Discmania hits Taiwan

As the strange crime surrounding the disappearance of our C-line prototypes is still being investigated in Finland, the CEO of Discmania Golf Discs, Jussi Meresmaa, is en route from Taiwan, where he attended the Asia Open, along with the victorious teammate Avery Jenkins.

Local player (72 years!) is teeing off at Taipei Disc Golf course.

After the international Asia Open in Taiwan, Avery and Jussi went to meet local players in the nearby Disc Golf Course (another of the two existing ones in Taiwan!). This small course had 9 home made baskets and multiple teeing areas. A bunch of locals were there to wait to see international stars in their home course!

Atmosphere was really friendly and even there were not common (speaking) language, Disc Golf language was unite! This afternoon was filled up with smiles, laugh and some good shots. After the round Avery kept a putting clinic (to be added later into our YouTube channel).

Discmania has hit Taiwan!

Surprisingly for us, Discmania had already hit Taiwan as these locals were throwing their tee shots with S-line PDs. Needless to say, this was very exiting news for us. Discmania is truly becoming an international brand among grass root players and we appreciate that.

Concerning the before-mentioned theft: According to our primary investigations, the we have narrowed the list down to undisclosed number of suspects. At this point we can’t publish the names of these suspects in order to not mess up the investigations. What we can say is that the trails seem to lead out of Finland. If you are cooking up a theory about this theft, please let us know by email. We will publish some of the submitted theories in our blog & facebook later on, if it is okay with the person providing the information. Thank you for your contributions so far, we’ve enjoyed them very much ;)

Burglary at the Discmania warehouse, C-line prototypes stolen!

The very second we arrived to our warehouse this morning and saw the tire marks in the snow, we realized that something wasn’t right. Once we got to the door, we noticed that the lock had been picked and it was still open. It was somehow freezing cold inside too. What was awaiting inside, we never would have guessed: Piles of discs lying on the ground – the thief must have been looking for something in particular.

At first we didn’t even realize what had been taken. Although the thief had left quite a mess behind, everything seemed to be in place, as if the thief hadn’t found what he/she was looking for. After a good ten minutes it finally hit us – “The briefcase! The briefcase is gone” someone shouted. The briefcase in mention happened to contain very valuable first prototypes of the new Discmania C-line models, the very first ones ever to be stamped with the new Discmania C-line stamp to be exact.

Then it became clear to us. The thief had definitely known what he was looking for. Very few people even knew about these discs. Had someone betrayed us?

Have you seen this briefcase?

Have you seen this briefcase?

Now, dear Discmaniacs, we need your help. If you have seen any of these new C-line discs being sold in secrecy or anyone moving around disc golf courses with a big metallic briefcase, we would very much like to know about it. The contents of that briefcase are very valuable and we don’t want the prototypes of our new line ending up in the wrong hands.

Please report every possible sighting either to the comments of this post or via email to: janne.lahtinen[at]discmania.fi
