Remember when we all thought 2020 was awful. Then we had 2021, and we all thought it couldn't get any worse... WEEEELLLL.... 2022 seems to be competing for attention. 

Over the weekend, our good friends and early Bixpy supporters, Viking Kayaks lost their entire operations in Matamata, New Zealand to a devastating fire. 

A faulty switchboard caused the after-hour fire that virtually destroyed their entire operation in New Zealand. Fortunately, no one was hurt. Unfortunately, almost all was lost and much of their loss is not covered by insurance. 

The Viking Team is Viking strong, and we have no doubt that they will build back better and stronger in the weeks and months ahead. But they can definitely use some help. 

Bixpy will do its part to support Viking Kayaks with product, open terms and financial aid to ensure they come back even faster and stronger. 

We would also like to ask our community of friends and supporters to pitch in and help if you can. 

Visit Give a Little or Go Fund Me to donate what you can to help rebuild this amazing brand and family business. 

Also, don't forget to follow them on FaceBook and IG and give them some love and support.
