OK Canada!!!!! Let’s get ready to cheer our faces off!!!! GO CANADA GO!!! We are so stoked here at Long Beach Surf Shop.  I mean, to be hosting the Olympics. Thats freaking awesome!!!!! Sorry if you disagree, but they are here, so get over it. I had the pleasure of watching the opening ceremonies last night (cheers Ang and Brad and Cole).  I thought we did really well, even though the final lighting of the torch didn’t quite go as planned. I joys of working with massive mechanical machines.

Time to show your Canadian colors. The first person to come into the shop with Canadian Olympic swag on gets a free Longbeach beanie. Just like Bill…
