A BIG high5 to Charles and crew down at Mixture in San Diego. They are our newest retail partner. I am honored and really excited to have them on board!

The really cool thing is they are in the old Taylor-Dykema skateboard factory. TD was pretty much the original and largest domestic skateboard factory starting back in 1978 making boards for Stacy Peralta, Tony Alva and eventually for companies like Girl, Chocolate, Crail Tap and a slew of others. TD also had a snowboard facility down by the Coronado Bridge and a super cool guy named Ernie DeLost ran the factory. Ernie taught me everything I know about snowboard manufacturing as TD was the factory that made all of the boards for Lamar back in the early 90's when I first got into the snowboard industry. Pretty rad how everything comes full circle! Here is a great History of snowboarding by my friends at Method Magazine
