Most everyone knows that one of the Founding Fathers, Ben Franklin, was a fan of Electric but did you also know good ol' Ben was also a leading expert back in the day in meteorology and ocean currents? It only make sense then that Ben probably also surfed based on these facts. I don't have proof, but it all adds up. And in celebration of Ben being one of us, it's only fitting we spend one of his crisp $100 bills on the following surf deals at Seshday this week! So let's see what a 'Benjamin' gets us...
As I mentioned above, Ben was a fan of the action sports brand Electric. Or was it electricity? Anyway, for just $19.99, he could carry all his scientific instruments, charts, etc. and predict the surf way before North County Surf could. The MK1 Backpack comes with:
- 2 Compartments
- Large Main Compartment
- Front Medium Pocket
- #10 Metal Zippers
- Web Detail
- 600D Polyester
- Dimensions: 18" X 11" X 7"
So now we've got about $80 left. What else can we spend Ben's money on? How about the Freestyle Shark X watch for $39.99. Yellow Arabic numerals trim the rotating bezel of this men's watch from Freestyle. A stainless steel case, polyurethane strap, black dial and quartz movement finish this stylish timepiece. Here's the specs:
- Case: Stainless steel
- Caseback: Stainless steel snap-down
- Bezel: Rotating with yellow Arabic numerals
- Dial: Black
- Hands: Brass, luminescent
- Markers: Luminescent indexes
- Strap: Polyurethane
- Clasp: Pin buckle
- Crystal: Mineral
- Crown: Push/pull
- Movement: Quartz
- SQUARE LOC traction design
- ultra thin pad base
- big kick with bevelled sides
- 3M adhesive backing
- VIVID COLOUR handcut patterns
Now we're down to around $23. And there's still a couple things we can get at Seshday today. Then I'm gonna get me some Reef Forte sandals for $12.99. You can't beat $12.99 for one of the legendary sandal brands on your feet. The Forte is equipped with:
- new super soft and grippy footbed
- soft reef polyester woven strap with ticking color detailing
- contoured footbed with anatomical arch support
- grippy molded reef rubber outsole
Amazingly, we still have about $10 left of our Benjamin and amazingly there still is stuff to buy at Seshday. If Ben was still alive today, he'd be a fan of Taylor Knox. And who isn't? A world tour veteran, proud to be American, solid man turns in the pocket- and he's a north county guy. So with my last few dollars, I'm buying the DVD Medication for $6.99. Josh Landan, producer of Yield, releases his new film, Medication, starring Taylor Knox. Let the healing begin... "Medication" is a reality based surf film starring Taylor Knox and Friends. Follow Taylor and the boys around the world as they surf places like Tahiti, Africa, Indonesia, Mexico, France, and Australia. Featuring: Taylor Knox, Kelly Slater, Mick Fanning, Taj Burrow, CJ Hobgood, Timmy Curran, and Mike Losness Running Time: 30min Filmed on: Super 16mm, 16mm and HD.
So there you have it. An Electric backpack, Freestyle watch, Creatures of Leisure tail pad, Reef sandals, and Taylor Knox Medication DVD all thanks to our surf bro Benjamin Franklin. Is America the greatest country on earth or what?
