Largest Selection of FCS fins in NH at Pioneers!!!



Well gang after a week of not blogging I'm not really sure where to begin today. There has been lots and lots going on. The surf has been SUPER fun and the Hampton mini has been rescued from a death sentence. There have been two ASP women's events and a a 6 star prime at Trestles. At the shop we've been getting delivery after deliver of insane summer gear, skate product, and surf stuff.

My last blog started off with snowboarding but I think we'll kick this one off with what we have going on at the Hampton Skateboard Park. Last weekend we hit it HARD and thanks to the work of many we were able to completely rebuild the decks and reset the coping. This Saturday we cut out all the bad sections of skate-lite and replaced it with nice new pieces. The mini honestly looks like a new ramp, so stoked we made the call to keep it ALIVE. The VAN was there documenting the whole thing, check it HERE.

Now here comes the big part, we've got to raise some serious $$$ to get the concrete section of the park going. May 24th is going to be a huge day for the park, we're going to be at The Flatbread Company in Amesbury. We'll be slinging pies, selling BRICKS, and hosting a 50/50 raffle! Lots more details to come but please mark your calendar, rally your friends, and keep checking back for more details!

HUGE FCS FIN order came in this week. Our fin selection is better than it has ever been before! Full selection of the UL line, the new H-3s and the long awaited Julian Wilson pro model fin.

Our longboard selection is KILLING IT. Restocked with Loaded and Orangatang, a dozen new boards from Arbor, and as always a solid selection of Sector Nine and Globe.


With the nice weather and warm temps it seems many of you are thinking tank tops, trunks, and flip flops. We're FULLY stocked with all of the above and including these hot ones just in from LOST.

So on the competition front Carissa Moore is pretty much owning it! Thus far there have been four events and she's taken two first place finishes and two second place finishes. She's in command of the leader board and is slowly pulling away from the pack. Check out the highlights HERE from the just finished Beachley Classic from down under.



Finals at the Nike 6.o Trestles contest are on now. Check it all out HERE.

The next big event of the year for both the men and women starts next week in Brazil. Things are looking pretty good, get your fantasy team updated and stay tuned for details. Dane is back on tour at this event, he surfed well at the Nike pro and we should expect some trademark Dane arials in the beach breaks of Rio. Check out webisode 1 here on the Billabong Pro website.

Surf outlook for the next week looks good. Gonna be dealing with some shifty winds but one thing is for sure, we'll have waves. Tons of new boards and rubber in the shop, get after it!
