30 Words

After recieving the first of the guides last week, it was time for some fun.  I am lucky to have a great model (my younger cousin) who was willing to work for two popsicles.  Considering that a popsicle is roughly equal to our weekly salary at 30 Words, we felt she was well compensated.  

Many thanks to our brave cousin!

After testing the guide’s strength by suspending our cousin, we challenged our guides to hold a little more weight.  I was able to hang from our guide until my arms gave out.  We knew our material was durable, but we were still impressed with the results!  Also, even after this test, the 30 Words guide still folded up nicely.  

Yes - 30 Words are strong. We are not sure if we would recommend doing pull-ups with your guide - this is PURELY for effect.

We also took our guides out around our home in San Francisco’s Mission District.  It was fun to see how some of our neighbors reacted to our unique guides.  While most of our neighborhood is fluent in Spanish, our neighbors were impressed by 30 Words’ unique design… Perhaps they simply enjoyed the chance to try chopping through a guide.

 Thanks for checking in!  If you have any 30 Words photos you would like to submit send them in and we will try to work them into our site.  

Also, If you have some ideas for strength tests you would like to see 30 Words perform, please send us a note.  We love a good challenge!
