Considering it's dumping snow all over California this weekend, and technically it's still winter, I thought it would be a good time to drag some snowboarding deals on to the North County Surf blog. What- you really were going to surf in that polluted mess this weekend?! Of course not- hit the local mountains and shred some fresh pow! The crew at
Seshday have loaded up on snow goods this week- from boards to beanies to backpacks and everything in between and I've posted some of the best on the site today. Like the Travis Rice Lib Tech model shown above. King of the Hill winning valley leaping, Alaska ripping, Jackson Hole freeride & jib sticks. 100% shredtassium for sliding in and out of tricky situations with ease in all types of riding conditions: hardpack, park, pipe, pow, rails, and even ice. For psychoLOGICAL shredding advantages, Travis continues to have two shapes: a pow-specific pointy 161.5 & 164.5 and a park/jib-specific blunt 153 & 157. And of course, factory de-tuned to Travis’ specs! For just $439.95 (over $200 off) it's got:
- C2 Power Banana/Camber Combo Tech and Magne-Traction (C2BTX)
- H-Pop Core
- Axis inversion fiberglass
- Twin pointy pow shape and twin blunt jib shape
- Bio beans top sheet
- Flex: 5-7 (depending on Size)
- Art by Carl Smith and Mike Parillo
And what good is a new board if you don't have the proper outerwear? I actually saw some guy at Snow Summit back in the late 80's wearing his O'Neill fullsuit on the slopes. Solid. Of course he looked like a dork (no it wasn't me- very funny) and it wasn't functional. But he didn't have gear like the 686 Reserved Duke insluated jacket shown above- because if he did back then- he would have saved his fullsuit for the surf- and his dignity. Anyway, the Duke normally goes for $250 but it's just $109.95 today. The jacket, just like your favorite flannel, is plaid, bad, and the first thing you will put on when the weather gets a tad cold. Fast-Pass pocket on front of jacket conveniently retracts your pass without any fumbling. Breathe Easy design lets you mouth breathers vent your vapors through the front collar without getting fogged. Kelly Yarn Dye Plaid is the signature colorway of Patrick McCarthy and ideally keeps you warm in temperatures ranging from 0º to 32º F.
Speaking of O'Neill, Jack invented the wetsuit, boardbag, and leash- a regular Thomas Edison- if Thomas could rip that is. So what has the O'Neill brand come up with lately? How about the O'Neill Exalt pant. At home in all conditions, the Exalt offers a relaxed fit pant with 8K/8K water column and breathability at a great value, you can't go wrong here at almost 1/2 off at $76. Features include:
