I can't post this on socials at this point because your deck will look better, your wheels will roll better, and you'll have real axles that fit instead of machine screws and thus won't make that infernal sound.
Speaking of screws, I will throw in 1 extra of the medium deck screws so you can mount a GoPro, like so:
So don't throw it away ;)
Eazy 👌
PS: I shoot in Linear + HyperSmooth -- this is how you get the effect of the deck moving around in the frame while the camera and deck are physically rigid.
It's the delay. Get it?

-Is when this can^ hits L.A. Then to Oakland, and then I should have everything in my hands by the 11th-12th at the latest.
I have cleared my schedule - going to pack everyone's shipment personally over the weekend and then send everything out ASAFP.
This is (finally) the beginning of something crazy! Watching snowboarding on the X-Games recently truly blew my mind all over the wall. Unlike the dawns of surfing or skateboarding, I was there - in the first days of snowboarding. On the mountain. Stinking it up with my friends.
The first snowboards were so crook -- if you don't believe me watch "Dear Rider" the Jake Burton story. Actually watch it anyway, it is profoundly awesome. 🥹 Seriously
So is "Dogtown and Z-Boys" for that matter, and you can see Skip, Godfather of Skateboarding and the OG Seaskate fan.
Anyway the point is: We are already so far beyond the early snowboards. I have unlimited confidence. Because the potential of this thing is infinite.
New shop is up and almost swapped into the site. Still messing with shipping profiles/zones/markets/gobbledygook but you guys don't need to worry about that. Feel free to poke around though and let me know what you think!
If you aren't barfing at me saying thank you by now ... Thanks again for your straight-up Stoicism on this fever-dream crusade into the Ether. You guys are the GENESIS CREW, and this list is CLOSED forever.
I will always hook you up 👊

Even if I had any profits at this point, this would still be devastating. I'm doing everything I can over here - believe me - every month that goes by with no product to sell costs me the kind of interest that makes you want to scratch your eyes out.
So we have to cargo it all (by sea). The Wizard is driving everything to the port in 2 days -- Fri Dec. 20. He is even covering the cost 🙏
(Bob is not in Semiconductor-Taiwan. He is in tiny surf village/typhoon-Taiwan on the opposite end of the island)
Estimated date of arrival to me in California is Jan 26th - Feb 2nd.
*Barring any US Customs shenanigans*
I will get everything packed and out the door with lightning speed. I am an absolute weapon of health AND stubbornness.
Much love guys and girls and apologies again.

Quick Update on Shipping Costs

Dearest Brigade,
I've finished manually entering the most US states and nearly a dozen countries we'll be shipping to - thinking that would be enough - but apparently I need to manually enter all the prices too, LOL
(Shoutout to Germany & Australia! You guys crushed the international counts. I am honored by such brilliant engineers and surfers 🥰 ... Hopefully that's not racist)
I don't want to charge you guys a single yen more than necessary ( + no "handling fee"), so please give me a day or two more on the shipping notification email.
I will first make a wood box in the same dimensions as the smallest cardboard box that I think will fit everything, just to be sure. So much for driving to LA today to pick up the Day Packs :P I'll do it next Monday.
The good news is YOU shouldn't have to do anything 🎉 Backerkit will just charge your same card a couple days after the notification and you'll be good to go.
If you want to come pick yours up in Norcal that works too. Free lessons! I see a lot of Bay Area ppl :)
