I really wanted to try that Hippy Slasher though, looks so fun. Wonder if they will have a demo in Whis.

Let me know if you find out. I’d be keen to demo as well. We can send photos to Mizu while he’s at work. smirk

I’ve got you on Block!!!!!

Hey guys just got an email back.

“Thanks for the interest! Yes there will be some boards for demo in Whistler and Nelson, BC in the coming weeks. email .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) with a demo request of date and model/length and location and we’ll try to accommodate.”

So when do you guys wanna demo these boards and the models? I’ll email them back ASAP.

Sounds great. The only problem is I don’t know exactly which dates I will be in Whistler until closer to the time. I am there next weekend for the AST 1 course, so that’s out. I assume I will be there the following Sunday/Monday… or whenever it snows. Hmmm.

So what should I say to them? I told them there are a few of us from BW that wants to demo them. I don’t think they’ll come for a demo if it’s only just me haha.

I think Sunday, December 21st, should be a safe call.

I can’t confirm right now. Make it for Saturday, and I’ll try to be there. I’m sure we can get some testers there regardless.

Akasha just got back to me.

“Hi Rico

We might possibly be on a road trip to the interior in that date. I won’t know for sure till the 15th. I’ll email if we will be away.

It sounds from your email it’s more than yourself that wants to demo a board? How many people?

Also all the Hippy Slashers are out of stock at the moment. I will be building more as soon as possible.

Let’s talk on the 15th to see if we can accommodate on the 20th.”

I’d be keen to join in for some kind of demo day as well. We’ll have to hope for some more snow though, beforehand!!

Jeremy, I’m going to send an updated email about the AST1 course - keep an eye on that grin
