RPS The Board Store
It all started 20 years ago....................
Back in the good old days when windsurfing was hip, cool and still booming, that's what we were doing. We're still doing it today, loving it as much as ever, but combining it with lots of different sports that weren't even invented back in 1990. Today our store boasts, on top of windsurfing..... kitesurfing, snowboarding, surfing, skateboarding and stand-up paddling. One thing's certain, we are never board.
Each season brings a new focus. Just as the summer sea-breezes wind down through Autumn, the perfect, glassy conditions beg you to paddle, then a massive low pressure system blows up from the Antarctic, provides us with a fresh dump of snow and we're off to the mountains. Or, we might be pulling on a thick winter steamer and booties in anticipation for that winter dawn patrol session with endless corduroy lines stacked to the horizon. Then as the air starts to warm we all start thinking of the approaching spring and summer winds. Longer days, spending more time at the beach, catching up with friends and going to the coast on day trips.
The new gear starts to arrive amidst ooh's and ahh's and "Geez, I can't wait to crack out that new rig!" Every season is different, but follows a curiously familiar pattern. It's one routine that we'll never tire of, nor take for granted.
This industry never stands still and is always throwing up surprises. It's healthy, innovative, social and has little impact on the environment.
Well, that's just a small part of how we've evolved over the first 20 years. Bring on the next 20!
