it's starting to feel like summer is here

Oh yeah, team rider Kyle Calandra is also heading to the UST Cabo Clasico next week with the Exile team—he's gonna be very happy to get out of a wintersuit... Photo: Ryan Johnson

After a very long and arduous winter and spring our Surf Shack South location in Bay Village is very near being back open for business. We're going to have a whole new look in there but will still have the same great products we've always offered (and even some new brands too!). Stop on in this weekend and say hi if you're around, as we'll be completing the finishing touches for next week's holiday and grand re-opening.

And if you're in Bay Village this weekend make sure you check out the LBI Wine Fest going on. Always a great kick off to the summer. There's also a few other superb events happening this weekend if you are down on the Island:

• 1st Annual LBI Classic Fish Fry Benefit for Sandy Relief (benefits ALO as well)
• Frank Panzone Jr. Memorial Cruisin For A Cure

These are two solid events that support some tremendous causes, so if you're on the Island this weekend you've got plenty to do. We'll be seeing you at Surf Shack South next week and stop by our new (and permanent) Manahawkin skate shop The Shack anytime.
