We've been pestering and begging our Smith Sales Rep to get us the keys too the SMITH SLIDER LIMO all winter so that we could bring it down to the Sandbar for the slider boys. I Just spoke with our Smith Optics Rep and he has come through for us. We'll be bringing down the SMITH OPTICS SLIDER LIMO down to the Spit for the demo weekend. For safety reasons, the driver will likely have the Limo parked at the sandbar parking lot and for the party on Saturday and then on Sunday he'll bring it down to the Spit for the Liquid Force Team to slide for a photo/video shoot. June 14-15 will be the most bad-assed weekend of the summer!!!!

I'm riding the guys Mystic Firestarter and it gives a lot of support since it is so wide and I have a short waist, but I'm limited to amount of bending I can do at the waist because it is so wide on me. I would appreciate some girl harnesses to demo before throwing $200 at a new one that I might not like. Bet some of the guys would like to try mine too. Its also good to know what size to buy.

This weekend will be so off the hook it will hands down be the best weekend of the summer, next to the Kiteboard 4 Cancer Event.

That's why the big boys want to come to the hood, for a little bit of boot camp training from the inept crew, and that's why we're rolling out the red carpet.
