Hi everyone...
Well... Bad & GOOD news...
The Bad:
Our manufacturer is having problems again this year, as he is always tardy with delivery times among other things. So we are in transition with a new manufacturer, and new manufacturing process. This has forced us to go on hiatus for 2007 and not ship this year. I was lead to believe that product was being built/was built, and ready to ship soon... I was basically feed a line of BS for the past few months as they just kept stringing us along which seems to be "Par for the Course" in the action sports industry. I hate being lied to and made into something our company doesn't stand for!!! and feel completely embarrassed we could not get product out this year... I sincerely apologize to everyone who reserved decks. I have everyone who reserved on a list and they will be given a discount and or extra something... if you decide to purchase from us next year. I'm not ready to commit to what or how much at this point, but we will make it worth the while.
The GOOD News:
If you own a 2006 Nick Taylor Model it is worth keeping a hold of ! Since it was a very limited run. A collector item that has a great used re-sale value if you decide to sell it. I get daily e-mails of people ready to snatch one up... and it makes a handy cutting board for BBQ parties.
Also...
We are gearing up to do some really innovative things for our next release. (The Dædalus Project) new shapes... New materials... new pro models... specifically "Taylor-ed" pun intended to Nick's wants & needs ... and Ryan Lemons' demands. Both family members will be instrumental in our R&D phase to fine tuning. We are actually very happy this turn of events has transpired, because it will enable us to build better product, and supply it in a timely manner.
Once again Sorry...
and thanks for your continued support.
Much Respect,
Integrity |

Sounds like some real good could come out of the new situation. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes _________________

Thanks for the update Schmaltz.
I really want an Integrity still though. The current boards on the website, is that all that remains of stock or are there still some 2006 models left around (only seeing 05 and prior)? _________________ They say the recipe for sprite is lemon and lime; I tried making that at home, there's more to it than that!

I feel your pain erich. I hate being forced to be the bad guy because of someone else's unreliability. But you handled it well, and I think I speak for the entire wakeskate family when I say "good luck with the new manufacturer, and we're stoked to see the new line when they are good and ready!!!!"
Thanks for the update |

Much Respect!! Sorry to hear about the manufacturer. "Under Promise. Over deliver" would be a great credo for the manufacturing world. Unfortunately, with a lot of Manufacturers, it's the other way around. _________________ Life's Kredo = "When the snake falls in love with the spagetti it's time to buy a new hat." & "I guess I need to whiskey up these corn flakes..and heroin up this Orange Juice." |
