Welcome to Daylight Savings Time!

The beginning of Daylight Savings time marks the official beginning of evening surfing here in NJ. Although the water temps are hovering in low 40's, the weather has been mild the last few days and a real fun southeast wind swell continues to roll in.

Lots of surfers that take the Winter off are beginning to return to the water. 4mm and 5mm suits are still the rule, but for those unfortunate enough to only own a 3/2, will have to tough it out for the next few weeks until the water temps begin to rise......

Lots of new stuff has begun to arrive at the shop. New surfboards are now arriving weekly. The Clark Foam fiasco has seemed to cool down some, although many types of blanks are still hard to find. Surfboard prices seemed to have stabilized with about $30-50 price increases being the norm. As availability continues to improve, prices may head down a little bit lower.
