Flat….. No Surf!

As most of you know there was a fire in the apartment on Monday Feb 4th. There was a tremendous amount of smoke and water damage primarily from the water running down through the floors going through our ceilings and into our walls. Most of the clothing was damaged from the smoke and water. Thanks to the tremendously quick response by the Belmar and Avon FD’s much worse damage was averted. All of our surfboard inventory was saved as well as our photos and memorablia. We moved quickly in the days that followed to remove all of the fixtures and hardgoods, to prevent any further damage.

We’ve started to work with our insurance company and that of our landlords to assess the value of the damage and reach a settlement as quickly as possible so that we can begin the repairs.

We’ve removed all the carpeting in preparation to begin the repairs on the walls and ceilings. After the repairs are completed we’ll repaint the entire Shop, install new carpeting and get re-stocked.

If all goes well, we’re hoping to get at least the guys and surfboard areas open by mid to later April and have the entire Shop re-opened by early May.

We’ve received hundreds of calls, messages, and e-mails from our many friends. Thank you all very much for caring…….. It’s been a tough time, but we’ll get through this too!

I’ll try to update this every few days keeping you posted on our progress…….
