A Visit to Stiffy Push Poles

After picking up my new flats skiff yesterday, I was invited over to visit the crew at Stiffy Push Poles. Really nice bunch of people over there and I was able to watch them build my custom push pole on the spot. Super cool! When it was all said and done, I rolled out of there with a new Stiffy Guide Series Push Pole and a few accessories installed on the skiff. Thanks to everyone at Stiffy for hooking me up. Appreciate the support. Check out more from them here www.stiffypushpoles.com.
