Surf Travel

If you surf, you travel that is just a known fact…this is one of the causes why surfers never have money! Surf travel is EXPENSIVE! This is an area that Peaks and Barrels feels surfers can be assisted and in turn will help the community surf shops too.

Peaks and Barrels is planning to present just that. There is finally a website dedicated to surf touring. It is still in the early stages of progression but when you go to their website it is easy to navigate and use. Staying connected is easy with peaks and barrels free registration.I hate spam, One cool thing about peaks and barrels is that they have many ways to stay updated so if email updates are not your thing it is not a problem.

They have web 2.0 thing going and they are doing well. What I thought was really cool is that they are constantly tweeting out coupons for community surf shops. What makes this service irreplaceable is that surf shops can use Peaks and Barrels to release their coupons and surfing deals. Instead of just following all of the shops in your town you just follow peaks and barrels and you will get those surf deals even if you’re on holiday to a destination break; very cool feature!

After you grab your coupon from the PNB website or Twitter, visit their Surf Travel Map which is very easy to use and makes touring a much simpler experience. The map contains the well-known surf breaks and the neighborhood surf shops. Right now they are expanding the map to feature only the things that surfers need; food, surf, and sleep.

She Smiled and replied “You will have to wait and see, but I can tell you this…It is exactly what the surfing world needs! “You may have noticed they sell their own brand tee shirts as well. Although we confessed that we like the peaks and barrels tee shirts they refused to take ownership on who does the designing. Their shirts are fashionable and they have a great look!

Peaks and Barrels is on a mission using their outreach to help make the regional area surf shops a global destination for surfers worldwide. They are in the midst of developing some tools that the surf world has been waiting for . Surfers who travel and regional area surfers who dont travel are the target audience.

You will probably pay too much and received to little. The idea is to help keep the community surf shop in good business.
