Professional skateboarder Willis Kimbel, a prominent member of the Portland skating community, has planted his flag in his community with the launch of his own skate shop, Rip’s Co. Whether exploring Oregon’s nature, shredding at Burnside or skating a backyard pool, you’ll always find him with his SOUNDBOKS 4 (what a beast of a speaker!). Peep the video below, Willis is really hiking with that thing on his back! Peep Chris Russell stick an invert on it too!
„Kimbel has always been known as the guy responsible for the music. After spending years touring the world on his board, experiencing new cultures, and shredding with the Portland skate community, music has become a constant way for Kimbel to connect with people and have fun.“
„His SOUNDBOKS speaker has allowed him to do just that, creating thousands of moments alongside others. When turning his favorite Bluetooth speaker on, he can witness excellent connections, lifelong friendships, and core memories. This is one of the big reasons he chose SOUNDBOKS over other speakers. Having experienced firsthand how they draw people in and shock them, Willis knew he could be responsible for countless good times.
Because Willis is always on the road, he also needs a speaker that can withstand countless situations. Whether in nature, shredding on his board, at the skate shop, or hanging out with the homies, Willis needs a speaker like the SOUNDBOKS, where the vibes are going all day long.“

Check out Willis wailing on guitar in the SOUNDBOKS clip. Is it waterproof? From the speaker’s website description: „Say hello to our not-so-little friend.
The SOUNDBOKS 4 is really loud. Too loud to describe, to be honest. Beyond its insane volume, it sounds so full and crystal clear that you’ll hear your favorite songs like never before.
Built to handle the realities of any party, its stocky frame is splashproof and very durable. No bump or drop will stop it from doing its thing. The grill also pops off quicker than ever, allowing you to customize in your own style.
It’s super simple to use, too. Bluetooth makes it quick to set up, connecting with other SOUNDBOKS is no problem, and the swappable battery has 40 hours of playtime.“
