We caught up with Greg to get an official Surf Band Pro update and we have some great news to share! Greg told us that since airing, “people have been purchasing non-stop.”
He went on to say, “Customers have been writing us to say how much they love the product and coming up with suggestions that are really great ideas.”
Since appearing on the show, Surf Ban Pro has partnered with the United Nations to help promote its United to Beat Malaria campaign. “We see the potential of our product helping people combat malaria in the future as day-biting mosquitoes are a new behavior,” Greg told us.
“For every band that you purchase, we are donating the equivalent to United to Beat Malaria.”
We are so glad to share a positive Surf Band Pro update and know that the future is bright for Greg. To learn more, check out the official Surf Band Pro website.
