A smoother ride might be in the offing for GoPro Inc. (NASDAQ:GPRO) according to CEO, Nick Woodman, who maintains the company had one of the best rides in terms of product sales last December.

“For us and our customers and our retailers it was a GoPro Inc. (NASDAQ:GPRO) Christmas. It was the best product introduction that we have ever had. […] We are really pleased with how the quarter went,” said Mr. Woodman.

GoPro impressive run in terms of sales comes down to the fact that its products are distributed by over 30,000 retailers all over the world something that continues to give it a competitive advantage among peers.

GoPro Inc. (NASDAQ:GPRO) is also looking to expand into international markets where future battle in terms of competition are poised to be fought in pursuit of growth opportunities.
