Flat waves and busy days...

WOW, I can't believe the last 2 weeks have gone by so fast. Sorry for no updates... Lots of cool stuff happening, too bad that there is nothing happening with the surf this summer. This is for sure one of the flattest summers in the last 10 yrs! Although the water is a balmy 77 degrees as told by my trusty suunto watch while I was out groveling on a longboard trying to catch a few knee high nuggets, the surf has left a lot to be desired and there are plenty that are jonesing for a good surf session. Fortunately, it looks like waves are on the way. Check the surf forecast out!

So lots to report, new production arrived and it looks great despite the drama in getting the container here (long story...) We continue to get more partners on board at the retail level and our cool little furniture project is picking up steam!


One of our newest partners is 2modern.com and you can check out all the Maku stuff at 2modern by clicking here . The crew @ 2modern did a killer write up on their blog giving Maku some serious props, thanks guys stoked to be on board and working with you!!

When I look back a short 15 months ago and look at what has been achieved in such a short time it's pretty cool. We've got almost 15 retail partners on board (check the Maku site for a list of all our partners which we will update this weekend) . We have also been spec'd for a few really cool projects and I will update pictures on those in the next few weeks.

The next big thing for Maku will be the Casual Living and Accessories show in Chi town this September. Chi town is one of my favorite cities in the world, not only because you can walk around O'Hare Intl with a beer but because of the great skyline, people, architecture (think FLW) and that my favorite Mother In Law lives there and she is kind enough to let me stay at her place for the week instead of a stuffy hotel.

If you are an industry cohort and planning to attend the show let us know and we'll set up an appt to show you the collection - designers, retailers, media. We just get stoked on talking to everybody about Maku!
