Thanks for your support, and stay tuned!
As you may have noticed, we didn’t quite hit our pledge goal of our Kickstarter campaign, shucks! After spending the last few days locked away with a surplus of Ben and Jerry’s, we have decided that we are going to tirelessly work to launch our store next week. We are committed to deliver on our promise to you, i.e. getting you those amazing FlyingFlips!
We are extremely passionate about FlyingFlips, the community, mission, and the values we live by. You see, giving-back is at the core of FlyingFlips, it’s a philosophy for our business and the community that we are working to build. In case you’re not yet aware, we are committed to giving back to both the artist and to those in need. For each pair of FlipFlops we sell, we give a share of profits to the artist and donate a pair to those in need.
Although Kickstarter proved to have its benefits, it also has very specific rules, which our charitable giving model didn’t quite align with. Unfortunately we were not able to convey our core values accurately through the Kickstarter campaign. This is primarily due to strict guidelines that Kickstarter has with campaigns related to ‘giving’, ‘charity’ and ‘giving-back’ in general. But hey, we're young, clever(ish) and catching on really quick!
If you made it this far through this update, then firstly, thank you for taking the time to read this. Secondly, thank you for supporting us, our cause, and for being a part of our community.
Remember, our store will be ready to go next week, so stay tuned to your inbox, we’ll be sending a note to ensure you’re one of the first to purchase your flyingflips!
Thanks again,
FlyingFlips Team

We love you, we want to shout it from the mountain tops, we want the whole world to know it! However after the thought of spending hours yelling at a bunch of hikers on the top of a tall mountain, we figured it would probably be more effective and lasting if we wrote you a personal thank you on our website and sent you a groovy video message.
