Happy 4th of July everyone!!!!!

Happy Independence day gang!!!!! I mean holy shit what a day for a celebration. As i sit down to write my blog today, I can't help but notice the sand in my toes and the smell of the ocean capturing memories of my childhood at the beach on the 4th. If you are reading this at work today, I am very sorry and you need to find a damn good excuse to get the hell outta there.





Todays blog spot is being brought to you live from the Surfing bagel down at salisbury beach. We are enjoying a beautiful 85 degree day with a water temp of 67 and a super light and warm sse wind. We will be here today till at least 7. As for the surf, there is minimal ankle to knee high wind swell. What that means though is that it is a great day for a paddle. I know that there are a lot of people out there that are still not sold on the new craze of SUP's, and honestly I was one of you at one point too. What I have come to realize over the last few weeks of no surf is that it is still better to be on the water than sitting on your couch. If you are looking for a new form of exercise and hate the gym, then do what I have done and make it the ocean. Stand ups are not only great exercise, but they are also a great form of stress relief. There are no problems in the world or in life when you are out on the water, so if this holiday weekend has put you in a "mood" then get your ass down to the beach and get out on the water.

In other news, we have the biggest surf art and music fest on the Eastern seaboard taking place this weekend with the likes of Howie Day and Donavon Frankenreiter headlining the music. We are also going to have world famous surf artist Jay Alders here signing prints and showing off his work. But the big news of that weekend is that we are going to be featuring the work of mainly local artists and musicians. The line up will include local music from:
The Dead Air Project
Todo Bien
Michael Bernier & The Uprising
Big Hamdsome Daddy
Before the Crash
Plum Island Pans
Hot Like Fire

The lineup of local Artists is just as rad and I'm sure that you are going to be super impressed with the local talent pool we have in the area. The art lineup is:
John O'Callaghan
Hannan Vokey
Eric Zak
Shane Taylor
Billy Crisafi
Sean Davies
John Carden
Ed O'Connell

We are also having a skate contest on Saturday right here on the beach, along with a longboard comp. This Saturday will also feature the second of our Paddle Battle competition. This is our summer long stand up paddle board race series. You can check it out at atlanticpaddlebattle.com 

Well gang I would love to continue to ramble on here about life and surfing and sun and waves and women in skinny bikinis, but I need to go paddle with women in skinny bikinis. 


Ahahahahaha peace out everyone, enjoy the shit outta your day!! I know that I am and if you want a piece of this come on down to Salisbury and get some. Gotta run gang!!!!

See you in the water, in the bar and everywhere in between.

Peace and Love on this amazing Independence Day!

Surf Report

Good Morning folks. Wow what a day outside! I got to start my week off right with a killer paddle from the Surfing Bagel down to the Merrimac River mouth and back. It was as good as it gets out there and right now isn't that much different. If you want to go for a SUP today call me here at the shop and we can get you out front on Seabrook Beach, or set you up in Salisbury. Either way it is just a perfect day to go play in the water. Right now we have glassy thigh to waist high sets depending on your spot. The wind is coming out of the WSW and will shift to east at 5mph around noon. The air temp is going to hit 80 and we are loking at a sunny day all day! The light onshore will offer you a cool breeze but will not affect your paddle or surf. Right now the water is WARM. I was in trunks this morning and it felt great. I would suggest a 2mm top and trunks today if you surf and just trunks if you paddle.

Right now at the shop we are fully stocked with all your beach needs. We have chairs, umbrellas, floats, tubes, footballs, sunscreen and anything else you can think of. We have a full selection of blaster boogie boards ranging from $45-$89. If you fancy the boogie then come on down and check em out. We are also fully geared up with Electric, Dragon and Smith sunglasses and we also have a plethora of long sk8's starting at $99. Basically what I am trying to say, is that we here at Zapstix, have EVERYTHING you could possibly need to get out and enjoy this beautiful summer day.

Come on down and say hi or just hang out, it doesn't matter to me. I'll be here till 2 then you can come hang with our team rider James from then till 6. Have a tremendous day y'all and we'll see you in the water!!!!

Peace,

You can pre-register by emailing Teresa at teresa_quinn6@comcast.net or you can also register with us Saturday morning at 9 am sharp at the shop. The walk starts at 9:30 from Zapstix and is 3 miles on the beach to the Surfing Bagel. It is a $25 entry fee with all proceeds going to the Linda Jo Memorial Fund.



We are following up the walk with the second heat of our paddle Battle Race Series. For those of you who don't know, with the help of local business man Wayne Capolupo, we were able to start up the Atlantic Paddle Board Association. It is the first governing body of it's kind, and we are all super stoked on what this will bring to the sport. You can check out the race details and events at atlanticpaddlebattle.com The best part is that if you can't make it to Saturdays race, we are taking the best of your four times to determine the winner. So that means that you still have the next four races to get up here and make a name for your self. I mean, with a $5,000 cash purse, you'd be kinda insane not to get up here and show your stuff. After all the healthy activities, we would like you all to join us next door to the Surfing Bagel at SurfSide 5. We will all be there in full force sharing stories over ice cold Corona's and lobsters.http://www.northshorepavilion.com/surfside5/surfside5-home.html

 So please, if you have time, come on up get your walk on, your paddle on and your party on. We appreciate all your continued support, and look forward to seeing you this weekend. Thats all I got today folks, swing by, say high, or come meet me at 3 in Salisbury for a Paddle.

Peace and Happiness
