There will be a VERY limited amount of extras ordered, so if you are on the fence you might want to place your order before its too late. So far I've got 118 accounted for, and the order will be placed for 144 (unless of course the presale exceeds 144, lol), which leaves only 26 extras, divided by 7 colors thats only like 3 of each!
Ian,
My order for 8 (4 blue & 4 red) just sent via PayPal.
I recieved the free sample on Friday as well. I took it out this weekend and gave it a 'test run' and made a video.Quote:

Here is a video I made to illustrate how 'Moomba friendly' they are :)

***Video might not work yet, I just uploaded it this morning.
Regarding the hole in the bottom; I think that is there to make it easier to push empty cans out, as they are held in pretty tight. The cooling functions seemed as good as a normal foam coozie.
LOL@Ed. Maybe your dog was thirsty?
Here are a couple of pics I took, seems to hold the Faygo Rock-n-Rye pretty solid :)

I have a small suction cup mount that I used to shoot it. I am seen in the video sticking, and un-sticking. If I remember I'll snap a photo of the mount tonight when I'm out there.Quote:

Our cupholders are actaully pretty big, they also fit those big (1 liter? 24oz?) soda bottles.
cool, pretty brave wth the vid camera on the eddge of the boat, thats' confidence my friend...LOL;)
hey, even though I have a supra, I'm in for a few. we have 2 grey ones that we have used for the last year(got from an uncle in the wiring business from a tradeshow). they fit just fine in the skiers choice cupholders, the only downside are that a few of the brands of beer don't fit real well in them, and the suction pieces will eventually wear out, but they are AWESOME. rolled over a 4ft surf wake the other weekend with one stuck on the bow, and it stayed put.....
payment sent...
Ian, Great video man, can't wait to get mine !!
You should send that video to Coolie.
Got it, thanks for the order!Quote:

As you can see I have the camera tethered to the boat :) Its also a waterproof camera.
Ian,
Is that the camera you have used for all the cool pics of your boat and the sky pics?
It is. Most of the pics I take of the boat are with this camera. Most of our skiing and wakebaording pics are taken with my dads Nikon D70. The pics of the camera were taken with my iPhone, lol.Quote:

For boating it is perfect. Shockproof, waterproof, freeze proof, and crush-proof. I've had it for just over a year and haven't had a lick of trouble. I usually go through cameras every 8-14 months, but I see a lot more life left in this one.

Looks like I made a mistake when setting this up;
Unfortunately ORANGE is not an available color for the custom order coolies. I have emailed anyone that palced an order containing orange, and I have edited the original post.
Sorry for the mixup!!!
One last day! The order is being placed tomorrow, so if your are thinking about placing an order please let me know ASAP so I can ensure you get the colors you want!
There will only be about 10 extras ordered!
And the order has been submitted! The coolies should be to me in about 8-10 days, and they will ship out to you guys as soon as I get them!
I will be sending out order confirmation emails this week to make sure I've got correct colors and shipping information.
Thanks very much for doing this!
Not a problem, Im glad everyone wanted them so I could get them for myself too!
Ian,
Whats the status of these?
They emailed me on Monday to let me know that they were finishing up production and should be shipping out this week. I'm in Cali on business so I haven't had time to follow-up; I'm going to email now.
I'll post back when I get the status.
Thanks!
Starting up your own drug cartel Ian?
Cali is Colombia’s third largest city. Founded in 1536 by Sebastian de Belalcazar, it was a sleepy little mountain town until the sugar and coffee industries brought prosperity to the region. They aren't the only commodities, however. After drug lord Pablo Escobar was killed in Medellín in 1993 and the Medellín Cartel fell apart, the remaining drug traffickers moved to Cali and formed the Cali Cartel. However, this too dissolved when the treasurer of the cartel fled to the US.
LOL
Cali-fornia
That's the way the governer pronounces it too. lol
Pretty knowledgeable of the "Cartel" there zabooda?
All I know about the drug cartels came from Miami Vice.. HA HA
Can I still get in if there are any left?
I dont do paypal but can send the money
Bill
PM Please
Holy crap Zab, that was impressive, very impressive.
THEY ARE HERE!!!
I'll be seperating them, boxing them, and printing the shipping labels tomorrow, and taking them to the post office either tomorrow night or Thursday @lunch time.
I'll be sending emails/PM's tomorrow to confirm the colors each of you has ordered.
Thanks again everyone for the patience, and the support to make the group buy possible, I can't wait for everyone to see them because I really think they came out AWESOME!
Coozie< Coozie< Ccozie< Coozie
HOLY CRAP! Boxing up ~135 of these things was more of a project than I expected! Many of you will laugh at the box when it arrives, as I had to get creative with the use of cardboard and packaging tape.
Anyway, All orders are boxed up and will get shipped out today. I'm sorry for the delay, I had a bit of unexpected travel to Minneapolis for work this week/weekend (if you ever watch H.I.N. on Speed Channel you will see me being interviewed on the new episode airing Nov. 11th, haha) Orders are boxed and in my trunk, ready to go.
Here are a few pics of the coolies in-action from last night on the water; straight from the airport to the boat - life is good :)
