Yay! Consumerism characterized by aggressive marketing, psychological tactics to drive spending, and a focus on buying new products, which leads to significant economic activity and has major environmental impacts.…
This “Black Friday” I’ll be enjoying time with my family, as the girls all have an inset day.
The shop will be open in the evening as normal. I’ll likely be on the water enjoying paddling with friends.
There are some deals to be had via our website. Prices also apply in store.
See you on the water.
