Dear Friends,
It’s time again for a free clinic and board demo.
We are expecting a big turnout, so if you have a board, please bring your own and join the free clinic. If you are demoing boards, please don’t be greedy and limit your time per demo board to 10 minutes so everyone gets the chance to try different boards. We are planning to strictly enforce this rule and will remove offenders from the free demo.
