KoGL Test Fest 2017 Thank you
MACkite Test Fest 2017 - Sunshine to beat the band, warm water, lots of beachgoers, and still no wind. On the other hand, with 2017 being the year that all of our brands decided to produce and bring out foils, the no-wind factor worked out darn near perfectly for us. With 3 watercraft on hand, we had loads of people up and shredding on the new foils. With the birth of almost 50 new foilers and plenty of additional experience for the veterans on the force, things are shaping up to be foil-friendly for next year - regardless of wind.
A huge thanks to all of our customers, reps, and brands that came out to support this event. You folks are absolutely the lifeblood of what happens around here and within the shop, and we really could not do it without you. KoGL Test Fest has always been our favorite weekend of the year solely for sake of seeing someone come off of the water with a huge smile on their face, ready to learn and talk about the sport that brings us all together. The camaraderie is tangible - if anyone has a question, a concern, or even wants to say hi, it's easy to tell that anyone involved here will be ready to greet them. Food and drinks at night coupled with an amazing beach has again made for a fantastic year of KoGL, and we hope to see you all again next year - bring your friends!
