Stonyboater LLC Retailer Proposal
| . |
Welcome to Stonyboater LLC makers of the soon to be
world famous Stonyboater Paddle Wax. My name is
Jason Rigby inventor and co-owner of Stonyboater LLC,
and along with my partner Dan Sullivan, I would like to
offer you the opportunity to sell the absolute best grip
enhancing product available for any type of paddling
from kayaking and canoeing, to rafting, sea kayaking,
dragon boat racing, and oar driven rafts. I came up with
the name Stonyboater from my favorite place to paddle
the Stonycreek River in Johnstown , Pennsylvania. The
city was recently named one of the top five places to live
in the country for whitewater boating by American
Whitewater, and hosts over a dozen whitewater rivers,
creeks, and a variety of options for flat water paddling.
About Stonyboater
For years my boating partner and close friend Sully and I had
dreamt of ways to enter the paddlesports industry and all we were
missing was that special product. Well after using “surf wax” for a
season and enjoying the grip provided but hating the mess, I sought
out to create a better paddle wax. And I did, so I started Stonyboater
LLC three years ago in the comfort of my home office in
Greensburg, Pennsylvania.
The problems with the surf wax were that it melted easily when
placed under the normal rigors of paddling , and required multiple
applications throughout the day or play boating session. When
paddling the wax is under constant heat and pressure from your
hands causing the wax to melt and upon cooling and drying the wax
becomes brittle and flakes off.
Stonyboater Paddle Wax resists the melting and cooling cycle
common to the microcrystalline and paraffin based products created
by the competition. The patent pending formula of Stonyboater
Paddle Wax has a melting point above 159 degrees F enabling it to
withstand the melting and cooling cycle which causes the competition
to dry and flake off.
I hold a Degree in Environmental Science from the University of
Pittsburgh. The chemistry background from my education gave me
the knowledge of solubility and melting point properties, necessary
to come up with the patent pending Stonyboater Paddle Wax formula.
Another profound benefit of our product is that it’s produced with
100% all natural ingredients with proven healing powers for the skin.
Formula has been proven to reduce the occurrence of calluses on
the hands and can be safely used for other applications to the skin. (
See Other Uses )
We have given out 1000’s of samples and sold 1000’s of units
both domestically and internationally with 100% positive feedback.
Why use paddle wax?
1. Creates super strong grip keeping your hands “stuck” to the
paddle while not sticking to your hands.
2. High melting point allows wax to stay on the paddle where it is
needed without continually melting off.
3. Eliminates paddle flutter during the stroke and improves control
during bracing and rolling.
6. One product works both in warm and cold environments.
7. Works with bare or gloved hands. For boaters using gloves wax
helps eliminate over gripping which can cause muscle strain.
Health Benefits
Currently being researched by physical and occupational therapists
to determine the exact degree of fatigue relief. However, we can say
after three years of extensive testing that the reduction of fatigue is
greater that 50% when compared to no extra grip.
1. Superior grip created by our product allows boaters to use a
lighter grip thus reducing fatigue to the muscles and joints of the
hands, arms and shoulder.
2. Reduction in fatigue thereby causes a reduced risk of incurring a
repetitive motion injury.
See What the BUZZ is about
Our base ingredient is beeswax and you will find that over 70% of
consumers are aware of the issues affecting the bee population.
Through purchase of our product they are supporting a healthy bee
population here in the U.S. as the majority of our wax is produced by
domestic apiaries.
Bee products are proven to be good for the skin and have
healing and restorative properties. After three years of extensive
testing we can safely claim that our product reduces the occurrence
of calluses. And can be used effectively to heal irritation of the skin
with no harmful side effects.
Our product is 100% ALL NATURAL and appeals to an
environmentally conscientious consumer base whom the paddle
sports market appeals directly to.
Multi-Discipline Consumer Base
1. Anyone who uses a paddle or oar can realize the performance
and health benefits.

Other Uses
Grip on nose for nose plugs.
Simply warm a small amount of paddle wax in your hand and
place a small amount on either your nose plugs or directly to the
nose.
On the neck to prevent Dry-Top chaffing and soreness.
For paddlers using dry tops with latex gaskets apply a small
amount to the neck in the “high-wear” areas and the wax will help
prevent chaffing and also help further shed any unwanted water that
may try to enter your neck gasket. Wax also helps to condition latex
gaskets to extend their active life.
On cockpit rim to help keep skirt from imploding.
Rub wax on cockpit rim to keep cockpit rim in place and beeswax
naturally sheds water.
Water proof seams on dry tops, tents, and other items.
Warm some wax in your hand or pocket and rub on dry top
seems, raincoat seams, tent seams, etc…. and the leaks will stop.
High melting point of wax keeps seam sealer in place.
Grip on ear and nose for no-slip sunglasses.
Simply warm a small amount of paddle wax in your hand and
place a small amount on either your nose piece area or directly to
the nose. Place a small dab behind the ears or directly to the stem of
your glasses to decrease slippage on sweaty heads.
Easy Sale
Through our sales and marketing research at our original three
retail stores ( Riversport School of Paddling, Wilderness Voyageurs,
Adventure Sports Center International), it has proven to be an easy
suggestive sell to anyone purchasing a kayak or canoe paddle for
flat-water or whitewater recreation.
When you explain the benefits, or you point out the display ( we
also offer attractive POP displays for you to sell or give to customers
with order incentives), to customers the product sells itself. We at
Stonyboater LLC like to think of our product as the cheapest most
immediate impact you can make on your paddling skills.
An improved grip leads to better strokes, better bracing, better
rolling, and a longer day on the water due to less fatigue. The first
time your customers use the product they will notice an immediate
difference with their first strokes.
All this and you get our continual support through Sponsorship of
events and athletes, advertising in magazines, trade publications,
and internet banners on paddle sports web sites.
