All,

In order to keep the lag time down between orders and shipments, David is sending shipments here every 2-3 months. It works like this:

Shipment # will be assigned (Date format MMDDYY).
Shipment Status will be Custom / Stock and change as orders are taken.
Shipment Date is date followed by P-planned or A-actual
_________________________________________

Shipment #: 080105
Status: 1/3
Date: 08/01/05 (p)
_________________________________________

Shipments of Custom & Stock boards will be in a 4 board box.

Custom orders submitted between now and July 1 will be priority in the shipment leaving Australia Aug 1 (arriving LA or SF).

Stock boards will fill the remaining spots in the box if there are less than 4 custom board orders.

There's room for a few accessories as well - pads, knit board covers, travel covers, shirts, etc.

This should alleviate lag time in order and fulfillment.

We'll set up another shipment after the July 1 order gets done.

PS. This could work well for all international shapers if they get the distribution points set up... food for thought.

Hey Don.
I just sent you a pm related to this topic. So this is how it's done huh? I guess my question is when is the next shipment and can I have a pad sent along with it?
Is there any room??
Thanks, Jim Morales

Hi Don

How can I get on the list to get a set of front and back deck PARKES PADS

Don,

Chat soon,

Who on the west coast carries the stock Parkes boards?

Just dropped off 20 sets to the Kneelo pimp (Don Harris)

Bubbles or Gray???? The new bubbles don't seem to be as sturdy as the old ones.

Off topic slightly, but I found the bubbles great when new, but after wearing, they became slippery.

The grey ones with the angular grooves works for me....

I've been using the bubble pads for the last ten years with no trouble, then a couple of years ago I had the same problem with a set . Just happened one day; went super slippery, as though slime had grown on the surface. Went to see DP and he sorted me out a replacement set no worries. No further problems, but I'll probably try the grey next trip. No reason other than curiosity. Those bubbles are really comfortable.

I have had this happen to me once before, Dave suggested I take some 80 grit sand paper and rough them up a little, after that I had no problems with those pads.

Agreed.switched from bubbles to gray,they seem to be more durable.Gray's not quite as squishy as bubbles;doesn't seem to matter.
Niuhi also makes a good pad.Fronts are longer,and for me create a bit more traction,and there's some wiggle room in cases of missed sweet spot.Fairly thin with micro dots.Both work well.
