Oct marks the celebration of 6 years of Slyde Handboards in business. Steve and I want to send a huge thank you to all our customers and supporters.
We want to thank you for taking the time to send us photos and videos of you Slydeing, giving us amazing online reviews, recommending us to your friends and family, and of course explaining to fellow beach-goers what the heck is on your hand, then even letting them borrow your Slyde to try it out.
Your support makes our business so much fun and worth all the effort we have put into Slyde over the past 6 years.
