Looking for a quality backpack that's more than just a school bag style?
These 2 backpacks pictures have more bells and whistles than a standard bag, plenty of room at 32 and 35 litres respectively and are great for travel.
They are our two most popular models of backpack each season:
The Rip Curl F-Light Posse
The Quiksilver Gr***de
We've just received new stock of both

Looking for some help to find someone, a Gizzy local surfer from back in the 70s.
I just had someone call the shop that is looking for someone he used to surf with on trips to Gisborne a few decades ago.
The name of the guy he is looking for is Greg Tomlinson. If anyone knows who he is and how to get in touch please message us so we can pass on his details

Misty start with very little wind.
Heaps of swell all around the place but lacking in banks at a lot of spots. Hopefully that NW offshore kicks in and things improve with tide changes.
Pretty cold mornings....if you're feeling the pinch and want to last longer in the surf come see us down at Blitz for booties, gloves and hoods.

Our most popular wetsuit boots.
As its getting colder some of you will be donning your wetsuit boots. Maybe you've left one at the beach or a rat chewed your old ones in the garage and you need a replacement.
So far this season our most popular booties are #1 O'Neill Hyperfreak Ninja and #2 Rip Curl Flashbomb
Popular because?
Ninja: tried and true basic, firm fitting sealed 3mm boot. People like the simplicity, durability on the top wear part of the boot, board feel and the price at just $90
Flashbomb: warmer and great fitting features. Soft rubber soles for good feel, 2 x compression straps for firm fit, internal split toes (for grip and no leash entanglement), Flashdry internal thermal lining and taped seams.
O'Neill Hyperfire also popular if you are lookimg for a macked out boot with a grunting rubber sole.
Come try some booties on at Blitz to find your best suited model.

Bit of a sad farewell from the Blitz crew to Keira last night.
Keira's been with us for a few years now starting as the shop grom then going full time this year on finishing school until she was poached by GisInt 😄
Thanks so much Keira for your contributions at Blitz. I've seen you grow from a pretty quiet mid teen to a confident young lady that I can't stop talking now 😉. Always loyal and reliable. Easily taken on and learnt new responsibilities quickly this year. Turning up 10 minutes early every day to boot! I think that might be partly to dodge the vacuum but appreciated all the same.
I hope the things you've learnt and experienced while working here with us at Blitz have given you some good skills to transfer to your teaching assistant role. You're going to be a great asset to that school and helping develop the next generation.
We're gonna miss having you around all the time at Blitz.
You're an awesome human, a credit to yourself and your whanau.
Good luck from the
