Much needed progress report

Oh Yeah, I am supposed to do this. So here is the season thus far. We shifted gears a little on production this year. Brought it back to where it all started, in Sandpoint. Grinded through the Christmas game, and are happy we got everyone's orders out on time. Since that time, we have been busy going all directions.
We have been bringing back the winger model, which allows us to reach a lower price point without compromising durability. Thanks to Batwaves teamriders Dash and Kix Kamp, along with Jake Mehrens, Batwaves teamrider and Ski coach for Schweitzer's SARS freeride team for all of thier imput. Skis, yes I said it. These mitts are designed to fit in those straps on those ski poles much easier. We are very exited about these mitts, both from a cost point, as well as fit and of course durability. The freeride team will be showing them off at USASA Nationals this year, and will be available for the masses next season.
I have had the opportunity to be involved with the USASA Inland Northwest Series this year, both as a judge at some of the events, and as a PROUD SPONSOR. This series has some of the best competetors in the country. Dash and Kix Kamp, along with Ashlyn Parker, Logan Sanborn and possibly even her dad Dave are among the Batwaves team riders attending Nationals this year at Copper. Huge thanks to Dave and Courtney for letting me be a part of the big show, you guys do a great job with these events!
Canyon, my two year old has been getting in some days on his little Burton Chopper, hopefully some of the video will turn out. I didn't try my Burton board out much, I guess I love my Libtech it is bomb!
In more important news, my awesome wife is about to have another baby boy. Like maybe today or tomorrow and she is awesome. Can't wait! Really though, today or tomorrow.
