Deal Alert! Buy Something For Yourself This Xmas!

 
You're probably fried by now on all that Christmas shopping you've been doing for OTHERS. Isn't it about time you looked out for numero uno? Yourself? Especially when the crew at Seshday want to outfit your entire surf session. Like today's Deal Alert! Cheap, inexpensive, next to nuthin' brand new Channel Islands surboards. Everything from 5"11" Biscuit's to 7'0" Fliers. I'm kind of impartial though to the 6'1" Flier shown above. It's the most popular shortboard in the Channel Islands line. This board excels in small to medium surf but still rides and responds like a conventional shortboard. Al considers this the best small wave shortboard he has ever designed. It should be ridden 2" to 3" shorter and 1/4" to 1/2" wider than your normal shortboard. For the surfer who wants to maintain the same speed and maneuverability you have on your shortboard in good waves but when the surf is small.

Features:Board Nose Width 11.5"
Board Width 18.75"
Board Tail Width 14.5"
Board Thick 2.25"
Board Volume 27 ccm
Board Fin System: FCS fins included
Board Shaper Al Merrick
 
And the best thing is, it's about $200 cheaper than retail at $459. AND it comes with free shipping. So just sit back, wait for the delivery guy to show up at your doorstep, then go rip like Slater.
Of course you need to carry your new shred sled in a bomb proof briefcase so check out the Pro-Lite Session bag. At just $43, it's got more than you need. Like:  

  • 5mm padding.
  • Molded non-corrosive zippers.
  • 50/50 outer shell, one side tough 600 Denier RECYCLED Poly and the other side TRUE reflective/heat resistant material.
  • Custom Pro-Lite print panels.
  • Strap pocket to stow strap and accessories during travel.
  • Padded shoulder strap with Velcro closure system.
  • Padded handle for extra comfort.
  • External wax/key pocket.
  • Fixed size hang tag.
  • Inner storage pocket.
  • Reinforced nose.
  • Rail guard around the zipper to protect your board.
  • Ventilation point to allow air flow to keep your board cool.
  • Fish/Hybrid 26.5" width
  • What good is a killer board and solid boardbag if you're back foot keeps slipping off during your sessions?! Then pony up $17 and ride the Koa Smith Creatures of Leisure tailpad. Features include:
    • 11.8" x 11.4" [300mm x 290mm]
    • SQUARE LOC traction design
    • Ultra thin pad base
    • Big kick with bevelled sides

    And last but not least, Seshday has been so kind to find deals on fullsuits 'cause you'll freeze your arse off if you don't have a good 3/2 right now. And not just any fullsuit will do (if you're going ride a Merrick, throw a Pro-Lite over your shoulder, and trust your feet to Creatures of Leisure), you might as well get one of the best suits on the market- the Xcel 3/2 Infinity X-zip. Normally suits like this run between $300-$400 bucks. But Seshday of course is rocking them at $199. With unattached zipper flaps and extra-wide crossover neck entry, the X-Zip is the easiest on/off front entry fullsuit in the XCEL line.
    Features:
    • X-Zip System features a water-resistant interlock zipper and Smooth Skin elastic shoulder hems along zipper flap edges for a contoured flexible seal.
    • Overlapping inner front and back crossover neck panels for a durable, easy on/off solution
    • Inner geometric Taitex ankle seals grip and seal.
    • ThermoCarbon inner chest and lower body
    • Wind-resistant Texture Skin outer chest
    • Durable, contoured, 4-Way stretch DuraFlex knee panels
    • 100% UltraStretch
    • Upper body Fusion Seam Technology
    • Durable Pressure Bonded taped seams in the lower body
    • All seams are contoured to maximize flexibility and comfort.

    Where else can you get a brand new Channel Islands surfboard, Pro-Lite carry bag, Creatures of Leisure tail pad, and Xcel fullsuit for about $700 and tax? That's right- no where. Heck, it's like buying a Channel Islands surfboard at full price and getting a traction pad, board bag, and fullsuit thrown in for free! Merry Christmas!
