In the summer of 2008, Kalamazoo, Michigan will host the PDGA World Championships. To salute the Wolverine State and support the 2008 Championships Huk Lab is proud to release a special edition Worlds Fundraiser Disc. The art was hand sketched and then water colored for a truly unusual full color disc. This disc is full of Michigan symbology as the White Pine, the state tree, anchors the design in the form of a triFly. Flanking the tree are a Robin, state bird, the Brook Trout, state fish and, of course, the Wolverine. The art is rendered using the Discraft SuperColor process which produces the most vibrant flyArt in the sky today. Available here at Next Adventure: $25

The cool shade of Pier Park's canopy was a welcome start to this year's 2nd Annual Rose City Open! Sixteen ladies and 128 guys participated in the 2 day event, just one of seven Oregon Series Tournaments. As always, a big thank you goes out to everyone who staffed, supported, and participated in the event. It's always great to experience first hand the strength of Portland's disc golf community, whether it's through the dedicated players, the friends and family who come to support, or the vendors who arrive to feed and cloth us!

A special shout out to Sam and company, and also to the Stumptown Disc Golf Club for your help at the tourney. It amazes me how well organized and FUN you guys make these events! So whether you're a pro or just getting started, get out there and huk!...and I'll see you at Hab Rec in October!
