March Update

SPRING SWAP (New date)

SUNDAY, APRIL 18, 2010

We have changed the date of the SWAP to prevent a conflict with the BABA Race Calendar. Please help spread the word. (Originally scheduled for April 25th)

FYI: You may have heard rumors that we were moving or closing the store.

The truth is that we have been in lease renewal negations for over a year, and there was a real possibility that we going to have to move the store. At the time of this newsletter, we have finally worked out a lease and it looks like East of Maui will being staying in our current location in the Riva Festival Shopping Center in Annapolis.

EAST OF MAUI/NAISH SUP RACE SERIES

In addition to our Tuesday night SUP Clinics we will be hosting a SUP race series in conjunction with the clinic. At this time we are still working out details, but in addition to the Tuesday night races there will be a couple of events on the weekends too. There will be a minimum of 6 races with points awarded in the 12’6” Class. Top points winners in both men’s and women’s classes will be invited to the Naish Championships later in the summer.

East of Maui has added even more to its SUP product lines this year and will have everything you need to get into this fast growing and exciting sport. To find out more stop by the shop or give us a call.

We should be seeing our first shipments of windsurfing gear towards the end of the month We will primarily be focusing on Ezzy, Naish, and Sailworks sails, and Bic, Exocet, Naish, Starboards for boards. Please remember, that just because you don’t see it on our sales floor doesn’t mean we can’t get it for you.

NEW CHINOOK BOOMS will be available towards the end of March or the 1st part of April. The Pro 1 Alloy booms have exceptional torsional rigidity and fit both standard and reduced diameter masts perfectly. The booms will sell for $225.
