A
word from Chris Rempel (LongboardDirectory.com):
"When I originally spoke to Paul (from
Extreme Outdoor Supply)
about putting up a story on his company, I was honestly expecting
the "same old" story that I've heard from every other
retailer...
"NOT
the case at all!
"I
was completely floored at what they've decided to do to help those
in need with what they're able to do with their business.
"I
would strongly urge anyone that reads this to think twice
before buying your gear anywhere else.
"Don't
believe me? Read on..."

For
the past year, ExtremeOutdoorSupply.com
-an online board shop - has been working relentlessly to
build its supply of longboard skateboards.
This labor has proved successful as EOS now boasts
one of the largest selections of longboards online. Longboard
companies like Landyachtz,
Loaded
Boards, gfHurley,
Dregs,
Kahuna
Longboards, Ashland,
Pancho
Longboards, and Gravity
Boards are all featured on the site.
In addition to boards and decks, EOS offers a variety
of ramps and rails, hardware, trucks, wheels, apparel, and protective
gear.
A unique element of EOS is that while they strive
to offer the best boards for the best prices, they also support
a great cause...
EOS has pledged to donate 100% of its profits
to educational charities for third world countries. When you buy
a board from their site, you are helping people of all ages around
the world escape the vicious cycle of poverty.
That is how you can "board
and make a difference".
Here is some of the philosophy behind EOS's pledge
There is an old saying that if you give a man
a fish, he will have a meal for a day, but if you teach him how
to fish, he will eat for the remainder of his life. Due to limited
abilities, people in poverty are not likely to become leaders
in their communities or in the world. They are more likely to
find themselves in need of welfare help. They will marry and rear
families who will continue in the same cycle that they have known.
However, with good employment skills, these same
people can rise out of the poverty they and generations before
them have known. From the earnings of one of the charities we
support, loans will be made to ambitious young men and women so
that they can borrow money to attend school. It is not a welfare
effort, commendable as those are, but rather an education opportunity.
The beneficiaries will repay the money, and when they do so, they
will enjoy a sense of freedom because they have improved their
lives not through a grant or gift, but through borrowing and repaying.
They can hold their heads high in a spirit of independence.
We must do all we can to help those in poverty lift
themselves and establish their lives upon a foundation of self-reliance.
Education is the key to opportunity. We must help those around
the world become self-reliant and successful.
In summary, these guys offer fair prices, have
a great selection to complement any rider's needs, and support
a great cause. Check out their website at www.extremeoutdoorsupply.com.

a Difference!
