Dbot5 loves you!… and you’ll love them too!

smallakin — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 06:54:55 +0000

After heading out to Surf Expo in Orlando, I expected to come back excited about sweet new t-shirts, stylin’ sunglasses, and badass wakeboard graphics. Although there were definitely some of those, I came back stoked on an unexpected product…. Golf clubs. That’s right, I found some noteworthy golf clubs for those that participate in the more traditional sport, but are tired of it being the one area in your life that lacks that necessary steez. Dbot5 is a company that creates a completely random mix of products; speakers for wakeboard towers, travel bags, t-shirts, and yes, golf clubs. The thing that catches your eye about these clubs at first is the bags. The golf bags come in a classic black, hail mary neon green, and hail mary hot pink. But it doesn’t stop at style, the clubs are a bonafide high quality set; all you golfers can check out the specs here: Hail Mary Pinks. or fall in love with the Hail Mary greens after the jump…
