Lubetzky Get on Board with Tandem Boogie's Body Surfing Board-for-Two
Sharks team up with five family co-founders to make every wave a "party wave"
NEW YORK, March 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- As announced on ABC's Shark Tank, KIND Snacks Founder Daniel Lubetzky has teamed up with cybersecurity expert Robert Herjavec to invest in family founded and run Tandem Boogie, creators of the Tandem Boogie Board which lets two people cruise a wave together on the same board. The two sharks seek to help the California-based Clark family-of-five to transform water sports into a community affair for everyone, even those who thought catching waves wasn't for them.
Expertly designed and engineered to make fun on the water more accessible and inclusive, the board's Dynamic AIR Design makes Tandem Boogie simple to pack up and fit inside a bag for beach transport and travel. Every board comes equipped with a pump and inflates to the same level of sturdiness as a foam board. Tandem Boogie's handles are strategically placed so that two people can ride comfortably together - and a functional action camera mount assures that no moment on the surf goes uncaptured.
Says KIND Snacks Founder and father of four, Daniel Lubetzky, "It would be a dream to work with my kids one day, so I love how the Clarks created a business in which every family member is involved. At a time when kids are often alone looking at their screens, the Tandem Boogie board can get families outside having fun together. But it's not just for families - I am energized about reaching all of the people like me who used to think that water sports weren't for them."
Says Shark Robert Herjavec, "I love having fun with my family out on the water so when the Clarks started their pitch, I was hooked from the very beginning. It's a simple, safe, and fun way to spend time together. I'm so proud to partner with this family business to help them scale to the next level as they continue to pursue their American dream. I can't wait to hit the waves with the Clarks!"
For the Clark family, getting two sharks on board to help them take their direct-to-consumer brand of premium boards to more people is a dream-come-true. They look forward to diving into the work ahead to introduce everyone to the fun of surfing Tandem.
Say Clark sisters Alleanna and Juliette, "We value family and love that both Daniel and Robert are so committed to their families. We really liked hearing about their personal stories as immigrants, because we also have immigrant roots. Our mother and co-founder, Manya, immigrated to the US when she was twelve years old and our parents were outsiders to the local surf culture. Knowing what it feels like to make our way in a new place, we are even more committed to creating an inclusive activity that welcomes everyone."
Tandem Boogie Boards retail for $459 a board on www.TandemBoogie.com.
