Sorry to disappoint if you think I’m talking about surf, I’m not. lol I am talking about ME not posting! The Holidays caught up with us, then the returns followed. Returns are always a bit higher during the beginning of the year due to the increase in sales over the Holidays. However, I think it’s over and we can get back into the flow, freeing me up to post more regularly! What’s new?!? Well, lots! We’re off and running with our Wetsuits, so if you need a new one keep us in mind as we enter the COLDEST months of the year. Also, I am headed to Rincon (PR) at the beginning of Feb! I’ve never been, so if anyone has any advice please post away! (Stoked) Our Finatic fin testing program is ROCKING! We’ve found a new way to brand the fins in the program, so for those of you who ARE Finatics keep a look out for that! Those of you who aren’t… YOU SHOULD BE! Other than that, stay tuned! It’s the time of year when all the NEW products come out and you KNOW I’ll have them HERE first! Thanks for everything! Happy new year!

Deck the Halls with Wetsuits and Fins…
Hey Guys! It’s been a while and I sincerely apologize!! We’ve been swamped, as we’re having a record setting holiday season! With that said I figured you as consumers (or surfers) might like to know what’s been trending, so that you have the scoop on the best of the BEST when it comes to surf gear. First FCS has two EXTREMELY popular new fins, the obvious one is the BRAND NEW Mick Fanning Fins. The one you may not know much about is the FCS Knubster. The Knubster has taken the surfing world by storm as we all watched Kelly Slater pull his HUGE 360 air at the Quiksilver Pro. New York on it. Other fins that are trending include the Kinetik Andy Irons Forever Fins and the Future Fins Solus. That’s the scoop with the hottest fins, lets move onto Wetsuits! With Wetsuits the Billabong SG5 403 has been HOT and with winter in full swing it’s easy to see why! If we’re talking about PREMIUM Wetsuits Matuse has it on lock down. Other than that, bang for your buck is HUGE with the West Nitro, so it’s been trending also. I hope to be posting regularly after this weekend! So merry Christmas and I’ll see you then!
It’s getting COLD! You could go West.
Hey guys, if you think I’m talking about surfing out West somewhere you need to think outside the box a bit. lol I am talking about West Wetsuits! West was one of the FIRST Wetsuit companies that gave us a chance, so we’ll give them a SHOUT OUT and talk about them first! West Wetsuits are SOLID. Most of their models are made from the BEST limestone based neoprene available. Limestone based neoprene is not ONLY the new thing, but it’s lighter, warmer, more comfortable, and stretches better! (I should know, I own and use a West Lotus 3/2) Not to mention it is greener. West has been using limestone longer than most of the guys out there and they got it DOWN. If I had to choose a stand out suit I would say the West Lotus (pick your thickness) Air-O would have to be the way to go! The Lotus Air-O combines the premium limestone based neoprene I talked about with a sandwiched “waffle” layer. This is basically a thin layer of neoprene within the suit that has air holes in it. These air holes warm with your body’s temperature and then transfer that heat back to you, making this West Wetsuit lighter and warmer! Talking about the Lotus Air-O makes me want to upgrade mine! lol Anyway, if you’re cold, going West should DEFINITELY be considered. (Get the pun now?!?)

I’ll follow up with a personal note on where we (The Surfboard Warehouse) has come from and what a HUGE milestone it is to have these new partnerships. THANK YOU!
Signed our Sales Contract with Billabong!
Yes, I often find myself working after 5:00 on a Friday. (Sadly) Success does not care what what day or time your watch reads. With that said, I would like to announce that we got news from Billabong earlier today and www.TheSurfboardWarehouse.com will SOON be bringing Billabong Wetsuits to our Wetsuit section! Billabong Wetsuits will be joining our currently offered West Wetsuits and Body Glove Wetsuits product lines. (I know Body Glove seems far from a CORE surf brand, HOWEVER TRUST ME when I say that their premium surf wetsuits give any company our there a run for their money, take a look at the Prime if you don’t believe me.) Keep your eyes on our Wetsuit Section as it’s we’re soon to be the place to buy the ALL best wetsuits available. Thanks to ALL our customers for making this happen!!
