Clocks Go.. Troubled World.. ION & RRD now in..the Weekend.









 Good grief.. has it really been five months since I moaned about the Clocks Going Back ( general moaning is an everyday occurrence .. this was a specialist moan :) . Seems longer than that! British Summer Time returns this weekend and we can once again have a little light in the evenings to play with. We spring forward into Summer so do remember that the clocks go Forward .. and I don't give a poop about losing an hour in bed!


The clocks going forward is for most of us a great event but it's hard to be jumping with joy after what happened in London last Wednesday. A very sad thing done by one person that will in some way or another affect all of us but for now has brought a lot of pain to those directly involved. Will it ever end?

So what's new.. RRD have announced that the New Fireride V1 Boards are now available - Click Here for the Info. The Wood and Ltd boards have the facility to use a Foil so this could be something that will be a consideration for the future, although we still have reservations about how well the Foil boards will work here (we're trying to get hold of a Demo Board!). Pricing is E Tech £1296.00 - Wood £1713.00 - Ltd. £1957.00

Foils to follow shortly but if JP's version is anything to go by they will sell out quickly (JP Europe had 200 units ordered and all have pre-sold.. next batch due July) . Pricing is expected to be around the £900 mark. If you would like more info on foil boards just ask but I will post as much info as I can.
I mentioned a week or so ago that the 2016 Starboard Quads were on offer and if anyone was interested in an 84lt.. we now have one on the shelf.

Our ION Summer kit has started arriving and the new Strike Short Sleeved 3/2mm £179.95 and Ladies Muse Long Sleeved Shorty Zipperless £99.95 are amongst the wetsuits ( takes a brave Girl to wear a shorty in March.. :) . Our Winter ION Strikes now have 20% off of the RRP should anybody be thinking of a new wetsuit (we also have discounts on Mystic, Pro-Limit, NP and Xcel suits if the cut of the ION does not suit you). We will try and get the New kit on the website ASAP.. really!

For those that need a new helmet or are thinking about owning one.. RRD have just launched a hard shell 'hat' very similar in look to the tried and tested Gath. They are available in fours sizes and the colour options are White or Orange. Price is £56.00 and we should have stock this coming week .

I think that is probably just enough before I bore the pants off of you (where did that saying come from!.. anyone know?) so please drop by if you want to see what else is new.

And finally, the weekend is with us once more and what does it have in store for Shoreham By Sea? The winds are allegedly staying from the Nor'East and currently are predicted to be around the 20kts mark, gusting to 30kts. That means a trip west to Pagham, east to the Eastbourne/ Pevensey area or a little further east to Greatstone.. or its head North to the North Kent Coast if you fancy using the 'cool' wind. SUP should be good on the Rivers (if you can avoid a headwind) and there could be a small but clean wave to be had as well . Kayakers?.. you will have fun whatever the conditions! :) The Tides are.. Saturday 9.02hrs on a 5.5m. Sunday 10.53hrs on a 5.9m and sunset will be.. 19.35hrs. HOORAY!!

Have a great Weekend and please remember that IT'S PUT THE CLOCKS FORWARD on Saturday night and more importantly.. it's MOTHER'S DAY on SUNDAY!!
