You know those boards that you just ride to the bar or the store where you're just doing nothing but pushing and thinking about the wind against you? Yep, cruisers. I call them "casual skateboarding." Everyone should have one from the rail chomper to the retired kickflipper. We got a stack in from Z-Flex and Penny that you can pick up and roll on now.

Porpe and I were blown away while we were opening the shipment that arrived from Santa Cruz with all the Star Wars boards in there. We got the blister pack decks, the Darth Vader special edition deck, and all the cruisers and longboards. Check out a few photos below and all our Santa Cruz skateboarders here.

For the past couple of weeks we set up our offices inside the empty store at The Boardr. Looks like we need a new place to conduct the behind-the-scenes business since our first displays arrived today. Here are some photos of the progress. We open on March 3rd.

We've been working with Dakine on all these am contests we've been running for more than a decade now. From being in most of the prize packs to being on our backs while we travel, Dakine has been with us all around. It's a pleasure to have them in stock as our first bag company in The Boardr Store.

Right now I'm in the back of a truck with Clements and Porpe as we drive across the state of Florida for some meetings and a special private event we're assisting with in West Palm Beach.Our mobile internet is running and this is where I'm flipping the switch from. The Boardr Store is now live and our first tiny baby step into retail has started.

We're dipping a toe into the shoe pool with a small initial run from our friends at DC Shoes. DC was started in skateboarding's golden era, the early 90's. I've heard two stories on what the initials stand for. At the time, Droors Clothing, associated with Danny Way and Colin McKay, was super hot. They started a shoe company and called it DC, for Droors Clothing. Or was it for Danny and Colin? I don't know, but when I see Danny Way at events we do, I'm always too intimidated to ask him.

We went to Portland this week to meet with adidas on some 2014 plans that are quickly coming together. We'll have an announcement on what we're up to on March 1st. While we were there, we visited their offices for the first time and hit up Silas to skate The Grotto for a while.
