Is Your Gear Getting Soaked?

At the end of the day when your gloves are soaked, your jacket is leaking, and your boots feel like a swamp, PelicanShops advices you to re-waterproof your gear. This is the easier, cheaper, and more sustainable option, compared to buying new stuff It also helps to make your gear last longer.
Wash

The first step is to clean up your gear. Anything you have spilt will clog the pores of your gear’s fabric.. When a fabric’s pores are clogged, moisture cannot escape and you end up soaked in your own sweat. Wash your garments on a normal, cold-water cycle with a powder detergent.  You can also any of the many specialized cleaners that are out there.
Apply
Again there are plenty of options for product to use to waterproof your gear.  Just make sure you get all of what you are waterproofing covered.  Nothing is more annoying than a wet spot in an uncomfortable place.
Dry

After you’ve revitalized your old gear, let it drip dry or toss it in the dryer on a low setting (throw a tennis ball in with your down items to keep them lofty). If you’ve waxed your boots or gloves, make sure to buff out the excess wax and give the wax a day to set in.
If you need new gear or the stuff to waterproof your gear check out Pelican Shops!

Friendly Competition to Kick-Flip Off Surf Season

Volcom is giving away $20,000 to the first person that can land a “proper” kickflip while surfing! By proper we mean an “above and off the lip” kickflip where first you bottom turn, launch an air, use your front foot to flip the board, and then land on it and ride out cleanly. No chop hops, backwash, fingerflips, grabs or laybacks. Just a proper kickflip. We’re going to be strict on these following guidelines. The rules are all listed here, so get out there and put this trick in the history books. Good luck!

Pelican Shops is the East Coast's Largest Ski Shop in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Check out our option to buy program and great deals on ski.

Rules:
1. Your entry must be on video from the start of the trick through the ride out. No photos allowed.
2. This contest is open to everyone. The contest begins today and will run until there’s a winner.
3. The kickflip must be a proper air that begins from a bottom turn, is launched off the lip and travels above the wave. No backwash, No chop hops, or anything in the flats, from the wave face, or below the lip of the wave.
4. All waves must be self caught -- You must paddle into the wave. This means NO tow-ats, step-offs, jetskis, boats, dinghys, winches, canoes, oars, helicopters, dolphins or assistance of any kind.
5. No grabs of any kind. Not before, not after, not during.
6. You must completely “ride out” of the kickflip. That means if you land on the back of the wave and fail to continue surfing the wave -- it’s not a make!
