Stay Posi for Japan...

By: Paul Gemignani





Hey everybody, as you know there has obviously been a terrible natural disaster over in Japan and global relief and aid is needed very badly, even in a country that is very technologically advanced as Japan, they need all the love and helpful people they can get to save their family and loved ones at this time. Especially our friend Tadashi Fuse, one of the owners of the YES. Snowboards family, who's hometown is very close to where the Tsunami hit. Please send your positive vibes his way and if you can help donate to the relief, please read below on how to.
