Passing on the Torch - Colin Retires!
May 8, 2010
After 12 years behind the counter, Colin and his wife Sabine have decided to retire and have sold Island Longboards to Scott Barbour.
Many of you know Scott already as he has been here at the shop for the past two years, and the transition for him becoming the boss will be easy.
Colin will still be around helping Scott where he can during the Summer months. This is not just a business transaction; Colin and Scott have known each other for 10 years and are friends. "I want to see Scott prosper and achieve all his dreams, he's a young, smart guy" Colin said.
Colin is looking forward to seeing Island Longboards grow and expand into its next phase. He believes Scott and his staff will be able to take the shop to the next level, while still maintaining the level of service and products customers have become accustomed to over the years.
Colin and Sabine would like to thank all the loyal customers, suppliers and friends they have made over the years, it's been a blast - see you at the beach!
