We've finally got some swell coming this weekend so I thought it was the perfect time to break out some deals and get you into some new surf gear. The crew at Seshday have loaded up on new boards, wetsuits, traction pads, and bags. And as always, it's cheap. Like the 6'1" Flyer above. Normally over $750 at retail, this top of the line board is just $459. While supplies last of course. The Flyer is 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 Construction: Tuflite
- Board Fin System: FCS fins included
Of course you're going to need some traction on that bad boy if you're serious about landing some reverse airs. Ok, so no amount of traction is going to help YOU land a reverse air, but you still need traction nonetheless. Seshday has heaps of Creatures of Leisure pads on sale at a low price of $16.95- well over 50% off retail. The pad above is from Maui local and World Tour eye opener Dusty Payne.
Features:
- HI-LO TRACTION DESIGN
- Ultra thin pad base
- Big kick with bevelled sides
- 3M adhesive backing
- VIVID COLOUR handcut patterns
But what good is having a solid board and new traction if you're freezing your arse off?! It's time to put that old 3/2 with holes out of it's misery. Seshday has top of the line Xcel 4/3 fullsuits on sale for $199. Yes- I said new 4/3's at $199. Solid. With unattached zipper flaps and extra-wide crossover neck entry, the Xcel 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.
Now that you've got that new stick under your arms, how are you going to protect it? As rumor has it, the late great Mark Foo said "Board rides shotgun and chicks that don't like don't ride". If your chick doesn't agree, 2nd best thing to protect your Merrick on the way to the beach is the Creatures of Leisure Day Use Boardbag. Normally $84, Seshday's got 'em for $37.95.
Features:
- 5mm closed cell padding
- 600 denier and heat reflective silver poly fabric
- STASH STRAP
- padded carry handle
- 7'1' length
So there you have it. Solid swell coming this weekend and a new Channel Islands, 4/3 Xcel, and Creatures of Leisure boardbag and traction- all on sale. You can thank me later by giving me a couple set waves on Sunday.
