SUP's ON SALE

Doyle SUP's are ON SALE here at the shop. We currently have three left at 11' original price was $1250 and right now they are only $1099 with pad. Come down, try one out and see what you think. At this size they are perfect for catching waves or going for a nice long flat water paddle with your pals!

So the surf is flat today and the wind is out of the SW at around 10-mph. It doesn't look like there is going to be any surf for the rest of the week, but we could see a movement around the middle of next week so keep an eye on it.

Even when it's this flat, there is always something to do. Today was my day to get reacquainted to Super Brand. This is a new up and coming brand that is doing it right. They have three of the hottest surfers out there backing their brand and killing it at the same time. The proof is in the pudding people. http://www.superbranded.com/ So I have found a little snip it of what super is all about so sit back and enjoy....

Hurricane Bill: Garrett McNamara SUP surfing RI - Stand Up Paddle in HD

One more thing for today. This is what is capable of SUP's here on the North East. Just do us all a favor and if your in an actual lineup please don't use the size of the board to your advantage. Even though he is a "pro" there needs to be some sort of order and you need to know that you have to give up the set waves and not be greedy. Just remember, people are looking for an excuse to hate on SUP's so don't give them one, be respectful!!

USED BOARDS!!!!!!!!

Not to much out front today gang. We are looking at knee high LB sets at best. The wind is light out of the NNW, high tide is @ 12:30 and low is at 6:30. Water temp is hovering around 58-60 so boots and or gloves might be appropriate if you really need to get wet. Full selection of Rip Curl and O'Neill boots and gloves are here so come get some before they are gone!

So today is the day for some SUP action. For those of you who have been wondering what this new phenomena is all about, today would be a great day to come on in and try one out. We have daily rentals here at the shop, and also down at our bagel shop, the Surfing Bagel located on Salisbury Beach. SUP's are a great way to stay out on the ocean on flat days and incorporate daily exercise into your life. Anyone that enjoys being healthy and fit, but hates the crowd's, smell and persona of the gym, would love getting on an SUP. They are peaceful, fun and a killer work out. Plus on days like today you might just be able to catch a little knee high wave!! Prices start at $1099 and run upwards from there depending on performance and size. Right now in the shop we do have an SUP on consignment. It is a 9'2" Riviera Paddle Surf  "NUGG" with a 5 box set up. As of right now it is set us as a 2 + 1 so it is extremely versatile in waves. So if you are looking for a killer deal for a wave catching SUP then swing on down. This board comes with board bag, full carbon paddle, and paddle bag. The asking price right now for the whole shibang is only $1250!!

Right now we also have a great selection of used short boards in our surfboard loft. If you need to gear up and grab a great used winter board we have you covered. Here are just few little nuggets to get your attention!

Maryhill Freeride 2010: Sector 9 Edition

Maryhill freeride 2010 went off. If you think you are rad, check this out and let me know what you think. Personally I think this looks like a ton of fun, but then again I'm not standing at the top of the hill! But to me scarring the you know what out of your self every once in a while is a great thing, so who wants to try it out? I know I do.....

Surf Report Wed. Sept 22

Good morning all, as you probably already know that swell that never really showed up has already faded to knee to thigh high at best. There are still some logging sets out there to be had so if you need to get wet get on it. The tides low today at around 5:30 so there might still be some leftovers out there with the incoming. As far as swell for the rest of the week it doesn't look good. There is a possibility of a knee high wind swell Saturday and some waves on Sunday but I'm not making any promises. Just keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best, and remember that when it's flat we here at Zapstix have all your long skate needs covered.

Speaking of those needs, did you know that we are a fully authorized dealer of bern head protection? For any of you out there that don't know, bern is a local company that prides it's self on grass roots movements and giving back to the community and all the people that spread the good word and vibe. Head protection is a hot topic in the action sports industry right now, and for good reason. Kids are going bigger than ever before and the progression is just unbelievable. I will be the first one to admit that when I'm doing anything but surfing, I am wearing a helmet. Not just any helmet, but a bern. They are made with all the newest technology on the market. They are some of the lightest and defiantly the most stylish helmets out there. So please do them, us, and above all your head a favor and check them out at http://www.bernunlimited.com/ .  We also have a full line of bern audio and outerwear in stock. So if you want to get berned and snag one of those hoodies and flat brims that you see kicking around this area come on down and just say hi!!

In other news, our shipment of fall and winter rubber has been released and is expected by the end of the week or early next week. So for those of you who have put off buying that new suit the time is now. We are gong to be receiving the best of the best from Rip Curl and O'neill including the best 4/3 I have ever surfed, The Mutant. The Mutant is by far the most versatile suit on the market. It has sealed seams to keep you in the water longer, but it also has a detachable hood. That alone should be enough for anyone out there. For those chilly mornings when you need your dome piece warm you have a hood, and once it warms up you can run up to the car and zip on your crew collar. See two suits in one!!

I also received two boxes from Rip Curl yesterday containing the latest in mens fall fashion. We have flannels, hoodies, track jackets and some late release tee's. This is just the beginning of our fall season so expect more style from Rip Curl and O'neill as the fall rolls on.

And for all you ladies out there, a full line of Roxy and O'Neill denim has arrived!!! We have also received brand new hoodies, jackets, and sweats so what ever you need to keep you warm on these perfect fall night, we have you covered. But with fall comes the end of summer. What does this mean? Well guys it means the end of bikini season. Bummer I know, but ladies what this means to you is all bikinis are 1/2 off!!! Thats right, I said 1/2 off!!! We still have a ton of styles, sizes and colors left, so if you want to gear up cheap for next summer come on down and try some on!

Thats it for today folks enjoy the rest of the picks of the shop and I'm outta here to go catch some logging sets. As always take care, be good to your neighbor and i'll see you in the water!!!
