DO YOU EVEN DISC GOLF BRO?
Haakan and Dakota T. are putting together an order for Block 15 disc golf discs! Each disc will have Block 15 artwork on it, so they’ll be dope AF. The discs are coming from Dynamic Discs, and will be roughly $14 a piece, depending on how many people show interest. The type of disc is called the "Maverick" and the description and specs can be found on their web site.
If you are interested in placing an order, please email Haakan at haakan@block15.com. Cash payment will only be accepted, and Haakan will let you know when the discs are in!
Any additional questions can be directed to Haakan or Dakota T.
