Good day guys it's Rocky here and Dan from Further Faster in Christchurch and it's Friday
it's about five ish so it's beer o'clock review time yeah so first of all thank you to Mountain
Adventure one of our suppliers with this beer Monteith IPA.
It's a good one absolutely we've had it before it's a cracking New Zealand beer you know.
There's a mix box so you know thanks Mountain Adventure appreciate the beer.
We love the gifts.
We do like gifts absolutely yes.
Why did we get a gift?
We got this for from being Outdoor Retailer Independent Outdoor Retailer of the Year 2019.
Thanks again for whoever voted for us Who would've thought we get free beer out of it.
That's actually better than the award almost.
Anyhow we've also got a new staff, Archie our new little puppy.
He's been the shop puppy all week entertaining all the customers keeping everyone happy and
he seems to be pretty excited about it.
It's his new job.
Tell us how excited he is Dan?
oh you can see I woke him up just get him up you can see how excited you can't see yeah
he is a nice little spoodle he's absolutely adorable.
He's very relaxed.
He's very chill.
He plays hard for about a half an hour and then he crashes out for about an hour and
a half while people.. no crash out for an hour and a half and work hard for a half an
hour that's it.
So Archie is in the shop actually as well during the week so if you gotta come down
give Archie a cuddle or you know have your picture with Archie.
He's here during school hours obviously so is Badger as well so by just not got you know
he's not losing limelight it's just got a buddy to play with and Archie all obviously
grow into a trail dog over the coming year and you'll see a lot more of him.
Anyhow do you want me to grab hold of Archie and you could talk about what we talked about
there bro.
Right we got Werner paddles in so if you're on the list waiting for these, we finally
got some new paddles.
Nice and shiny.
Look at the nice rainbow of colors then we have sea kayaking paddles started at this
end in the shooter there and just look at a sea kayaking one nice high angle paddle
and the Camano next door is a nice low angle paddle nice citrus color their gradient citrus
I believe it's called so nice yellow to green fade so that's very nice and then if we keep
going across we got what you're expecting in this area and yeah just great all around
paddles both of those powerhouse and the Sherpas so they're great great paddles and then if
we just go across out there okay throw it in the middle of the whitewater section.
So is that the four piece?
Yeah four pieces it's gonna come off and one of the clever things that word has done for
their pack raft paddle is to make it adjustable so you can do 210 centimeters, go down and
close that down to 210 and then new this year is the Surge Border Surge and just well a
high impact blade on it so this is kind of like your tour and like super you know expedition
kind of paddle.
It's tough and it's got a heck of a catch on it so how can I show you that you can see
you know scoop on that blade.
So that looks like a shovel.
Yeah exactly.
So the end lookslike a shovel and you get a lot of water in that so it's got quite a
curve to it so do we say expedition?
Like if you're going to tough places this is like a thicker construction so it's heavy
duty and then last but not least is just the Sherpa but in a crank shaft so you've got
those natural bends there which can just relieve some pressure on your wrist and even during
the past that can just take all the panels have done stock and yes nice new colors.
It's also Dan's birthday today as well so a happy birthday Dan!
Thank you.
Archie's nearly falling asleep back to sleep again.
It's Archie's first beer o'clock review so you know we should do that.
Look at him compared to size my hands.
Rocky your hands are a bit bigger yeah he's just a little pup 9 weeks old that's it.
Alright guys have a great weekend!
Hopefully you get out and do some fun things and we'll see you guys next week where I'll
be reporting live from Keppler.
Cheers guys!
Bye!
