Transcripts

Nalle, thank you for coming to Padel Smash.

Let's

start here.

What are the amenities there?

10 courts in downtown Miami.

So, you know, I think we cannot beat the location.

Oh no, it's a great location.

Yeah, absolutely.

Incredible.

So, so what turf are you guys using?

So we're using, um, so we built courts with Mehosset and

we're using the, the latest.

Uh, apparently the latest generation of, uh, of Mondo, uh,

Mondo course, the Mondo shots.

Yeah.

It's, uh, if you want to get into the details, I, I, I love it.

It's not because it's texturized or it's, yeah, it's texturized and it's,

it's, it's between your, so the minute monofilament that we have known for so

many years with, with A lot of sand.

Um, uh, it's not like that, but it's not like the, the first generation

of texturized, uh, courts, which have very little or almost no sand that are

a bit sticky sometimes for the knees.

It's right in between.

Good.

Yeah.

I really think you're doing panoramics.

Yes.

They're not, they're panoramic courts on the back, uh, with, uh, with the silicone.

So no, uh, no screws anywhere.

Okay.

So, and since we have the, um, camera technology, we have three cameras

on each of the premium courts.

It will allow our customers to, without even registering, just the

fact that they're playing on those courts, uh, they will allow them

to tap on the side of the court.

Uh, if they want to mark a trim inside the game, when they're filming, And let's

say at the end of the game, if they have, um, marked 4, 5, 7 trims because there

was that many great shots, they just need to use their phone and, uh, uh, scan the

QR code on the, on the screen and poof, you get access to all of that right away.

Genius.

And with the unbelievable, you know what I thought of that two years ago?

Okay.

And I presented it to a club and, and that is, that is what people want.

Yeah.

It's genius.

But it's got to be, listen, we, technology is great, but it has to be user friendly,

you know, and, and we selected this, uh, and we worked actually on it ourselves

with a French company, uh, called Spash.

Uh, and we really, really, and I hope, I hope it's going to come out

the way that we, we, we intended to.

So there's a membership and there's a non membership.

The membership, it's 1, 200, a membership a year.

A hundred bucks a month.

A hundred bucks a month.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But it's a one-time fee.

Okay?

So you pay, you're a member for one year, and you have an adversary date doesn't,

you don't have to start a specific date.

And, um, then, um, it gives you, and then if you're not a member,

or regardless if you're a member or not, it's, uh, the prices are,

uh, on the main course is $135.

Okay?

An hour, an hour and a half.

An hour and a half.

Okay?

And, and $155.

on the premium courts if you, if you're a member, then you pay 135 on every court.

Okay, okay, so you get 15.

Yes, you get a 15 percent discount.

And what, what other premium courts, where do you define a premium court?

So there's four premium courts that have More amenities or more comfort.

When I, what do I mean?

There is six courts that have a, about two meters.

So, you know, six feet between the courts, which is not enough to allow exits.

You know, when you play at a high level and there's exits and the four premium

courts do have each one, the, uh, the correct size for the ears, for the exits.

Then we're going to have, uh, they're also next to the clubhouse.

They're more exposed.

And then we're going to have the video technology and the video technology

is not only what I just described, it's also for the, uh, we have.

A special lesson that, uh, we'll start with me first because, uh, I'm going to

give a few lessons there for, uh, for the people who want to get a full scope of

their game, basically, uh, we, we will analyze what the video, their game from A

to Z, and then we'll spend 15, 20 minutes.

in front of a screen, describing with drawings and everything, uh, what they're

doing right, what they're doing wrong.

And then they can leave with that recording at home and work with it.

That's great.

Come back, maybe take some lessons to work on those, those

details they want to improve.

Um, and come back a month later, redo the video to see how they improved

those cameras, the same cameras that they do in the play by play,

or those are different cameras.

So, no, they, there is three cameras on each court.

One camera is the camera you're talking about, which is the overall look.

The bird's eye.

And then there's two cameras that are in the corners, not in the corners based,

but there's filming at the corners to be able to see your technique.

Oh, okay.

Okay.

And then we have a third, a fourth cameras, but more with a, we have a

system that goes with the iPads that you can actually, if you want to

specifically film something at the net, for instance, or so on that the angle

of the cameras placed is not getting.

You can get that out as well.

Wow.

Incredible.

Yeah.

Okay.

So what other benefits do the members have?

Or is that, is that pretty much it?

The, the membership at Parex is really for the people who want to belong.

It's for the people who, um, come and play a lot.

It doesn't give you necess.

It's not, it's not, it's not a money play.

Uh, the people who take the the membership are the ones that

wanna play on the premium courts.

They want to be, uh, invited to the social events.

We'll have some social events once, uh, once or twice a quarter, specifically

reserved to the, to the members.

We'll, they'll get some merchandise.

We'll have, uh, we have some specific merchandise for Miami

Padel in, um, Padel X in Miami.

Uh, that we are very actually proud of saying that we're

recycling a hundred percent.

Everything is made out of a hundred percent recycled plastic.

Wow.

Yes.

That's incredible.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We, we really, really, it's really a cool thing.

Even our furniture is made and you will have a tag.

on your merch that will tell you exactly how many bottles were used

for that piece of, of, of murder.

Yeah.

We're going to have, um, so a shirt, like a polo shirt is about 11, 11

bottles or, or a long sleeve shirt is 18.

Wow.

A cap is seven and, and even our benches are 1800, you know?

Wow.

Yeah.

It's incredible.

Yeah.

It's, it's.

So do the, do the members get access to reserving courts sooner or not?

Yes.

Okay.

So that's, that's.

To me, I think that's going to be the biggest perk.

Yeah.

Because the members will get access to the reservation of the course two weeks in

advance, and they'll be able to book the course five times over those, those two

weeks and rolling, rolling reservation.

So for the people who really want to play at specific times, uh, on specific

days, uh, that's definitely something that there will be interested in.

The non members will only get two reservations, uh, for the

In a period of three days.

Oh, that's it.

Okay.

That's all that.

So that's a huge part.

Let us know a little bit what, um, everybody needs to write a bracket.

So what brands are you going to have?

I mean, what, what, what can I get when I go to the club?

We're actually partnering with Lacoste for, uh, the first two years.

Um, adventure into Padel.

They haven't built a brand yet, but, uh, they've, uh, we've been able to,

um, secure a partnership with them and we're producing, and we're going to

be dressing all our pros in Lacoste.

We have an amazing collection, branding, uh, with Padel Alex,

also the Lacoste collection.

And for the, the material, we, we, we're going to be working

with Nuestro, Palo Nuestro.

Um, the idea was we didn't want to specifically engage with one

brand where we would impose to all our pros to play with a racket.

They're not necessarily familiar with, um, and that's, you know, for now it's

a great deal to be with Palo Nuestro.

They're the biggest distributors out there.

Um, so it allows us to be a little bit flexible.

Of course, they will help.

our pros to, uh, to be, uh, equipped for the rackets and the bags, but otherwise

for all the rest is with Lacoste.

All our viewers and listeners, they're getting excited.

Is there an opening day?

Uh, is there, is there some, I mean, is there a specific day?

I mean, everybody's getting excited with all this.

So we're going to be very careful with that because you only have

One chance of being doing a first impression is really important.

Um, so we, we're going to soft open, open softly first, uh, friends and family

before, before you, I mean, once we get, um, before we have everything set up,

we don't want to receive the public in, in a place that is not fully finished.

And then we're opening to the public.

Hopefully in the next two weeks.

Great.

And, um, and we'll go from there.

We're planning on having a grand opening bit later in April.
