An event for the K2 Family, Divers and Non Divers Alike

Lets all meet at Heisler, fun starts at10a (I will prolly arrive around 11a so dont give me crap) with a dive at 12a, 2:30p, and for the most hardcore of all of us 4p. In the meantime catching up with old and meeting new friends, family friendly and snorkeling for the nondiver also.

This is going to be a pot luck so please sign up with stuff you are going to bring for yourself and others. This is K2 family so I am sure generosity abounds.

Umm, let me say again, this is a BBQ so bring sompthin’ or pony up to our Goddess in charge Amie for a portion of the convestibles.

Finally, some of you got lobsterized last time, so ping me if you want me to bring rashguards, hats, sunglasses and stuff for you (better safe than sorry)

Brian is bringing his kids, Im bringing my kids, Sean is bringing his kids, so let me stress FAMILY DAY AT THE BEACH, and us divers will try and not hog the benches.

K2 is an authorized Dealer for all products we carry so your amazing spank brand new  thingamwhiz comes with the full Manufacturer’s warranty. That means, if it breaks, we exchange it out for a new one, upgrade needed, we handle it for you, if there is a grey area, we will go to bat for you with the manufacturer. The other guys, welp,  the other unauthorized grey market guys with the spectacular low prices. . . g’luck!

Warning: Unauthorized Dealers May Cost You Money

Like your iPod, scuba gear is backed by manufacturer’s warranties. If you buy from K2, an authorized dealer, you will be notified in the event of a safety recall. The warranty is much more important with scuba gear, as this is life support equipment and Murphy ( of Murphy’s Law) is following you around at 130 feet of seawater. Every year the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) finds several scuba products that require recall. The Aqualung Titan was the latest recall September ‘O8. Please click the above link to read about it.

We never add a handling charge, nor are there surcharges; that is fleecing the unsuspecting customer and it’s just wrong. What you pay up front is what you pay. . . and no hidden charges! (remember, treating you like a friend)

Setup & Installation of Gear

It is all about customer service! This is the K2 difference, and you don’t have to wonder what condition your product will arrive in when you receive it . We will either assemble it before it leaves the warehouse, or send it to a K2 instructor local to you, or. . . do nothing because you are an experienced diver. The Big Picture. . .you have options, and you have the SAY, and we ask YOU!

Deliverability and Availability

If the reason you came to us is because you want your item, you want it now, and you don’t want to wait for it… you came to the right place. We understand that you want it right now. Often, discounters have lower prices, but are” oh-so- sorry-we’re-out-of -it”, so they try to sell you something else. So please don’t be fooled by competitors who have deeply discounted prices, because their deliverability or availability of those products just might not be there.

Customer Support

It is what K2 is all about. we aren’t done until you are gleefully happy!

Technical support

Youbought the latest SuperBangWhiz Dive Computer from us, and have questions. You bought a pair of drygloves and need help installing them on your drysuit. We are here for you BEFORE and AFTER your purchase and we are privileged to be your local diveshop. . . this is what separates us from the discounters.

It is a promise that we will walk you through it.

Deep Selection of Products, Travel Locations and Services

 Part and parcel of the K2 Difference is that it is our sincere endeavor to make your shopping convenient, easy, and a fun experience to shop, travel, and learn with us. Don’t you deserve the luxury of fun in your experience of purchasing your dive gear?

This is our solemn promise to you!

Life is pure, beautiful, genuine, and authentic. A blade of grass has no angst while it is growing. We live in an artificial construct called "society" that beats us, corrals us, imprisons us, and some of us, the very worst of us, transmogrify from fellow prisoners, to sadistic jailers.

As we are lulled into sleep by the “just fit in” crowd.  And any of us outliers holding the keys to the prison are snuffed, pushed aside, or culled.

Welp, you cannot keep joy down.

Take a look:

.

Want to know how you can control your own world and reality? Be genuine and authentic to others, but verbalize it and let the world know what you think of them it’s easier thank you imagine. . . .

. . . .and by the way, Your awesome!

My Friend, my Ally, my Master:

As your dreamskeeper, and the arbiter of your inventory of desires. . . it was my hope that all your heartfelt wishes for 2009 all come true.

That you find yourself surrounded by friends, laughter, and good times.. . .

That your cup runneth over financially, romantically, spiritually, and creatively. . . . 

That good health be your faithful companion, that peace be your guarded ally, and love your perpetual guide. . . .

When suddenly, it dawned on me that you my master. . . as an infinite, powerful, fun-loving gladiator of the Universe, with eternity before you and the power of your thoughts to help shape it. . . it is you. . . .

. . .  you are the dreamskeeper who will wield the power to grant your heartfelt wishes this year!

Master, your wish is my command. . . . What is your ask?

 The Universe

This was so wonderful, that I am seeding it from Only Positive News Blog, go take a look. . .

Holidays are often a trying time, though it’s a hidden pain. No one wants to be seen as the Scrooge, shunning joy and gratitude. Yet the truth of the matter is many of do have a tough time during this time of the year. How can you add some positive news to your life during the heart of the winter when you may want to crawl inside of a hole?

First, let go of expectations. Expectations run high around the holidays. We want our holidays season to be just like the ones in the movies or magazines. Or maybe you think your neighbor seems to have it all together when your family seems like a dysfunctional mess! Whatever the case, let go this year. Ask yourself, “What can I do to make this holiday good for me?” Maybe its nothing. Maybe its a quiet meal and a good movie. Maybe you could do without the hoopla one year.

Give. Nothing brings you out of the seasonal doldrums more than focusing on others. If you can’t seem to get your act together to do some serious volunteer work, then keep it simple. Maybe you can go to a local park and do some trash pick-up. Maybe there’s an elderly woman you could sit with for an hour. Maybe you haven’t been giving to yourself in a true and sincere manner. Remember, the act of love starts with you and expands, like a ripple in a pond.

Be sad. We live in a culture that just can’t stand negative emotions. In turn, we often feel guilty when we just feel badly. Sadness is a good emotion. It means your human. It means you’ve experienced loss and disappointment and loneliness. It means you’re alive. Allow yourself this holiday to feel sad without the guilt of feeling sad.

Get outside. There’s something about nature that naturally lifts the spirits. Turn off the radio and television for a bit and celebrate the holidays by celebrating the great outdoors. Breathe, be thankful for the cold, blue sky. If you believe in a higher power, be thankful for being alive today. Maybe the holidays can simplified to that: being grateful for life on this earth, in all of its forms.
