The RYU brand was created by a team of industry experts in 2015 that found a gap in the apparel market whereby the male athlete was underserved, the female athletic market was awash by a sea of sameness, and nobody was designing carry systems for active people to build their lives around. This team transformed the RYU brand and created a new category: Urban Athletics. RYU is the new standard of tailored innovation for the urban athlete.

About CBD of Denver CBD of Denver, Inc. (OTC:CBDD) a full-line CBD and Hemp oil company (“CBDD”) and a producer and distributor of Cannabis and CBD products in Switzerland, Europa and US. CBDD is focused on using equity to acquire profitable Swiss assets at attractive valuations to create value for all our shareholders driven by a passion to improve lives and strengthen communities by unleashing the full potential of cannabis. Through our brand Rockflowr and BlackPearlCBD we reach our consumers and have built up a strong customer base by focusing on top quality products and meaningful customer relationships. Black Pearl CBD has 0% THC, but is not an Isolate where the THC is stripped from the product rendering it ineffective. We use a proprietary technique adding terpenes as the activation ingredient, resulting in a product that is the finest in the industry and only available at CBD of Denver, Inc. is one of a handful of publicly traded CBD stocks. We are traded on the Over the Counter Stock Market under the symbol CBDD. As a publicly traded stock, this allows anyone the possibility of ownership in the rapidly expanding CBD market. Because we are publicly traded, we are bound by Federal and Interstate rules and regulations regarding CBD products. Offering products with 0% THC, allows us to work within these regulations. Understanding the CBD market is important, other products on the market are possibly imported from countries like China, are sold as a distillate resulting in less potency or a product that contains THC. The problem is that each state and country has their own rules and regulation regarding THC. Some states do not allow any products that contain THC, other states allow varying amounts of THC. That is why we post a lab report on all our products. OUR SUBSIDIARIES In Switzerland, we currently own two subsidiaries, Rockflowr, GmbH and CBD Welt 24, GmbH. Rockflowr, GmbH is a wholesale distribution company, which supplies CBD/ Hemp flower, CBD Oil, CBD Pollen and CBD biomass throughout Switzerland and Europe. Our distribution throughout Europe is growing by the day. CBD Welt 24, GmbH has vertically integrated the entire process of Hemp production from growing the hemp, lab extraction, and manufacturing. We utilize sustainable farming committed to the health of our customers and planet. We use drip irrigation, organic ethanol extraction, and natural pest deterrents such as pepper spray and lady bugs for all our products. We currently maintain 3 indoor grown facilities outside of Zurich, Switzerland and are looking to expand in the near future. In the United States, we currently own CBD Social Network and Black Pearl CBD. We are the only CBD company to own and release a comprehensive CBD Social Network (www.cbdsocialnetwork.com). The idea of the network is to connect CBD users from America and around the world to interact and discuss CBD uses, treatments and products. In recent months active users have doubled and we receive between 3,000 to 3,500 hits per day. In the future, this part of our operations could be an integral part our revenue structure. Black Pearl CBD (www.blackpearlcbd.com) is a manufacturer and an ecommerce retail sales unit that only sells the highest quality full spectrum CBD containing 0% THC. We do this through a process that removes the THC molecule from the CBD, then we remove the Terpenes from the THC and attach it to the CBD thus creating a full spectrum product. Other companies either leave the THC molecule and terpenes attached or strip it out completely. It is misunderstood, that the THC molecule is the activator for the CBD to be effective. It is not the THC, but the Terpenes that activate both the THC and the CBD. By removing the Terpenes and reattaching them to the CBD, we have a product that is effective and safe. Black Pearl CBD offers a full range of products from facial creams and sunscreens to all types of oils. All of products can be purchased at our ecommerce site www.blackpearlcbd.com.
