Overcast this morning, but looks like the swell picked up a bit from yesterday…… SW3-4ft @ 9 sec’s today, with light SW winds……. overcast should burn off later in the am….. Rest of the week looking small…. Monday SW4 @ 8sec. with light S/SW winds, high tide at 9a. Tuesday W3ft with light SW winds, high tide at 10a, Wed. W2ft with light S/SW winds high tide at 11a, Thursday W3ft with light S/SW winds and high tide at noon……. In the shop all day, so I think I will wait for the “epic monday” to get wet…… might even have to go over and surf with the famous (or infamous) SB at his esoteric spot…….
Yesterday, we had some good , fun brainstorming on some new stuff we are going to be doing…No doubt, this will give Brook and Cory some nightmares…… we are actually thinking of stuff…… the new cabinet is being delivered on Tuesday afternoon, so the new venture can open on Wed….. if we get some inventory…….(a few items have arrived)….. AS with the inventory at the surf shop, we are only going to be bringing in the best we can find….. just like our handmade in the US surfboards, and we continue to strive to find products made in the USA or “The America’s”…… Quality will continue to be our focus…..hell, we even found some beach toys for the Beach Store that are made in America!! Actually had a guy in the shop yesterday trying to sell me on some high end sandals….. made in china…. his response was that the only place in the world to find the quality of craftsmanship that they needed was in china….???? WTF????? I don’t think we will be adding those to our lineup…… yep, a pretty mild rant this morning….. but the best story of the weekend was the guy who rented one of our suits…. (not a Boz) and the zipper got stuck, and he couldn’t get out of his suit…… so, he comes by the shop…. I am at home on my 2nd glass of wine…. Pedro calls tells me the story…. I go over to the shop….. check it out…and yes, he is stuck….. so I ask him to turn around, where at that point, I pull out the good old Kershaw, and slice open the back of the suit….. that guy didn’t move a muscle……. but the look on his face was worth another bottle of wine….. so I took another home and drank it……
