Company Summary

The UPA Tube! UPA for short, an acronym meaning... “The Ultimate Paradise Apparatus!”

The UPA is a decked-out and teched-out personal recreational product. Dual season, to be used in water in the summer or on the winter snowy hillside.

There is nothing like it on the market anywhere. Use in in many scenarios: At the pool. Lounge in comfort as you enjoy the built-in Bluetooth Waterproof Speakers. Float down your favorite River, Pond, Lake, or Ocean. Lounge, catch rays, or use the included snorkel set to discover beautiful underwater wildlife. Attach the tow harness for high speed boat tubing. Last but not least, enjoy racing your friends down your favorite snowy hillside during the winter months. You will not believe the over 30 features of this fantastic product!!

There are 5 main reasons this should be one of the greatest opportunities on Gust today:

Number One: We have an extremely exciting product that does not exist in the marketplace.

Number Two: We have vastly superior design, marketing, and branding for a product in this market.

Number Three: We have very low-cost manufacturing already in place in The Philippines. Our manufacturer has over 400 workers, with the ability to churn out 250,000 units per month. They have been manufacturing soft goods for the likes of Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren and their factory is even WalMart, Sam's Club and Costco compliant already.

Number Four: The previous successes of the owner Federico DeLaCruz II. Federico is a seasoned product developer who has designed and executed product all over the globe for Electrolux, Rubbermaid, Lands' End and more. He has been an executive product developer for these companies, and was also courted to head up all product development for Frontgate and Disney, (Cars and Princess Products). Federico is an honors graduate of the University of Wisconsin Stout in Industrial Design and also a hard-charging former U.S. Marine.

Number Five: Federico's ultimate cause. In 2012, Federico left America to start up programs for the poor in his father's country of The Philippines. Since that time, he has instituted feeding programs for poor school children, medical and disaster relief programs, and he has opened a restaurant that serves as a soup kitchen in the am, serving the most needy of his community. His company is not a non-profit, but 75-90% of his profits get funneled into his programs for the needy. His for profit ventures are similar to the Tom's Shoe Company, who went into business to profit off of their shoes, and at the same time, provide them to the poor for free worldwide.
