Yes it's true, we are well on our way to launching Maku' Furnishings. An idea that started out as a clever way for us to pay for surf trips to exotic lands has (almost) grown into a full on business. Samples have been made, catalogs are in process and we have even applied for the ICFF show in NYC this May, now all we need is some money and we are well on our way... LOL!
But the reality is Mike and I could have never gotten to this point without the help of some extremely talented people. Ricardo, Eneri, and Andre at Vapor Studios have done a killer job in seeing the Maku vision and bringing to life some really amazing products!
Julie at Grounded in Encinitas (http://www.shopgrounded.com/servlet/StoreFront) has been a huge help in giving us guidance and direction with all things furniture and as a sounding board for this project
Jeff and his crew at our production facility in Java are first rate people and we are lucky to have them on our production side. Despite Jeff being a Bengals fan and still holding onto the dream of a wildcard for the playoffs just so they can come out to SD and get whooped by the Bolts! (hahaha, just kidding Jeff!) Go Bengals, um yeah right... :)
The one thing that continues to amaze me about this project is the acceptance and willingness of some of the worlds top action sports athletes desire to be involved. To have Surfers Rizal Tanjung and Kassia Meador as well as Snowboarder Keir Dillon involved with us on this project is nothing short of incredible! These 3 athletes are not only amazingly good at surfing and snowboarding but they are some of the nicest people I have ever met! I think it just gives further proof positive that we are on the right track and there is a need in the marketplace for the products we are designing and selling. WOW!
Thanks to each of you for the support so far!!
