The Kayo Corp, distributors of DGK, Expedition One, Gold, and L&K Limited teamed up with Westside Skateshop on a deck and T-Shirt collaboration recently. And to celebrate the occasion a Bar-B-Que was thrown at Westside and some of the Kayo family came down to enjoy the Tampa Bay.

While torrential downpours on the drive down to Westside threatened a good time, and almost made me turn around for home, I muscled through the storm to come into blue skies as I approached Tarpon Springs. Big Pun’s Still Not A Player came on the radio and I took this as a sign of good times ahead.

Walking up to the shop I saw Jake Mednik, East Coast sales rep for Kayo and Vans Apparel rep John Gow enjoying the scene. Montesi had the grill running hot and some hot dogs to throw on. Kids enjoyed the atmosphere and ate some cheese puffs while waiting for the Kayo family to arrive.

When Stevie came in he did so properly, stopping to shake hands and show appreciation for all the people that came out to enjoy the fruits of each companies respective labor.

Westside’s Chad Benson created the graphic for the deck and shirt and it came out great. Bang up job Chad.

Shirts and decks are still available at Westside so stop by and get one for yourself before it’s a wrap on a sick collaboration. Thanks to John and everyone else at Westside, Stevie and the Kayo Corp for coming down for the event.
