This new website.
Our first website went live in 1995 or 1996, I honestly can’t remember. Built by longtime friends at Outer Banks Internet, we felt like we were on the cutting edge. Two guys with a 500 square foot shack, 10 used boards and a couple tee shirts were somehow early adopters in the earliest days of the internet, and it sure felt good.
For those of you out there who have known us a long time, you know we have had a number of different versions over the years. Our most recent site was created by the talented guy who shot and edited our DVD, Soundwaves a few years ago. One-time pro hang gliding pilot and self-taught Mac man, GW Meadows is forging ahead in tech these days sailing the world and putting graphics on the sports fields on your TV. We thank him for our most recent incarnation.
Today, however, we unveil the 2009 overhaul of our web presence, and we couldn’t be more stoked. Integrating Flickr, YouTube, WordPress, and our show ticketing partners, this site brings the power of the latest tech and the hottest social media tools to bear in our ongoing quest to share the love Pit-style. There is a lot to see here and a ton of information about who we are and what The Pit is all about. But more importantly, this site makes it easier for us to share what is going on in real-time. From photos of last night’s dance party to the skinny on Justin’s latest lunch creation, pitsurf.com will be that bookmark you click to when you’re looking to reconnect with all of the fun, fashion, food, and funk that is your fond memories of The Pit. So whether you are around the way or one of our far flung friends around the world, thanks for getting us here. This site, like The Pit itself, is, and always has been, for you.
Well, enjoy the new site. And shoot us and email, a tweet, or a message on facebook or myspace. However you reach out, we are looking forward to hearing from you… and seeing you in the water.
