7 November 2009 - Surfing Pictures

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 16:56:27 GMT

I went out surfing yesterday, but took a few pictures before going out. They are posted at http://www.surfcountry.net/091107campus_62.html. A few of the pics are below.

Local surfing chiropractor, Kevin English, sent me a great video of Mike Furner surfing at Poles in October. The video is posted on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugaQOxPfqw8.

Anyway, it has been fun surfing but the water temps are dropping. Ya might want to get a wetsuit if you are used to warmer waters!

P.S. The shaping room is almost done. The first coat of primer went on last week. After it gets painted, the lighting will need to be installed and it will be good to go. I haven't gotten details from Doug on how the shaping room reservations will be handled. I'll let you know when I find out more..

It was a warm sunny day when I went out and then the marine layer rolled in and the tide went out. The waves were pretty good...from what I could tell. The rest of the pictures are here..

New Store Location, New Website Design

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 18:53:42 GMT

The new store looks great. There is lots of room and new inventory...go in before the best stuff gets bought. When I checked last week, the new shaping room wasn't quite finished, but as soon as it is, I will take pics and get the details on how Doug intends to use it. Will people be able to use it to shape their own boards? I am not sure at this point!

Surf Country has a Facebook page now.

I am moving stuff over into the new website format. Check it out at http://www.surfcountry.net/. If you have positive comments (hey, remember I'm doing this for free!), then please let me know. Some pages don't display correctly, but that is a problem with Sitemaker...can't do much about that...do let me know if any links are broken.

Doug told me he wanted to have pages on his website featuring different surfers and skaters. So if you are a surfer and/or skater and want some free publicity, please fill out http://www.surfcountry.net/feature_36.html and email me your photos at nat@surfcountry.net.

For the new website, I am featuring Jered:

I'd like to feature a different surfer each month. I am just geeky that way.

Anyway, I hope the surf pics up soon! If you are getting good waves anywahere, let me know!

Need Surf and Skate Pics for Redoing Website

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 13:53:27 GMT

Doug is going to be gone for awhile. My goal is to redo the website by the time he returns. I think I am going to stick with this design but I'd like to get more graphics to use on the site.

NOTE: The pic above is of Jerod.

If you want to contribute pics of yourself surfing, skating, etc. just send it to me at nat@surfcountry.net. I'll make sure I give you credit for the pics.

Labor Day sale is coming up. Butch will be working at the shop. Go by and make him earn his keep! : )

Labor Day Sale, Surf Country is Moving

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 07:25:03 GMT

Surf Country will be moving in a couple weeks to 109B South Fairview Avenue, Goleta, CA 93117 (across the Street from McDonald's). The new place has much more room; there is going to be a shaping room in the back. It is also more conveniently located for people heading to Campus Pt. to surf. The move should happen 9-11-09. Send Nat@surfcountry.net your email and I'll make sure we notify you about the details of the new location.

The dog LOVES the new place! Just wait until all the stuff get moved into it!

Here's a map in case you aren't sure where the new place is after 11 September 2009.
