The website is coming together but it’s a slow process.  Mostly because I’m trying to do a lot of it myself.  I’m getting some help from a fabulous man who shall be named on the site once it’s respectable enough to earn his name in print.

In the meantime, a big shout out to Derek Montgomery who has provided me with some sweet banner images that I hope to rotate through occasionally.  You can see his stellar photog skills in print at DerekMontgomery.com.

Hopefully, I’ll get this shaped up to the point where you can grab pricing and order forms as well as view video clinics.  Please check in often to see what I have cookin’.  Or, subscribe to my blog updates HERE.

I’m packing up for the January MWSRA show taking place next week in Madison, Wisconsin.  Okay, well… I’m procrastinating the packing because it’s Antartic cold outside right now.  Below zero temps have set in Duluth for the last couple days.

I have a good amount of appointments for the show but always have space for more.  Plus, GoLite will be sending in some backup in the form of Greta so now I really have some time.  I’d love to see you if you are there.  Please feel free to request some time here: http://tungle.me/northstaroutdoor

I’m technicaly not showing any of my paddlesports brands but if you would like to see them or talk shop, just let me know!

My friend Brad at Pemba Serves would appreciate it if you would help keep me from distracting his staff in his booth.

Check out Pemba Janice trying to hide the shot that captures her sitting on the job.

Thanks for stopping by.  As you can see, the site is under development.

My hope is for the website to be a tool for retailers and staff.  The blog element will speak to my time on the road, industry observations, and an occasional foot-in-my-mouth post.

Please stay tuned, I’ll be working on this during the very busy Fall 2010 sell in season!

Here’s to a prosperous New Year.
