Thank you my friend, I was getting tired of seeing the old banners, the new ads were actually Kevin's creations, I'll pass on the compliment.

Yeah...I've always thought that Robert does a good job of marketing. Nice blend of getting the word out and sharing knowledge, without being pushy at all.

Thank you for the praise, much appreciated.  This forum has been a great source of ideas, inspiration and stoke for me personally and Blue Planet as well, so it goes both ways. 

As mentioned, we just launched our new website, months later than planned.  Our old one was based on shopify, the new one is a wordpress format, so everything changed and we are still working out the bugs.

Mr. Big sent me a message that he was not able to access it on his phone and I appreciate the feedback.

If I can ask for everyone's help in checking out the new page at www.blueplanetsurf.com and notify me of any bugs, errors or just general feedback and suggestions, I would appreciate it, I really value the input of everyone here.

Robert was that one of your boards that was on Hawaii Five-O during last Friday nights episode? Looked like Jin and the little girl together on a Blue Planet board in the Hilton lagoon ?

If yes and you managed to plan that, well done!

Hi Robert,
I've just had a quick look at your new website and was instantly drawn to your 'Gear Guide' section but it says that the page is not found. I'm using an iPad if that helps.
By the way, I love the choice of boards that you have and the handles on your SUPs look really good. What's the feedback on them?
Keep up the good work!

Yes, that was lucky, one of the ladies in charge of the props is a customer and she rented the board (a 10'2 x 32" Easy model) for the episode and then ended up buying the board because they liked it so much.

Here is a video of the scene for those that missed it:

Thanks for pointing that out, we will get it fixed ASAP.

We have been using the SUP Grip handles for over 2 years now and have been getting nothing but good feedback.

Robert,

I accessed your website running the 64 bit linux Mint 18 operating system using the 64 bit Pale Moon browser. Everything seems to work correctly even the Gear Guide section.

BTW, I did take a look at the sups you sell. Nice sups (and colors).  8)
Blue Planet Duke: 10'5" x 32" x 4.5" @ 190 Liters (2 Dukes)
Sup Sports Hammer: 8'11" x 31" x 4" @ 140 Liters
SUP Sports One World: 11'1" x 30" x 4.5" @ 173 Liters
CJ Nelson Parallax: 9'3" x 23 1/2" x 3 3/16" @ 78.8 Liters (prone surfing longboard; Thunderbolt Technologies build in Red construction)

I sent you an email with screenshots from my android device, hope it helps. The website looks awesome, and I didn't have any trouble with the gear guide on Android.

In general, using an Android device, most of the product usability graphs didn't appear correctly, and a bunch of product pictures didn't show up. I'm sure it's all easy stuff, and the site is awesome!

Thanks for the feedback on our website.  We just realized that the "contact us" page has not been working since we launched the new website- duh!
If anyone sent a message through that page in the last month, we apologize, please contact us again, looks like all the messages were lost.
