If you're keeping track then you know today is day 10 of the never ending Nor' Easter. SURF SURF SURF!!! We're getting spoiled and it feels so good. Yesterday in the lineup I heard someone say "it's like I went on a surf trip but never left home". I think that pretty much sums it up. Head plus for over a week, just like a surf trip. While it's not head high today it's pretty damn fun and should be the same tomorrow. Get some while you can because who knows how long the next flat spell will last!
Yesterday Kauai and the surf community bid their final farewell to one of surfing's greatest, Andy Irons. Friends, family, and fans all paddled out to celebrate the life and legacy of AI. I really enjoyed this article and the accompanying photos I found HERE on SURFER. Andy's brother Bruce lead the paddle out and scattered AI's ashes over the waters where they learned to surf. Check out the video below, wish I could have been there.
Most of the ASP top 44 payed their tributes to AI yesterday at the paddle out and today the boys are hitting the water as the first stop of the Triple Crown kicks off. Round one of the Reef Hawaiian Pro is about to hit the water RIGHT NOW!!! Check it HERE. The surf is PUMPING and looking good. Lots happening today in Hawaii even the first round of the ICONS heat. Lurk long and hard because there is lots going on!
New Product in today from NIXON along with some bootie hangers and Hang-Airs.
These are two of the best winter surfing items we have here in the shop. NOTHING is worse than climbing into a moist ice cold wetsuit and both of these will help keep that from happening. The hang air is an extra wide hanger with a two speed fan built it. It circulates air through your suit and can have it bone dry in a few hours. The bootie hanger is a no brainer. Get two, one for your boots and one for your glove. Hang then somewhere dry and warm and you'll be stoked for sure! Check out the Hang-Air HERE and remember these make great gifts for the surfer that has everything!
Should be some surf tomorrow, plan on getting a few!
