Firewire Surfboards - Blem Brains or Blem Boards

Dear Shea,

We’ve honestly been completely overwhelmed by your response to our current Blem promotion.If we tried to respond to the hundreds of emails one by one, it would take a long time to get through the list. (we aren't that smart, and we are lazy)

For those of you interested (even if you’ve already contacted us) please be as specific and direct as possible. Please to go to our website and pick out up to three possible boards you may be interested in.

As I’m sure you can appreciate, if we have this information in advance of contacting you, it will greatly ease our ability to possibly fulfill your needs. In this way, we can prioritize our response based on our blem stock, which will change constantly as we fill orders.

Thanks again.

CONTEST POSTPONED!

RED ALERT!
The 4th Annual Donkey Patrol Competetion has been postponed!
After reviewing all of the bogus sites: Surfline, Magic Seaweed, Wavewatch, Wetsand, etc., WE have decided to push the competition until Decembr 20th!
The aforementioned sites are clueless in their predictions, but are consistently calling for crappy waves. Also, the high on Saturday will be a chilly 52 degrees with winds from 10-20mph. Sunday, the high will only be 47! That, along with unfavorable tides and the lack of any crowds on the beach, we are forced to postpone.
If for some odd reason there is no swell next Saturday the 20th, then we will be forced to hold over the event until sometime in January with the caveat being that we will have two competitions in 2009.
Please voice any and all concerns on the date, but we probably wont listen anyway!
Update coming in the next few days. Please update me with entries so I can put the heats together.

Buy Shegas' Old Boards - Firewire Blem Sale

Dear Shea,

As with any production process, some boards are built with minor flaws. We have a few cosmetic blems in stock, surfboards with minor inconsistencies but nothing structural that would affect performance. The flaws could be anything from tiny specs of dirt in the cloth here or there, finger prints under the glass (yes, we're very particular), or logos slightly off center.

As a courtesy for your loyal support and in light of the economic conditions, we are offering these blemished boards for direct sale to our friends and family. (Offer limited to continental US only)

We are giving them up for $375 without fins + Frt and Tax (if applicable).If you are interested, please contact us at info.usa@firewiresurfboards.com.Our supply and selection of boards is limited, so act fast to take advantage of this one time deal. (even though we send these emails all the time)

We’ve come a long way so far, and we owe a lot of that to you, so whether you take us up on this one or not - THANKS.

Victory at Sea for the Contest!!??


Well fellas, things are not looking so bright for the contest to go off this weekend. I know, I know; you were all looking forward to the Smythe becoming the first repeat champion and hoping to view the backside hacks that will result in blinding Gaykley during our heat. However, the forecasts are calling it waist high and poor conditions. I am going to make the call tomorrow night so please check this site for an update.
I will need some feedback on rescheduling. How does December 20th look for everyone? If that weekend does not work, then we will have to move it back until after the New Year as I will be in Hawaii surfing in trunks while you guys freeze your carcasses off
Stay Tuned!

Contest Roster List!

Ok, this is who I have so far who claim they are competing!

Smythe
Sheagas
Kozy
Eduardo
Rori
Umberto
Gaykley
Jesse
Tardy Marty
John back from kicking ass in Afghan
Viperelli
Tibbers
BLO
The Dude (he will abide)

If I am missing somebody, let me know. There will be a $5.00 entry fee this year. No exceptions. Bring cash or you wont get the plaque and the super cool gold leaf lettering. Things have been active in the Pacific, so I am hopeful that we will have good conditions. Remember, the Viper will drop in on you during your heat, so you may not even have to catch a wave against him.
Plan on the contest being on the 13th unless its flat. More info to follow.
