March comes in like a lion as we continue our free shipping offer!

Just purchase $75 or more and we’ll ship your order for FREE. 

Of course there are a couple of exclusions so we don’t lose our shirts but all you gotta do it get a couple of rash guard shirts or Hawaiian seat covers and we’ll pay your shipping – no muss, no fuss no coupons.

Just our way of saying, “thanks!”.

We just added the coolest new balance board we’ve ever seen: The GoofBoard!

Unlike most balance boards, like the Indo Board, which teeter-totter with front-to-back motion, the GoofBoard moves in a smooth side-to-side action simulating the rail-to-rail feel of surfing. Like famed surfer Wingnut says “…it’s like trimming down the line”

We guarantee you won’t find any other balance boards like this and no other balance board will duplicate the feel of surfing like the GoofBoard.

Just checkout this video and see for yourself:

Then go here to get yourself one!!!

We here at Beach Trading know it’s still tough out there economically speaking so we’re doing what we can by lowering some prices and now offering FREE SHIPPING for a limited time. 

This offer is good for UPS Ground shipping on orders of $75 or more. Unfortunately we can’t include skateboards and skateboard accessories like ramps because then we’d be paying YOU to buy these items from us!

We’re not sure how long this offer will last… as long as we can afford it, we guess… so hurry and take advantage of our free shipping offer today.

Although his final day got off to a bad start even before he got to the lake, Chris Lane hooked 41lbs, 2oz over 3 days to win his second BASS tournament on Lake Okeechobee this week.

Seems his brother and fellow competitor, Bobby Lane, backed his boat trailer into Chris’ truck nearly ripping the driver’s door off at the hinges at the hotel they were staying at!

Others may have thought it was a bad omen but not Chris… he got out on the water, settled into fishing and won the tournament.

Making long casts with the Gambler Cane Toad and a steady, medium retrieve worked to get Chris the most bites.

“I missed an 8 pounder, a 6 pounder and two 5-pound fish,” Chris said, “but I didn’t let it get me down. You have to have mental toughness to be a tournament angler and to fish baits like these. Luckily, the right hook made a big difference, and I was able to land most of my strikes.”

Congrats Chris! 

Talk about hitting us when we’re down!!

United Airlines fell in line with Delta and Continental today when they announced they will be raising the fees they charge for checked bags. Starting January 14th they will be charging $25 for the first bag and $35 for the second bag – an increase of $5 per bag.

The newly increased baggage fees apply to passengers who purchase their tickets on or after January 14th for travel on or after January 21st.

The Mauli Ola Foundation (MOF) was organized to promote education, awareness of genetic diseases and to increase research for genetic disorders.  They strive to provide a direct and immediate option for children with genetic disorders an enjoyable and healthy way of life through natural treatments.

This group of Hawaiian pro surfers is reaching out to help kids with genetic diseases such as Cystic Fibrosis so we thought their efforts were worth a mention!

They recently held a ‘Surf Experience Day’ in Hawaii to get kids who have cystic fibrosis out into the ocean water (which is high in saline) and experience what natural therapies can do for their lungs. The exercise and fun they get from these events is truly fantastic. What is even more amazing, kids who have cystic fibrosis respond very well to the salt water environment. The saline in the air and water breaks down the congestion that is in their lungs.

Here’s a video from their recent Surf Experience Day:
