Busy.

Some businesses in Wanaka start to wind down in April, May & June. 

And some.... gear up and start going 110km/h... like us. There are many changes and great things happening as we've been gearing up for winter 2010.

Matt & Greg have been working really really really hard at loading up all the winter gear for 2010, hardware, and now introducing outerwear.

But we've been MIA on the Blog front and for that we slack and apologise.

We've been hiring, updating the online shop, attending tech sessions, receiving winter stock, and more. so hopefully when you come in store and visit online.. you'll see we've been putting in the hard yards.

In the meantime.... Take a look at how awesome Wanaka is looking.....

winter is here.... it isn't coming..... It. Is. Here.

Nick Hyne reviews the Ride Machete

The man himself, Nick Hyne, reviews the 2011 Ride Machete, don't know bout you but i want to ride one!

 The Ride Machete is an amazing board - straight up FUN! I remember the first time I tried a Machete was on my first of riding for the season. I thought I would feel sketchy like usual and everything would feel hooky - not with the Machete - my first day back was magic. I am riding the 158 as my big powder board and it is by far the most stoked I have ever been on my powder board. You can bounce through the powder and the rebound is incredible - once again I will say it - FUN. The slight bit of rocker is stable for takeoffs but helps out a lot on landings, and feels amazing amazing to turn on too. The Ride Machete has won Good Wood awards and it is for good reason - it is a great board that most people who have ridden it, rave about.
