Digest #275 (That's a big number. Whoda thunk.) 
 
I'm calling it BLEXIT (aka Buoy Lab's exit). The big news is that Buoy has been acquired. After you read the announcement, see another article in which Buoy CEO Keri Water's reflects on the whole thing. By the way, Keri's new title is Vice President and General Manager.
 
You already know that Santa Cruz is a hub for sports tech, such as electric skateboards. We have two articles this week about bike tech: one about the new PACKA from Blix and another about Bontrager WavCel helmet technology.  
 
There's more so scroll down and start reading the news!
