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,

Team Zap

We would like to thank everyone who helped out with The Linda Jo Memorial walk that was postponed until this morning. We raised a good amount of money all going toward cancer research studies. Thank you for everyone that showed up yesterday and was unable to make it this morning too!
