Travelling Sales rep Appointments in Europe 2024 to buy balsa wood

Dear Shapers, We will have a sales rep on the road in Europe in the next few months. Please take a look at the dates below to see if he is coming near you to drop in and show you some balsawood.

He will be taking orders for wood and also talking to you about organising a shapers day for Mark to come over from Australia to do some shaping classes if you are interested in seeing how Mark has made his boards in Australia for the past 26 years. He is looking for partners to build boards and leverage the Riley name to help you sell more boards.
