I read in the Skamania County Pioneer that the port is going to build a new building in North Bonneville and lease it to Slingshot...

Any of you slingshot insiders know if you will keep some kind of office at the launch?

HAHahAHAHAh the rumor mill is hard at work again....

I'm pretty sure we ain't going no where with all this rain. We do have a legit wake board program so maybe we might move to Florida...

Lets ask the magic eight ball if were gonna move or not.... who's got it? Rolling Eyes

Looks like 100'.

Support your local brand, isn't that what you guys from Slingshot are always saying?

There is a local brand here called The Slider Project. We could use some lovin too!

Well, it was fairly obvious from the newspaper article that you will be moving into a new building in North Bonneville (near the gas station on the south side of the tracks if people know that area at all). Just curious if your going to move the whole show or you just need more warehouse space.

No magic 8 ball? Haven't seen it for awhile.

Correct that is 100Ft long and is located at the Projects in FL.

Forrest, one sponsor at a time my friend. Hopefully someday we can get something together for your project. I'm pretty sure your not a brand but a project or organization to grow and progress the wake-style and rail movement.

Correct me if I'm wrong?

You're right, but we've obviously lost you guys to our competitors. Sad

The Projects is a sick idea, would love to get something like that going for kiting some day!

Bummer if they left Stevenson, but super awesome if they manage to create a new launch elsewhere (in the Gorge.)

Maybe another kite company can move into the Stevenson spot. Naish? They already moved into Slingy's old office once Very Happy

So what's the point of supporting your cause; when we have already lost you to our competitors...? Seems pretty bias toward brand A or B. Why would Slingshot put effort towards something that seems already befriended.

Isn't an organization/movement something that brings people together then pushing them away...

I'm not sure I'm following Schey... Wasn't trying to be an ass, was just sad/depressed cause there is no Slingshot slider here in the Gorge. It ain't a big deal.
