Adventure Sports is on the Move in Noosa

It is going to be the end of an era people. No, don't panic, we are not closing, but we are moving house! Our 'Tardis' blue box on the Noosa River has served us well for many years. From its humble beginnings with Chris De Aboitiz back in the early 2000's to now, we have slowly expanded our boundaries as you guys have supported us (thanks for that by the way), but our little shopping centre is now very busy and parking and access along with ceiling height and space in general are getting in short supply. 

So...... Welcome to our soon to be, new home: 136 Eumundi Rd Noosaville is undergoing a face lift and we will be all settled in by late June. Watch the renovations via Facebook as we paint, signwrite, clean, carpet, fit out and transform this abandoned warehouse into our new home.

Now..... We have one favour to ask in order to make the moving process easier. There are some stock items we are looking to clear or reduce as we relocate so we are offering some huge discounts on clothing, shoes, snorkels, pool toys, sunnies, wetsuits, PFD's, accessories and so much more. Check out the savings:

T shirts all $25

Boardies all $40

Globe & Cobian Thongs all $20

Hive Swimwear all $30 a piece

For the month of May, all wetsuits, boogie boards, Keens Footwear and Clothing will be on clearance, so come in, take one last look at the old shop & grab a bargain!

Don't forget, stay tuned to check out the renovations and fit out as we go. The staff are all super excited and we are looking forward to our 'shop' warming party coming soon.

Take a look at an old photo of Liam and our little shop on the Noosa River, back in 2007.

Keeping it Local

Every year as a small business we get asked to donate to loads and loads & it seems an ever increasing list of loads of charities. 

Now we have sponsored many of them over the years, but a lot of the money donated goes to administration costs for these charitable organisations and we have been thinking (I know dangerous but) there must be a better way.  

So, we would like to offer a local young person (under 18) the opportunity to learn to kitesurf FREE, along with a FREE used set up. Application is open to anyone aged between 15-18 years.

All nominations need to be by the nominee (the young person themselves). Submissions can be a video, audio, in writing or in person (instore). Tell us why you want to learn to kitesurf, what other sports you enjoy, what you like or don't like about school and anything else you think we should know.

Nominations close 30th March 2015   

Extended until the end of April School Holidays

Liquid Force Foil Board - Put to the test!

George has recently been testing the new Foil Board from Liquid Force. It certainly has awesome upwind ability and seems to work well on a variety of kite sizes. He is mastering the technique and will be offering lessons or running a clinic later in the season.

The skim fish board is easily detached and makes a great alternative for light wind or unstrapped riding progression and many intermediate riders have found it quite easy to use.

For more information - check out this onlilne brochure from Liquid Force

Five Ways for Kitesurfers to Avoid the Wind Drought Doldrums

We have had a little wind drought in Noosa; by that I mean a few days without strong wind (the locals are a little spoilt at times). It looks like the change of season is coming with SE winds predicted very soon. Instead of getting all depressed about the wind doldrums, why not take this opportunity to do one or all of these little alternatives:

  1. Do something interesting and fun with the family/partner to clock up a few brownie points for when the wind is back. You know; SUP, surf, hike, a day at Dreamworld..... Or maybe take on that project your partner has been bugging you about for ages.
  2. Check your gear over. Is there a 'bodgy' little repair you did while the wind was honking and you can now send it away for a professional repair? 
  3. Add a 'no wind' option to your repertoire so that on days like this, you can always have a fun alternative. SUP, surf, kayak, skate..... All great options.
  4. Watch DVD's - Check out some of the wave kiting DVD's or a DVD on new tricks ready to try when the wind is back.
  5. Last but not least....plan your winter escape now. There are some great options available this winter, including our Fiji Trip which will be on again this July/August.
