Well, I probably won't be doing this any more, because...
"James-
They all shipped today! There are no more orders on the RR books. "XXXXXXXXX" has the green light to go live!!! I will talk to "XXXXXXX" and let him know!
G-"
No, those XX's aren't kisses
(they're hugs)
So I hope to hear some stories and see some shots and vids of Mermaids pumping down the boardwalks in the near future!
hey james i have to do a job shadow later in the year and i would love to job shadow a board maker the first two that came to mind were insect and ROE so i was thinking that when its time maybe i would contact him for this but i was wondering if you think he would be down for that? _________________ The concrete is our canvas, our wave, our playgound, our catalyst for growth.

Yup, got mine shoftly after calling Gareth and mentioning the March Ultraskate on his voicemail. Coincidence? Dunno. Waited about 2-3 months by my recollection.
It's customary at this point to say how stoked one is. Well, I can't buck the trend: I LOVE THIS BOARD. It has become my primary means of commuting around town. Got the medium flex even though I'm 185 as I like a bit of flex, perhaps from riding so many Loadeds. Super responsive, and I love that I can pump *up* hills now. And yes, it's gorgeous, too.
Got mine Friday and took it out for a quick ten mile ride yesterday and I agree with LovethePump, the Mermaid is an amazing board. Now I need to learn how to pump it- very different than the Galac deck I've pretty much learned on. Also, James, the medium flex feels really good. It takes me back to seventh grade when I was riding my Fibreflex cutaway slalom board with Trackers and Road Rider Henry Hester wheels...
Nice. So good to hear this! And glad to hear the flex works for you Alan.
I hope to keep hearing more flex impressions coupled with your weight and preferences. Communicating desired flex can be one of the trickiest things to nail down.
