The other day SlingzGuy Clay and I sat down and got to talkin’.  I’m the new guy  so I asked him why the heck did the “Kahuna Guy” James decide to invent SLINGZ™?

As it turns out, James saw a need because skaters we’re having to deal with filling their handz whenever they could not skate on their board; when they were not riding it, they had to carry the darn thing – filling their handz. 

Was this a big deal? We dunno, but what we did realize is that carryin’ a board and riding a bike didn’t look too cool (or give us a way to do trix on a bike when we had our board too).

If we walked into a mall, same story.  Yeah, we know about backpacks, and a lot o’ times we use a backpack, but a backpack that carries a board is xtra dollars (SLINGZ™ are only less than $10 bucks) and it’s a big hassle sometime to load the backpack with the board.

With SLINGZ™, James saw that people could quickly and easily put the board on their back and just carry on!  When you get to the place you can ride the board, drop the board, jam the SLINGZ™ in your pocket.  Bam!  Riding again and no hassle, nothing interfering with a smooth boarding lifestyle. 

It made sense to me…
