The Birds are here

Easter weekend in Wanaka is a crazy time, especially when Warbirds over Wanaka is on, with an extr 100,00 people in the region it was always going to be busy. Our Annual Easter Sale proved a great success and the weather really turned it on with blue skies and no wind for most of the weekend.
But now it's back to the grind stone with plenty to do. I've started loading 2009 K2 snowboards
and i'll be adding more this week. I'm taking preorders for all 2009 product for delivery as soon as we can get the gear which should be over the next 4 - 5 weeks. 2009 Ride boards and 2009 Rossi skis will also be loaded next week.
A big thanks to Jas and Johnny for coming and helping out in the shop over the Easter break.
We've got new winter stock already arriving with 686 already in and 32 boots arriving today. Will be getting this stuff up on the site as fast as possible.

Go well, Live Large

Tokyo Town then Home

After our arduous journey to Tokyo as detailed in my previous post it was a relief just to get some sleep in a real bed rather then a train seat. After some much needed rest Tokyo turned on the charms with perfect sunny weather( still cold though) and we hit Shibuya for some shopping, and it has to be said Japan is one of the best places to shop anywhere, with something for everyone from upscale boutiques and department stores to quirky second hand clothing stores and specialty stores. If you're a sneaker freak, tokyo is heaven with crazy kicks in zillions of colours. The toy stores were off the hook also with either 5 story mega stores with every stuffed toy ever made or crazy comic stores with life size star wars characters to Mr T Bobble heads.
After a second day of shopping and site seeing we were well ready for our overnight flight back home. Thankfully this part of the trip was totally uneventful.
Once back in Wanaka it was back to business and here i am getting back to sending out customer orders and writing orders for next years stock.
Stay tuned for the lowdown for some great specials we've got coming up and new 2009 Boards and Skis available soon.

peace
