Deal Alert! Black Friday Surf Deals!

Why should Wal Mart, Target, Macy's, and Best Buy have all the fun with crazy Black Friday deals and us surfers are left out in the cold?! I say we take matters into our own hands! We need deals too! Leave it to North County Surf to scour the web to find the stuff you need- like warm wetsuits, a mini-gun for those big NW swells, and a cool watch to impress the ladies. So leave the masses to battle it out at the malls, check out these "Black ('s Beach) Friday" deals from the comfort of your bed instead:

With NW swells taking aim at us the last few weeks and more on the horizon, it's time to put the 5'8" Dumpster Diver away and put a real man's board under your arm. From one of the most respected big wave shapers in the world comes the Dick Brewer Surftech mini-gun. You don't want to be undergunned surfing big Black's this winter, so pick up one of these 6'8" beauties for the ridiculously low price of $281 at Department of Goods. Yes, I said $281. I don't even think you can get a used board for that price. And it's a Surftech so it's going to hold up year after year better than a regular board.

And what good is charging big waves this winter up and down the California coast if you're freezing your tail off? So pick up one of O'Neill's top of the line suits from Jack's Surfboards. And it's a doozy- a 3 mil Superfreak fullsuit. When a 3/2 is too cold in the dead of winter and a 4/3 feels like a straight jacket- a 3 mil is the perfect choice. Full of super stretchy neoprene, you'll probably want to wear it in summer too. And with a price of just $263 (normal is $439), it's too good to pass up. Just think, you can grab a brand new Brewer mini-gun AND a super flexible O'Neill fullsuit and charge some big Maverick's this winter for under $550. Unreal. With all the money you save, there will be extra leftover for your physical therapy sessions after the beatings you'll take in the impact zone.

After you're done charging some solid surf all day, it's time to take the lady to dinner and look good in the process. Make sure to wear some bling like this Nixon watch at Department of Goods for just $90. It will look like a million bucks to her AND you can wear it to work 'cause you get paid the big bucks.

If charging big surf, staying warm in the waves, and impressing the ladies is NOT your thing, then these Skullcandy headphones may be up your ally. Hear music the way it was meant to be heard- loud and full of bass. Seshday is offering these at an unbelievably low $24.99 (I know, sounds too good to be true- but it is Black ('s Beach) Friday you know) and they've only got a few in stock- so order them now. They'll be the perfect companion to the deal below...

And what would Black ('s Beach) Friday be without some kind of TV or computer deal?! Even though this isn't technically 'surf' related, most all of us want one (if you don't have one already) to check the surf, watch surf vids, heck- even check out the North County Surf blog. So the two best deals I found today were Best Buy at $455 on the 16GB model (that's $45 off) and Apple is rumored to be going 10% off ($450) for the same 16GB model- but we won't officially know until 12AM on Friday (which, by the time you read this, you'll know for sure the exact price). Anyway, it's still expensive as heck but worth it if you're a tech/surf nerd like myself. So Happy Thanksgiving everyone and good luck deal hunting!
