It is dat time mon (and womon). The water is still warm, the winds are picking up, and you want/need/deserve new gear! (Also you may want to pass on some stuff you want to upgrade or no longer use.) Windsurfing swap meet, kiteboarding swap meet, stand up paddle swap meet, surfing swap meet...it's all of that! Saturday 9/13 at Hampton Watersports. Starts at 9AM, ends at 3. The good stuff goes fast! Also this word in from the store: 2014 boards on sale.
If you've never been (or need reminding):
1. People will be there to help you (if you want help) with evaluating used gear (and its suitability for your needs.)
2. Swaps are fun places to meet other water people!
3. If you're selling gear, you get 100% store credit or 70% cash. I always ask "what windsurfer (etc) isn't going to be spending money at the store in the next year?" I never understand why anyone would want cash.
Hampton Watersports is at 1688 County Road 39 Southampton, NY 11968. 631-283-9463 (WIND)
See you there!
what should I do if I want to sell something at the swap?

Dima you can bring it Saturday morning (ideally 8:30AM so its well placed and seen by everybody) or drop it off at the shop sometime before then. Call the shop (631-283-9463) and ask what they recommend. I myself try to drop things off the Saturday before (which would be tomorrow) or I arrive no later than 9 on The Day.
