YOLO Board and Vacayzen Announce New Partnership
Santa Rosa Beach, Florida — January 22, 2016 — Two local companies — YOLO Board and Vacayzen– announced a new partnership in rental services. Both companies started in Walton County and service a large area of Northwest Florida.
Jeff Archer created YOLO Board in 2006, armed with the motto “You Only Live Once” and a deep passion for sharing the emerging sport of standup paddling with the community. Jacob Watkins and Phillip Poundstone founded Vacayzen in 2012 with the mission to help families create the best vacation experience possible.
“We bought our first rental paddleboards from Jeff when we started our business in 2012”, said Watkins. “We are so excited to partner with him as he shares the same high standards in customer service that are imperative for success.”
“We have always aligned ourselves with the best in the business and Vacayzen certainly qualified in this arena,” said Archer. “We considered offering rental deliveries in-house, but with our company moving into many other ventures, we felt that we should hand it over to the experts.”
The two companies have joined forces for paddleboard and bike delivery in Walton and Okaloosa County. They are also in the process of producing a custom line of Vacayzen YOLO bikes, which will roll-out in the spring of 2016. Rental opportunities are available on both company’s websites.
“YOLO Board has always strived to create memorable experiences for people,” Archer said. “This partnership will allow that to happen on a bigger scale in this community. Together YOLO board and Vacayzen are going to be able to provide our customers with the highest quality product and service at the best value and this translates into the kind of YOLO experience we want every customer and visitor to enjoy.”
