Dear epyic Crew,
Like many, we were deeply saddened by the events in Bondi. Our thoughts are with those affected, their loved ones, and the wider community. Moments like these remind us how important care, connection, and looking out for one another truly are.
As we wrap up the year, we want to say a heartfelt thank you for being part of this journey with us. Your support, feedback, and shared love for getting outside have meant more than you know. We wish you a safe, restful holiday season and a strong start to the new year.
This week’s issue is a little different, with a special focus on active holiday season events and New Year’s adventures to carry you through to 2026. We’ll be taking a short break and will be back on 06 January, ready to take things to the next level for our adventure community.
In the meantime, epyic.com is always there if you’re looking for something to get you outside.
Much love, and see you out there.
Your Team epyic.com (Chris & Stella)
