News Just in from Melbourne:
Brendan O'Keefe was walking home from work today and as he made his 30 minute walk across the park through the streets he couldn't help but notice people staring at him. He had flashbacks to when he was a pop star, "must be looking particularly HOT today" he thought but then he passed a young family and BOOM, jaws dropped, kids cried out LOOK Mummy.
People on bikes took a second glance and the local police even slowed down. Boy oh boy, with a SKYAAK tucked under his back strap he soon realized having a SKYAAK on your person has some magical power!
Next he approached his favorite Wine shop to pick up a quality bottle of Margret River red and the magic spell was cast. There was a young woman working this special Friday evening, a casual staff member he'd never seen before. She immediately asked "What is that" "It's a SKYAAK, The Frisbee of the future" He replied. The young woman picked up a pen and paper and announced, "My boyfriend is Frisbee Mad!, He'd love a SKYAAK!"
She wrote down the website address and Brendan gave her his email address. "Tell your boyfriend to check it out and if he likes it email me and I'll drop one off!"
Joy, Joy, Joy. The SYAAK has landed.

This is a great post Michael! I'm glad to hear Skyaak has finally landed in Australia and is turning heads there as much as it is here.
I remember having the same 'rock star' feeling when I went to the local Canada day celebrations. Almost everyone that looked at me with my Skyaak would take a second glance. Many people would be curious enough to also ask me what the contraption could be.
Seeing the amount of buzz this toy generates in person is extremely compelling! It was that moment that I knew this thing really has potential. :)
Anyways keep up the great work Michael, the blog looks excellent as usual!
Talk to you soon!
