July's Sweepstakes Winner - Justin Friend, TX
Dear MBS,
Thanks a lot for the awesome board!! I can’t wait to try it out. I have had a Jeep Renegade that I got from MBS three years ago. I really like it and have nearly worn it out. I made a track out in our gully that helped me get some really great skills. Although there are not many hills in my part of Texas, I really like using my board for kiteboarding on beaches. My kite and Renegade have taken me many miles up and down the beach between Corpus Christi and Port Aransas, Texas. I have been teaching younger kids in my troop how to mountainboard, and some of them are interested in buying one. I will recommend MBS to everyone. Thank you again, very, very much!
Your friend,
Justin
