Spread the Swell Launch Party!

Thank you all so much for coming out to the Launch Party and supporting BirdSwell!

On April 13th, 2010, we held a Launch Party at the Landsdowne Pub in Boston, MA. We wanted to celebrate and introduce BirdSwell by throwing a party. The night was really amazing and more than 100 people came out to check out what BirdSwell is about. We gave out new BirdSwell buttons/pins with 5 different designs, new stickers, and Jimbo’s Surf Wax which is based out of New England. For the special RSVP gift, we gave out engraved BirdSwell surfboard bottle openers and a coupon off of surfboards and skateboards to Ocean Frog Surf and Skate shop in Malden, MA.

We started the night out with an introduction to BirdSwell and the release of the new t-shirt design, Stained Glass (will be on the site on very soon.)

We also mentioned that we might be doing some BirdSwell day and weekend surf trips along with other events. (Sign up for our e-mail list, and we will keep you updated on surf trip ideas and events in and around New England.)

After the introduction, the band, Bailout played covers of some really fun songs, including (what I consider BirdSwell’s theme song) “Surfing Bird” by The Trashmen. They rocked out and everyone really enjoyed the live tunes and entertainment. We streamed different surf movies through out the night on all of the flat screen TVs in the pub.

After the first set, we held a raffle of different surf products from surf shops around New England, Boloco meal cards and new BirdSwell hoodies (will be on the site soon.) After the raffle, Bailout came back on stage and played for another hour and people started dancing and having a great time.

My family came out along with Jacob’s parents who flew in for the night from Maryland to celebrate with us. Our friends came out to support BirdSwell as well. Our family and friend’s support has been truly amazing and greatly appreciated. We are forever grateful for each and everyone of them. A lot of new faces came out to check BirdSwell out too and it was great meeting everyone.

All in all, the party was really fun and exceeded our expectations. Thank you all again for coming out and joining us for the launch of BirdSwell!

Spread the Swell,
