Sacred Craft Interviews This Weekend October 8th-9th!!

Sacred Craft is back at the Del Mar Fairgrounds and we’ll be there, October 8th and 9th! We’re going to be teaming up with the fellas over at Solspot.com to bring you (almost) LIVE VIDEO interviews and updates throughout both days of the show.
If you can make it then head on down. It’s well worth the drive for getting a face full of knowledge from some of the industry leaders and other wacky dudes like Carl Eckstrom, whom they’ll be honoring at this show.
If you've been to the shows in the past then you know we really whoop it up with lot's of giveaways and killer "show special" pricing on our one of kind board building supplies.

SolSpot New HD Camera and FREE Beer Launch Party!!!

The guys over at Surf.Solspot.com are launching their 13th FREE HD camera this week and doing it with style. They are throwing a camera launch party at The Longboard Restaurant this Thursday (21st) and are giving away FREE BEER to the first 100 people in attendance. It fits in nicely with their company motto – everything free!

The camera looks at the south side of HB pier and then pans all the way down towards Beach Blvd. Plenty of ripable faces in that area! You can check out the cam at http://surf.solspot.com/wahoos

Cheers to FREE HD CAMS & cheers to FREE BEER!

Beach Demo Was a Blast!

Wow the Beach Demo was a blast this past Saturday even though the surf was a meager 1ft!!! Luckily the skies were clear and the air was a brisk 4o degrees to start the morning. Tim Stamps brought down twenty surfboards all shapes and sizes for the kiddies to try out. There were longboards, contemporary shortboards, quad fish, and even some experimental stuff. Future Fins showed up with more fins than you'd see in a fish tank. They had their new killer stuff including the Elevon Quads which some people were lucky enough to try out. Adam from Solspot showed up to do his demo and give his forecasting tips but unfortunately we had some serious technical difficulties with our electrical equipment. Since we didn't have electricity David Scales from One Hour in HB got to surf instead of showing his surf movies. Unexpectedly, Chas's Pit Crew (SB and HB hot groms) showed up and got the opportunity to test ride the stuff and give it a real go. Even a few local pros were there to rip the knee high dribblers.

A special thanks goes out to Stamps Surfboards, Future Fins, Solspot, One Hour in HB, and all the people that came to show their support. Look for a detailed report in our upcoming newsletter with feedback from the test riders themselves!
