Deal Alert! A Present For Yourself!


After battling at the mall the past few weeks with snooty salespeople, no parking, and losing your hard earned money on a gift your spouse will probably exchange, isn't it about time you did something for yourself? That's why the North County Surf Blog is here- finding ways to save you some money AND look good in the process. I'm such a good guy. Seshday this week has got a smorgasbord going on- from flannels to dvd's to sunnies and everything in between. Enough of the small talk, let's get started: How cold has it been lately? Oceanside Airport was reporting 30 degrees this morning. Ouch. You're going to need to layer up. A t-shirt and sandals ain't going to cut it this time of year. Take a gander above at the Ambiguous 'Big Mac' woven. Fit for a trucker but actually fits you better. At only $29.99, there's room for a few Big Mac's at McDonalds too.


Looks like there's some new SW and NW coming for the Xmas weekend, so get amped for your next session. TransWorld Surf has put out a good flick called 'Tomorrow Today' and features some of the best young surfers on the planet with Dane Reynolds, Yadin Nichol, Clay Marzo, as well as a couple Cali goofyfoots named Mike Losness and the outspoken Bobby Martinez. And the price must be a typo as they have the DVD listed at $0.99. Order it now before Seshday figures out what they did wrong.
Given any money to charity this holiday season? Don't feel bad- I'm a little behind too. But I have the perfect solution! Heard about the Freshwaters crew? They've got a good thing going on- you buy a pair of their shoes or sandals and it allows them to provide freshwater (get it?) to one individual for one year. Amazing concept. So not only do you get a good looking pair of shoes that keep your feet warm AND are ridiculously cheap at $39.99, you also help out your fellow man. And isn't that what the holidays are all about?

Ok, sermon is over, time to think about yourself again. O'Neill for 60 years has been the king of wetsuits, some good looking boardshorts, and all kinds of other amazing inventions (you know Jack invented the leash, didn't you)? Well the next great product from the iconic Santa Cruz brand is sunglasses. The O'Neill 'Alton' is 53% off this week and is priced right at $39.99. Here's what you get:
• Custom made from high quality Propionate
• 6 based PC lenses
• Die cast metal logo
• 5 barrel hinge
• 100% UV Protection
I have no idea what the above stuff means but all I know is that I'll feel better I spent $39.99 when I scratch the heck out of them, lose them, or sit on them and break them.
 
And finally, what are you going to carry all your new presents in? An Ogio Shaman pack of course. Seshday has got them priced unbelievably low. $25.99 actually. And it's not a crap bag either, it's Ogio for goshsakes. Here's what's inside:

Make sure to check out Seshday asap as there's a ton more stuff I didn't have time to list. And their sales only last a few days so when it's gone, tough luck! And on that note, happy holidays.
