Seshday is at it again this week with some of the biggest names in surfboards on sale this week. Shapers such as Al Merrick, Rusty Preisendorfer, Mark Richards, and Phil Byrne. And they're built to last with Surtech technology. And did I mention they're on sale?! First up is the 6'1" Flyer from Channel Islands. The Flyer has been one of the most popular shortboards in the Channel Islands line for year. 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

Normally this board retails for over $750 but Seshday is giving them away, err, selling them for under $460. Almost $300 off. Nuts. And there's free shipping. Double nuts.
Or maybe you're old school and want a board from the 4 time world champ. Remember when guys on tour used to shape their own boards? Awesome. On sale is an exact replica of Mark Richard's favorite twin designed in 1980. This is the board that brought MR a host of high profile victories. Featuring a deep V bottom and a fluted wing for holding power. Lots of surface area in the forward section of the board for fast paddling and performance in small waves.
Features:Fins Included LENGTH 6'2"

Another steal at $479 considering this board retails at almost $800.
Remember Tom Carroll's infamous 'Snap' at Pipeline? If you don't, then you're under 30 and should be ashamed of yourself. Long story short, Byrne's have been one of Australia's most popular boards for over 30 years and
Seshday has them on sale this week for $395. Yes, a brand new world class board for under $400. The HPPB2 from Bryne is basically the same board that was ridden by Phil Macdonald on the WCT. It is definitely for above average surfers. The board is very fast and loose, has a mild concave bottom and squash tail. The 6'1" is best suited to surfers from 130lbs to 170lbs, and designed for surf from 2’ to 6’.

And last but not least is San Diego's gift to the surfing world, Rusty Preisendorfer (ok, Skip Frye is too but Seshday doesn't have Skips on sale this week. You're going to have to pony up at least a grand for one of those babies). The Rusty Piranha has a similar bottom and rocker to a performance short board but has a fuller nose with the wide point moved forward. Now with 5 fins this is the ultimate shortboard.Overall wider template, low entry rocker and single-to-double concave design make this fishy a greedy little wave magnet. The three-wing, pulled-in swallow tail still allows you to surf vertically. Ride 2-4" shorter than your standard shortboard.
Features: Board Nose Width 14.44"

Board Tail Width 15.25"
