Welcome To Our Blog |
As we continue to progress, we felt that it would be a good time to introduce ourselves to you. Our names are Bryan Console and Bradley Carter, Co-Founders of XTREMESPORTSID.
I live in Granite Bay, CA and Bradley lives in Lahaina, Maui, HI. We have been good friends for the last 10 years and for the last few have talked about creating a product for the booming surf industry.
I have vacationed on Maui at least once a year over the last 5 years or so. Last fall, while visiting Bradley, was when the idea of Xtreme Sports ID hit me. I was surfing alone, on the West Side of Maui, on a pretty good size day. Waves were head-high and rising in front of the place I was staying and I decided to paddle out. One of the first waves I dropped into was a little out of my league and I got crushed. I was knocked from my board and put through the "spin cycle" under water, feeling as if I would never return to the surface. When I finally did, I was kind of spooked but stayed out for another attempt. I did however begin to think, "what if something happens to me." I realized that I hadn't told anyone (I was vacationing and staying with some friends) where I was going or even that I was surfing! The "what if" scenario went through my mind and I realized I was on my own. After surfing I shared my idea with Bradley and we decided, that day, to create what is now Xtreme Sports ID. Bradley surfs the West Shore of Maui every chance he can. I train for Triathlons at home in Granite Bay. We created XTREME SPORTS ID for people like us. We're realizing that XTREME SPORTS ID can benefit anyone. My Dad wears one when he's out golfing. My nephews wear them because they think the ID is cool. Parents keep asking for one for their kids. My mom and sister's are waiting for the Pink Camo to arrive. Kids' sizes and Pink Camo arrive next week by the way. So far, we couldn't be happier with the way things have transpired. Surfers, Skiers, Snowboarders, Runners, Cyclists, and so on have all given us fantastic feedback. The Interactive System functions even better than we expected. I'm hooked on the "Where Am I" feature. The coming months are going to be exciting. We are currently represented in 22 states and anticipate coverage throughout the US within the next 60 days. We would love to hear from you. Send us your coolest photo along with your story for a chance to be posted on our website.
