Back from Indo!

After a brutal 24+ hours of travel I'm finally back at Maku HQ. Albeit a little jet lagged.... Overall a great trip and it's pretty incredible to be able to combine living the way you want and working with a brand that reflects that lifestyle!

The production guys in Java are doing a great job
and the product is looking better than ever.

(hahaaa! sorry Jeff, couldn't resist putting the Monkey picture up...) In all seriousness, the crew is doing an incredible job with production and I am confident that Maku will continue to set the bar for quality in the outdoor furnishing marketplace. Better get your's soon or we'll be sold out....

Of course all work and no play makes for no fun right? After a few days of working away in Java my good friend and neighbor Dave joined me back in Bali for our annual surf trip. The funny thing about surf trips is you always have a "crew" of 4-6 friends that are excited to go each year but somehow after all is said and done that "crew" ends up being just another buddy to travel and surf with. Which is cool because as the saying goes, "Too many cooks in the kitchen..." Great waves, warm water, and the most hospitable people on the face of the earth make Bali truly a special place.

Here's a few shots from the trip
