Windsurfing, kiteboarding, stand up paddling…all are having a swap meet at Long Island's Hampton Watersports on Saturday September 18th.
Even if you don't need to buy or sell, swap meets are fun…you meet people you haven't seen in awhile, and get to take a tour down Equipment Memory Lane. But the prime business is swapping (and "year end" sales on new gear.) If you have gear to sell, drop it off at the shop sometime in the week before the event, or come early (before 9AM) on Saturday. If you're looking to buy, remember to bring any specs you might need (ie if you're shopping for a used carbon boom, know how long/short you need it to be for your sail quiver.) And if you're looking to get a deal on closeouts of new equipment, proprietor Jonathan Ford says he'll have "Fanatic, JP, Starboard, Maui Sails, Ezzy, Naish, Ozone, Cabrinha, Dakine, Nobile all on sale 20-60% off."
So there you go.
