BOARDSPORTS BARGAINS!!! - GREAT MARKETPLACE SHQ MELBOURNE

Image
I've been in SHQ in Sandringham, Melbourne, over the weekend. I don't know if you seen this before, but they organize something quite interesting twice a year: a Garage Sale! So the format is simple, they pick up gear from customers or whoever wants to leave it there for the weekend, they give a quote for the gear, and they show there in the garage; if sold they take a percentage on the sale, which is between 10-15%. Simple. Effective. Tons of sails, boards, sup, accessories and gear of all sort! You can pick your price range, whatever watersport you like and grab great bargain! "We do this twice a year, at the beginning of the windy season around October and at the end of the season around March" The shop is right in front of Melbourne Bay, so if like last weekend it's windy you can buy some new or used toys and go straight into the water to try it! With wing dinging and foiling getting more popular in light winds especially, there are a lot of big sails

It was a great success!!! Biggest turnover since long long time for NSW Wavesailing Summer Series, in the windiest week of the season on the North Coast!!! Wavesailors started arriving early in the week in Woolgoolga to take advantage of the great forecast for wind and waves. The first event of the season was highly anticipated and people arrived from all over the East Coast and beyond. I was a bit sick the week before the comp, and I was in doubt until the very last minute if I could made the drive...at the end I was able to recover just on Thursday, so I decided to start driving very early on Friday morning...and after 1500km and more than 16 hours I got to Woolgoolga! Well Woopi delivered again for the Surf FX Wave Classic the first event of the season with a mixture of conditions to suit all 33 competitors and 4 social sailors including Will Barnett still getting amongst it at 73!!
