Lib Tech Heli Trip

In early March I was at my desk finishing orders for next winters snowboard gear when I got a phone call from the sales manager at Mervin (the parent company of Lib Tech and Gnu) – he asked what I was doing the coming weekend?  I replied – finishing my orders and planning for the 26th Annual Snowboard Cup.  He asked if I could get to Revelstoke on Friday evening? (4 days away)  I asked why?  He said if I could get there – he would give me 3 free days of Heli with Eagle Pass Heli.  I yelled “heck ya!”.
This is the same Heli operation that Travis Rice has used several times to film – and I guess they had a few left over dyas they had to use up.
I scheduled some more staff and headed to Revy.

I guess selling a brand for almost 30 years allows some perks!

If you want a great Heli Experience – try Eagle Pass in Revelstoke.
If you want a great board – try Lib Tech and Gnu!

A huge THANK YOU to Mervin for the trip – it was 3 of the best days of riding i have ever had – and that’s a lot since I started in 1979.

I’ll let the photos speak from here.

Yup - stickers on the heli!

Even with a heli - sometimes you have to hike for the really good stuff.

Eagle Pass runs A-Star heli's - so it is Pilot / Guide and only 4 riders.  This allows you to go places you normally wouldn't.

The Easy Rider has finished its indoor Stand Up Paddle demos season.

A big Thanks to everyone who made it out to try out the fantastic sport of SUP.

From January through May we had over 250 people try Stand Up Paddling in the comfort of inside the West Edmonton Mall Waterpark.

We now move outdoors for June / July and August.  Watch this site for the dates and times for our next demo.

Stand Up Paddleboard SELECTION

We get comments from people in the store all the time that can not believe the SELECTION of Stand Up Paddleboards that we have in stock.
I have always strived to offer the best selection of SUP’s (and all other sports we carry).
For those of you that like to shop from your couch – here is a listing of the 181 different SUP boards we have IN STOCK right now.
Yes – you read correctly – 181 different boards.  That is a bigger selection that any other shop in Canada by far,  and most likely in North America.
Add in the fact that we have the most knowledgeable staff, and there is no reason to go anywhere else.

We also ship boards all across Canada – give us a call 780-413-4554

The warm weather is finally here – now is the time to get a board!
