NVOHK - The First Community Managed Eco Friendly, Surf Inspired Company
Posted by Robin | Filed under Business, Cool Sites, surfing
Like always most of my internet hours filled by RSS readings. This time i found an interesting company / business idea through CoolBusinessIdeas: Nvohk (spelled invoke).
Like the title of this post, Nvohk is a community-managed, eco-friendly, surf-inspired clothing company. The company is now recruiting members via their site.
How it works:
1. Enter your Name and email address at the site.
2. When 20.000 members sign up, you will be invited to contribute $50 a year to develop and manage the company.
3. Members make major business decisions including logo design, product designs, advertising etc.
4. 10% of net profits go straight to environmental charities.
5. 35% of net profits are rewarded to members via reward points.
It sounds like some sort of Public Company or even a one tier multi level company but better. Because you don’t have to recruit anyone which will become your affiliate and because their concept is community driven. Also what interests me is the eco-friendly message they are in. It is important. Many times, surfers are contributing saving our earth, and we can’t stop because saving our earth is a never ending project.
For more information you can go to their site www.projectnvohk.com and make your choice. FYI, the company also supported by Transworld Surf magazine.
I’m in.

VOLCOM STONE’S $10,000 KICKFLIP-OFF CONTEST!
Posted by Robin | Filed under Contest, surfing
Check out this cool contest:
VOLCOM STONE’S $10,000 KICKFLIP-OFF CONTEST!To date, no one has ever documented a cleanly landed kickflip on a surfboard. Volcom is giving away $10,000 to the first person that can land a “proper” kickflip while surfing! By proper we mean an “above the lip” kickflip where first you launch an air, use your front foot to flip the board, and then land on it and ride out cleanly. No backwash, no fingerflips, no grabs, no laybacks. Just a proper kickflip. We’re going to be strict on these following guidelines. The rules are all listed here, so get out there and put this trick in the history books. Good luck!
