Boards, boards boards

Hey Shredders. Look we’ve got a few super nice used boards in the shop at the moment so don’t fret about what to ride. Just come on down and see what one feels like under your arm. We’re also waiting of a fresh batch of Channel Islands sleds. We’ll let you know soon as they get here. And finally don’t forget that we’ve got the latest flip flops from Vans and Cobian. Better get some before your size and colour are sold out.

Here’s a little Dane Reynolds to get you amped.

Does you shaper surf like this?

We love handmade surfboards. It’s extra confidence inspiring when your board was shaped by someone who knows how to surf and is constantly testing and tweaking. Timmy Patterson testing in Cloudbreak.

and here is Tim Stamps testing in his local arena. We’ve got several new and used boards in the shop. Come on it and take a look.

Hope you guys got some waves over the past few days. We did.

Friday afternoon

Well folks it’s the end of a long week without much surf. We’ve been busy here at the shop with our new spring arrivals. We’ve got loads of styles of flip flops for you to choose from.

Spring fashions

Hey all. There’s lots to be stoked about in mid-April. Sun, warm weather and longer days is enough for most. But also there’s the prospect of new adventures, new threads and new…. we’ll let your imagination take hold. In the meantime here’s a little slide show of some of what’s new in the store. There are lots of styles of slippers for girls and guys from Vans, Cobian and more. Check it out. And don’t forget to join us Facebook if you haven’t already!

Friday News

The Spring issue of SBC Surf is out now and it’s packed with East Coast photos and content. There’s a profile of shop team rider Myles Baldwin as well as an article penned by teamster Dean Petty. Be sure to grab one and check it out.

In other news the SANS spring contest looks like it will go this weekend. Check the SANS site after noon today to see the details about the day and heat info.

In ASP news old man Kelly Slater took the win over Mick Fanning in this year’s second ASP event. It goes to show that learning to surf in sloppy choppy wind swell pays off.

Hey we’ve got a few new Timmy Patterson boards in the shop including a sweet resin swirled 6’1” quad fish. Come by to see for yourself. We also have a bunch of new clothes from RVCA, Lucy Love and more …and some fresh new Smith sunglasses.






DIY Friday – wetsuit repair or replace

It’s been a long winter and for some of us wetsuit repair is imminent. Here’s a handy little clip to show you one way of doing it. And if your suit is just too far gone then we can help with that too. We carry three brands of limestone based wetsuits – Patagonia, West and Matuse. Limestone neoprene absorbs less water than traditional petrol based rubber, keeping you warmer longer. Do it.

Finally, don’t forget to sign up for SANS spring surf contest. It’s your time to shine.

Sunny days

Our friend Damon sent us this great photo that he took last week on one of the glorious sunny days. It’s a nice reminder that summer is on it’s way. Spring is here now for sure and with it comes rain and iffy swells. Rumor has it (actually I was there) that there were some fun waves early this morning. Sometimes you just gotta go and look at it.

We’ve got lots of new threads and other cool gear coming in on a regular so come on in while on your lunch break or after class.

Nor’Easter Contest announced

SANS will be hosting the annual spring contest again this year at Lawrencetown beach. Visit the SANS site for more information. And speaking of contests, the Bells Beach waiting period begins March 30th -there’s still time for Fantasy Surfer.

Last week we scored some really fun surf but the weekend was pretty flat. Hopefully the swell showing in the models for later this week will come together. In the meantime stop by the shop and check out our spring arrivals. Stuff is coming in all the time. We’ll have some classic Vans in stock too!

and for those of you thinking about getting a short hi-volume performance board, here’s some eye candy. We’ve got a couple of rad T. Patterson Rising Suns in the shop as well as CI Whips. Feeling frogy? then jump!
