Swell Events #3

Hi, everyone,

I'd love to take this opportunity to make those of you who have been Jonesing for surf as bad as I have JEALOUS!

Marc and I are off to PERU next Thursday, November 8th. We'll be back on the 19th, so hopefully you all will get waves, too. We'll be wearing 3/2s, so it won't be a wetsuit-free trip, but as Bill Cannell (cannellclassicboats.com) has been telling us, the waves have been BIG, BIG, BIG!

Bill Cannell is a friend we met through the surf shop who has been traveling to Peru for over 30 years, and he has invited us along. We decided this is a chance not to be missed. (Never miss an opportunity to go somewhere exotic with someone who has a great vibe and has experience and knowledge.)

I'll tell you more about our trip in a sec. First, you've got to check out these awesome prices on wetsuits!

Closeout Wetsuit Sale

Aquaholics Surf Shop recently bought a large order of past-season, closeout wetsuits from Xcel and we are passing the savings on to you. Hurry, sizes are running low and when these are gone, they're gone for the season. These are 2006 and 2007 first quality, high end wetsuits at a fraction of the cost.

All these high quality suits are Infiniti Series with features such as:

  • X-ZIP system (Chest Zip)
  • UltraStretch
  • QuikDry Superlite Neoprene
  • THERMOSPAN
  • FUSION SEAL
  • Double-glued seams
  • Pressure bonded
  • Taped in the lower body and legs

At these prices, it's worth having an extra as a DRY back up! We all HATE putting on a cold WET suit, especially in winter! (Sale on past-season wetsuits only)

  • Men's
  • 3/2 or 4/3 fullsuits priced to sell at $175
  • 5/4/3 hooded winter suits at $200
  • 6/5/4 hooded winter suits at $225
  • Women's
  • 3/2 or 4/3 fullsuits priced to sell at $175
  • 6/5/4 (they're marked 5/4/3, but the rep assures me they're all 6/5/4s) for $200
  • Check out all our surf gear

The Sale Rack is OUT OF CONTROL

Summer and Camp suits are on sale... $99* and $75. Get 'em while it's cold! *Trade-Up Deal applies to Kid's suits bought at the $99.00 price.

Get this stuff out of here!

  • Sunglasses are all 30% off, SMITH, Native, Suncloud, Chilis and Peppers.
  • Skimboards are 10% off.
  • Going on Vacation? All 2007 Summer stuff is 40% off.
  • More Surf Gear in Stock

Don't forget Sunscreen, we have SafeSea Jellyfish and Sea Lice repellant. It works great in tropical water, strongly recommended in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama. Sea Lice are like Black Flies of the ocean. They SUCK!

Heading to the Tropics to Surf?

Another recommendation if you're going on vacation in the tropics, start taking Claritin or similar a day or two before you get there and continue till you leave. It'll keep you from feeling the effects of the “no-see-ums”, Jellyfish stings, and Sea Lice bites.

Questions? Call us at 207.967.8650. We're not sure to have the answers, but we probably know where to find out. Call and let us help.

More About our Trip to Peru

We'll be starting in San Bartolo for a few nights at Bill's friend Antonio's Hotel- Penascal Surf Hotel.

This is his friend Carlos at "the new spot"

And here’s another spot close to Surf Penascal...Pico Alto

And Bills favorite... Cerro Azul

Then we'll either fly to Trujillo or take a bus (it's a 12 hour trip, but the busses have luxury beds aboard and you leave at 8:00 P.M. and arrive at 8:00 A.M., so I suppose it's not too hard to take). If we fly, it's an hour ride, then on to Chicama.

Chicama again...

Marc is really looking forward to surfing UNCROWDED waves, as am I. I love an adventure. We'll keep in touch while we're gone. Bill has a computer there, so if I can hop on, I'll try and update the newsletter as time permits.

Hasta pronto
Nanci
