The fall lineup is filling in

Parrot Surf Shop — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 19:04:30 +0000

Fall is coming whether we like it or not and after this summer, I welcome a few cooler days and an electric bill less than $200. So what to do with all that $$$ you’re saving from turning off the AC – stop into Parrot and check out the latest fall lineup of hoodys, sweathers, t-shirt, jeans and a whole lot more.

Save the gas? Check out the online store where we have some of our featured items with special online pricing and free shipping. There are a lot more styles available in the shop, but there’s a lot to keep you interested in our online store.

Something new in long sleeve t-shirts

While you’re looking around, you may notice a few new features for this year’s clothing lineup. One of the things I’m really liking about this season’s t-shirts are the new cuffless long sleeve t-shirts. For once, a long sleeve t-shirt has a long enough sleeve – crazy!

Looks nice and it’s so much nicer than the ribbed cuffs. I hope this trend continues. The O’Neill Commando T-shirt, available in black or white, has this new feature and I think it’s going to be something that makes a big impact on the way t-shirts are made. Let’s hope, at least let’s keep making the sleeves long enough for us long-armed surfers!

See you soon!

Why Oahu is still the best surf destination

Parrot Surf Shop — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 04:07:06 +0000

While most of the North Shore was watching Parko come back to competition surfing, the North Shore of Oahu was firing. It’s no wonder Hawaii is still ‘the destination’ for surf vacations. Sit back and dream…

Wednesday Nov 17
Bigger surf today with a little bump on it.

Heat #16 Round 96: The waves are hiding for this heat. Glenn Hall takes 1st and Wiggoly Dantas grabs 2nd to advance to the next round. Occy does not advance.

Heat #15 Round of 96: Josh Kerr is on fire, red jersey and all. Big carving, critical turns and boosting a few airs to boot. Kerr takes this heat. Gavin Gillete takes 2nd with some very underrated (under scored?) surfing to take out Ian Walsh.

Heat #14 Round of 96: Joel Pakinson has the first 10 of the contest; throwing a tail slide on a 14 foot face at Haleiwa – wow. Parko got a 19.87 for the heat. I’ll post the video when it’s available – unreal heat. Evan Valiere takes 2nd in the heat.

The waves are smaller today.

Clash of the Legends heat today looks like it’s going to be the highest total scoring heat for the day. Tom Curren and Sunny Garcia’s little battle yesterday seems to have stimulated some nice competition.

Early round heats needed a restart due to conditions. Glassy surf connecting through the inside on only some sets. Peaks is funky and the toilet is still working, but only the Hawaiians seem to be riding it and that’s helping them advance.

Hawaiian locals tearing it up. Torrey Miester still has the highest scoring ride of the contest 9.73 Looks like Torrey might be trying for better than an overall 3rd he got last year in the Triple Crown.

Clash of the Legends heats continue. Round 1 of the Clash of the Legends saw the highest scoring heat in the contest so far, so this afternoon’s heat should be pretty good.

Andy Irons 1978-2010

Parrot Surf Shop — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 23:36:42 +0000

In the early rounds of the Puertot Rico Rip Curl Search contest, Andy Irons was missing. Rumors were flying around, maybe he partied too hard the night before, maybe he just wanted to sleep in, maybe the waves weren’t up to snuff. Whatever the reason, we now know one thing, we won’t ever see Andy Irons surf again.

En route to his home in Hawaii, Andy took a room for a night in a Dallas motel. He hadn’t been feeling well and presumably needed some rest. This morning, the 32 year old former world champ was no longer with us.

Our thoughts go out to his family and friends during this tragic time.

Blaize Blouin – 1988

Parrot Surf Shop — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 16:14:39 +0000

If you’re a skate in SC, you should know the name Blaize Blouin. At the time, he was the best and the fastest. He was so far ahead of everyone else we knew back then and so smooth. Effortless. Here’s an excerpt from the 1990 G&S video. Most of the footage is from 1988 and 1989, if I remember correctly. Here’s a little blast from the past – RIP Blaize

Big Mexico – Dana (C.M. Punk-Dracula)

Parrot Surf Shop — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 15:40:48 +0000

While on vacation in Mexico, our very own Dana (C.M.Punk-Dracula) along with Storkey and Senior Willy-T-Stones caught some of the biggest Mexico seen in a long, long time. You gotta check out this video of what was happening in Puerto while our guys were down in Mexico. Sinkholes, earthquakes and 20ft shorebreak – gotta love it
