That's good info.
Hey, if changing to the camber-only deck is going to slow up the process, I'll take whatever Gareth's making... Thanks!

| He's only doing camber-concave now. The requests for camber-only were so few, so he streamlined his process, I just need to pull that option off his site. Cheers! |

James,
I have been wanting to get a Roe Mermaid from Gareth for over a half a year, but have been holding off until production became more routine. Is this a better time than before to place an order and to expect delivery in nine weeks? Is the CNC Machine and other equipment running more smoothly than previous times? Thanks |

nochipseal is a great philosophy!  welcome.
The distributor thing is coming together fast, a matter of weeks or even less at this point. I'm confident enough to say that you might hold off ordering through the Roe site right now, and wait for this! This thread is where I'll post it when it goes "live." |

Thanks James,
I'll check back periodically and order when the distributor has been established. I've come to the conclusion that the Roe Mermaid is still the LDP for me, regardless of subsequent LDPs recently introduced by other manufacturers. |

"Two are done and will ship this week. Others will be done and ship next week. I am at work and don't know which ones are done now off the top of my head." |
This above was Gareth's report 1.7.09, and I just spoke with him tonight. Only one of those three decks above shipped last week (I don't know whose yet, he called me from his car...) so the other three are still in limbo. That's not the positive news I wanted to report but I just want to keep things current and communicated, above all.
I'll update with something more meaningful (hopefully later tonight) we're supposed to talk again, and hopefully I'll be updating the Roe site to pull down all the prices in getting ready for his distributor launch. |

| I've been anxiously waiting for the delivery but had a feeling something was up since it wasn't here yet...oh well, I now have the rest of the board ready to go once it arrives. |

Thanks Alan, I'm hoping for good news as well.
I updated the site last night, the board line is pared down to the most popular, and the $ links will be updated once the distro is ready.

And just got this from Gareth:
"All existing orders should be done within the next week...and back on track for Speed-board development."

Fresh from the wires, hopefully these are the last four?? (let me know if the flexes sound right!!)
