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,
Team Zap

Surf Report
Hey everyone today is Wednesday June 22. The surf is small just about knee high at best. The tide is high at 5:16 pm and low tide is at 11:15am. The water temp is 61° F. Great day to go stand-up paddle boarding!
Even though we don't have any surf, it doesn't mean that you can't get out on the water. We are officially geared up with Standup Paddle Boards, both here at the shop and down at The Surfing Bagel on Salisbury Beach. We offer 1/2 and full day rentals, as well as private and group lessons. I Will be going out for a paddle with some friends at 3 today, so if you are interested, swing by and we will get you all set up with everything you need. If you can't make it today, you are more than welcome to swing by either shop at anytime and get all set up. Right now in the shop, we have Doyle boards starting at $799. They are great beginner or cruiser boards. Dense foam topsheet with solid fiberglass bottom will keep you going all day long. For you more serious paddlers out there, we have the top of the line CoreBan boards in all shapes and sizes. They are starting at $1,200 and run up from there.
This Saturday and Sunday is the Sand and Sea Festival on Salisbury Beach. We are Starting Saturday off with the most important event. The 1st annual Linda Jo Memorial Walk. This is a walk to raise money for underprivileged children and Ovarian cancer research. 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
