Surf and Salsa donations and schwag list.

Posted on 12/03/2009 at 09:46 am | Viewed 656 times | 0 comments

So far we have as donationsfor the Surf and Salsa FUNDRAISER event this weekend. For info, read the previous blog.

Aquaholics is paying for the band and the door proceeds go to Surfrider
A surfboard from Global Surf Industries (We're going to clear all other boards from the store and let them have their pick from surfboards I have in stock from Global Surf industries)
A Sector 9 Skateboard (same as above)
A bunch of Ripcurl gloves (received)
A bunch of Dakine bags and schwag (being sent)
A bunch of O'neill tees, hats and stickers (received)
A pair of Xcel 7 mil booties (in stock)
Reef schwag (being sent)
A patagonia men's Down Sweater and a patagonia ladies Jacket (in stock)
This is the plan: (and I will need volunteers for this part) Saturday at 5, right after we close, Aquaholics will turn the store floor into a dance area, with all product except donations moved to the back room and downstairs. The donated product and brands (and banners if I have them) will be prominently displayed around the LIVE CUBAN BAND Primo Cubano.
This is the first weekend of Kennebunk's Christmas Prelude and Aquaholics in a very busy stretch of road for the festivities, so we will have a TON of exposure. We still want donations if you haven't responded to my requests, there's still time!
I have posters all over town on this one, I have it on my website, facebook page and those of you who know me well know I have been BLABBING it all over the world! The band is amazing, and they have a following, and they have publicized this event also. I'm hoping for a diverse crowd, and the response has been HUGE. Tell all your friends, send what you can for donations and schwag and...
SHARE THE STOKE!

Great weekend!

So, Friday was growing and disorganized. Saturday was fun at some surprise spots. Kennebunk was fun, but a little disorganized. Not as big as we were hoping for. Sunday was pretty much the same, and dwindling in size. Monday was diminishing further, but fun enough that I blew the shop off for a few hours in the afternoon. I barely was there! Tuesday was as perfect as it gets for MOM'S MORNING. About 4 feet on the set waves and peeling, offshore breeze. It doesn't get any better for learning. The Gals AND Guys did an amazing job! We sold almost every winter suit in the shop, and I'll see if I can get more sale suits, so call or email if you want one.

Surf Report from Kennebunk

Hi,

Kennebunk is a little bigger than yesterday- overhead. I't disorganized like yesterday though. Looks like the swell is dropping or we're seeing a lull. Get out there before it's gone. Another New England fake out? Arrrgggh. Hope not. Today is supposed to be North wind,8-11 ft. Tonight, dropping to  6-9 with West wind. We'll see!

Surf Report, a little messy and disorganized this morning, like yesterday only bigger. The wind is supposed to pick up. Find an East facing cove! Tomorrow... KENNEBUNK or Higgins. Expect crowds.

Seems like people are going out by the jetty.

Mark your calendar, Saturday December 5th! Aquaholics is celebrating Prelude with a distinctively tropical flair. Starting at 8, we'll be pushing the racks out of the way, and lining the boards against the back wall. Get ready to dance! We're trying to gauge interest to arrange to have Salsa lessons here on Saturday nights. If you're interested, please send an email.

Marc Angelillo just came in, he says 4-6 and bigger on the sets. It's pretty clean and lined up. If you can get out today, go! Tomorrow will probably be blown out. Sunday should be memorable. We've got people coming from EVERYWHERE!
