2009 Anything But Three East

2009 Anything But 3 East
Saturday September 26th (rain/no wave date Sept 27th)
Harvey Cedars, NJ (LBI)
Location - Hudson St.

The event all you right coasters have been waiting for. The second annual AB3E. Last years event was a huge success with local pro and backyard shapers and several visiting shapers from San Diego County CA.

This year we are holding the event in the fall, which is a great time of year to visit NJ. The water is warm, (typically board shorts or spring suit), the leaves are starting to turn colors, the summer crowds and lifeguards are gone, and the tropical swells are pumping.

This is a great event for surfers and surfboard shapers alike. A great day to demo many different designs and learn more about the craft of hand shaping surfboards. Bring out your favorite boards, show them off, and let others take them for a ride. It's all about trying different shapes and talking about board design.

FYI- Wavejammer Wetsuit Swap Sept. 19-20

From the Wavejammer website:

Wetsuit Swap/Sale
Saturday & Sunday
September 19 & 20

It's coming! The often imitated, but never equaled, Original Wetsuit Swap/Sale at Wavejammer. If you’re buying, you don’t need anything to swap. It’s just a great way to pick up some used equipment at a fraction of its original cost! If you’re selling, here’s how it works:

* You drop off your used wetsuit(s) or swim fin(s), the sooner the better, before the sale (they should be dropped off by Friday September 18).
* You set the price -- (a non-negotiable price)
* If we sell your stuff, you get the entire price in the form of Wavejammer store credit, good on anything in the store (valid for 1 year).
* Suits being dropped off must be dry, clean and suitable for trying on.
* Any items not sold must be picked up by Sunday September 27.

A Pleasant Surprise (surf film)

From the website http://www.apleasantsurprisefilm.com/ :

A Pleasant Surprise offers an honest look at the talents of a select group of surfers who live in a truly special part of the United States. Almost three years in the making, this film documents a world of contrast as daily changes in weather and waves prove to be all part of a larger picture; thumping beach breaks, cold water, and quick tropical storms are just a fraction of what you will find. Brought to you in Super 16mm, A Pleasant Surprise allows for the full beauty of this region and its surfers to be realized.
