What a response - Thank you!

I have to say I am truly humbled again after another great Expo. Last year was great, but the amount of interest in our blanks and guides was way more than expected.

Tom asked on Sunday - "How'd you do?" My response was "well, we'll know in the next few months since we are only showing products." It's already shown. My phone has literally not stopped ringing all day today - people wanting to know more, didn't get to ask everything they wanted to, weren't there but "heard" things, and then a few just wanting to say good to see you again.

We appreciate the patience as you watch us grow and know you are helping with it. Less than 5 years ago we were sitting in the aisle checking out the offerings, not in a booth telling people about them! Thank you to everyone for pushing, believing and encouraging Hydra's growth. It was great to see everyone again and please, let us know how Hydra or any of our dealers can help you build some of the best rods available!

You should be very proud of your offerings, especially your new blanks. I encourage everyone to get their hands on one and give them a try, they are incredible.

Hi Alex,
Appologies for not mentioning you in my previous post, too much stuff and too many people in a short space of time. I was also impressed with what you have and you will do well.

Alex, thanks for the set of Kigan's that I won at the reception! Was disappointed that your little one wasn't there, maybe next year she can build a rod and put it on display in The NERBs booth.

Looking forward to your website being completed to learn more about your blanks, etc. Maybe just put up a "simple" site for now and do the full site as time allows...
