Random Performance

Here it is. You never asked, but I'm going to tell you anyway!

As most people know, I started RP as a bit of a p**s take. I knew bu**er all about anything, but took pride in learning the hard way and showing people a better, if not cheaper way to do things. Essentially, being the black sheep was what it was all about.

Fast forward 13 years. I met a s**t load of awesome people, went to some amazing places, and had some epic opportunities all around the world. A lot of skis came and went, a lot of fibreglass was layed, and a LOT of chemical fumes and fibreglass dust was ingested.

I wake up one morning out of the blue, and have what could be best described as vertigo, but not actually vertigo. It's hard to explain to people but think of how you would feel, getting off a spinning swing while hung over, but having that feeling 24/7. After exhausting every possible option to get a cure, I slipped into something I can only assume is chronic anxiety and depression. This, mixed with the s**t show that is life, forced me me to stop doing the very things that actually kept me going.

Whatever the hell I have, it's not going away any time soon (now 5 years in). I seem to find comfort in getting back to what I enjoy, which is messing with things, getting out and about and actually having fun again.

While jetskis aren't really my jam anymore (I still own a few though). I thought I'd revive RP and get back to my roots...random s**t. We still blow s**t up, we still do stupid things all the time, and every now and then we stumble across something that works, and is helpful.

This isn't a sob story, nor a comeback...it's just a reconnection with better times that I'd like to get back to. You never know how good things are until they're gone.

Cheers to anyone that's still listening after all these years!

Random Performance...it's fast, until it's not.

Been a minute...

14/11/2021

So today marks the day I pull down the garage door at Random Performance for the very last time.

Unfortunately due to ongoing health and personal issues, I can't operate the business the way it should be to a decent level anymore.

It's been a fair journey over the last 20 years which started with buying a ski I couldn't even ride. The business, and this sport has given me many opportunities that I otherwise wouldn't have had, so for that I'm very thankful.

I've met a lot of great people from all over the world, and had the chance to hang out with a lot of them personally.

There's been a lot of ups, and unfortunately a lot of downs that have had a profound effect on me.

All in all, it's been a lot of fun, but it's time to move on. Thanks to all the people that have supported RP in one way or another, and also gave me a chance when I first started out. I only started RP to help people out, and get them into the sport that I loved so much. Hopefully it wasn't all in vein, and I've been able to help a lot of you guys out and send you down the right paths.

Thanks for the memories!

Cheers,

Watty

If you're anything like me, you start drinking immediately after finishing a decent session in the surf. Not only do you leave most of your s**t at the beach, your ski only gets a quick rinse and gets pushed into the corner with little thought about cracking the hood.

Address your negligence before summer hits by swapping money for a set of these ATP electrical cables. Mostly suited to Superjets, but have been known to be used in SXR's, Wet Bikes, and Nissan Pathfinders.

$75 plus postage costs will see you owning a set.

- Replacement for OEM Battery = ATP Cable Black Battery Ground 915mm long M6 & M8 Tinned Copper

- Replacement for OEM Red+ = ATP Cable Red 700mm long M6 Ebox 2 Starter motor Tinned Copper

- Replacement for OEM Red+= ATP Cable Red Ebox to Battery 1100mm long M6 both ends with live cable and female connector

- Tinned Copper

- Boots not supplied, use your OEM ones from the replaced cable

RP Garage Tip: Removing broken bolts...

First lot of hoodies have arrived. I'll be doing my best to mess up your order and send you the wrong size and colour at some stage tomorrow. Anyone that wanted something a little custom, well, you have to wait a bit longer because you are diffcult, so difficult in fact that The Daily Mail Australia will no doubt do a s**tty story about it, you, and your somewhat chequered past. This story will consist mostly of assumptions and bulls**t. Thanks for your patience and support.

Were you one of the lucky ones that ordered an RP hoodie last week? Well, the good news is that pretty much all payments have been recieved and the order has been submitted. I hope to have some ready to start shipping out late this week, but with over 100 orders, it could take me some time to get them all in the post. If you're local, I'll probably deliver, just like that pirate delivers paper in his beat up Falcon wagon at stupid o'clock in the morning. I'll rip into your driveway, hurl your stuff at the closest window, and drop an abitious chirpy upon my exit. Good times fam.

To last week when I put the call out for RP hoodies. Well, today is the last day to place your order. Cut off is at 4pm this afternoon 30/04/20 (Aus bush time), but if you happen to miss it, I won't be mad. Some people would have noticed that I've been sending out payment details. If you haven't seen them yet, please be patient. I hope to get them all sent out by the end of the day. Order will be placed tomorrow, and we are hoping to have them sent out/delivered by late next week. Thanks for choosing RP to grace the front of your go-to winter garment.

You never asked fror them, so we are offering them anyway...RP hoodies. You know it's all off a sudden going to get cold as balls, so, prepare yourself with one of our garments supplied and printed in OZ by our friends at Allstar Graphics. Still a much better option than the $130 hoodie you buy at the surf shop, and guaranteed to leave people wondering what the hell Random Performance means.

$60 for Adult sizes (XXS - 3XL) - All colors

$50 for Kids sizes (8,10,12) - Only come in Black, and Grey Marl

Print styles - 'RP' Logo, or 'Random Performance' writing

Print options are pretty simple. Tell me the size, color and print style you want. We'll make the rest work based on the hoodie color. Pictured are just a few proofs to give you the general idea.

These seriously are some of the best quality hoodies going around. Anyone with a hoodie from our last couple of runs will tell you this. They hold their shape really well, and are super warm.

It's worth noting, we don't make any money from the sales of these hoodies, it's purely just to offer a decent priced hoodie to anyone that may be in need for the winter.

All going well, we will put the order through within a week or so, and have them in our hands a few days after that. So, tell your friends, family, and anyone else that gets cold from time to time. You don't have to be into jetskis and blowing s**t up to wear one of our hoodies, you just need a desire to be warm.

Happy to ship anywhere in OZ and overseas at a low cost.
