Prelude

Thank you, all you early bird shoppers. What an amazing turnout! Well, never underestimate the power of a bargain. We did almost all of our sales for “Black Friday” before 8:00 A.M.  Starting with Nick Bath at about 6:02 tight on to 8:00. It was still dark out for crying out loud!

Well, Prelude is upon us. Billy’s annual Prelude party signals the beginning of the end of any feelings of control over our weight. The revelers will take over Dock Square like The Munchkins at the castle of Oz, only taller and much more strangely dressed. Check out the photos of past seasons Preludes at www.christmasprelude.com

Mom's Morning moved to Wednesdays

Posted on 06/28/2008 at 05:15 pm | Viewed 1,147 times | 0 comments

Due to schedule conflicts (being a long time Saco resident, Nanci has opted to teach the Saco / Old Orchard Beach Surf Camps herself), Mom’s Morning will we held on Wednesdays from 11 to 12:30. If you need a wetsuit, show up at the shop between 10:30 (not earlier, please) and 10:45 (not later either!) for your wetsuit fitting (time is tight, and you really need to get the first part of the beach lesson). This is a free program and due to immense popularity one session a summer is all you get, unless you have your own gear. This is a great opportunity to try surfing, get help with your skills and familiarity with your own board, or to just surf with the “girls” (guys can come if they can cope with all that estrogen).

Mark your calendar for SUP

Our rep will be in Kennebunk for demos showing the board models and paddling techniques. You'll be surprised how easy they are to ride and how HARD of a workout they are. It's like the "workout concentrate". I've been going out a few times a week, and I've been sore from my toes to my hair follicles since I started! I guess I'll eventually get in shape (I thought I WAS kind of in shape.) This is the latest training tool for many professional athletes.

Memorial Day update

Hi everyone.

Well, the surf has been great and summer is blowing us kisses nearly every day.  The weather has been great, and the beach has been beautiful. We’ve been playing Doubles Volleyball at Old Orchard for about a month, a few times in our swimsuits! We had surf every day last week, and everyone in the water got their fill. It was consistent and fun.
