As you may or not may not be aware, Greg and Schlep are now the proud owners of Moonbeach. Following about 10 years of combined service, they have finally made the move and bought Moonbeach. They are now planning to continue providing the same Moonbeach holiday experience with a few added tweaks...
Some of the tweaks include:
A new centre; as charming as MB is and was, there has always been a few bits and pieces that maybe could have been better. So, for 2010 there will be a brand new centre, with space a plenty, and for all seasons too (winter included). The bar will also be back, but again with a little more space for those that don’t want so much noise and revelry...
You will be able to follow the build on the Moonbeach Blog which will feature all the highs and lows of this somewhat daunting project, including hopefully a few pics and an occasional update on the winter winds...
For the windsurfing, we are adding an all carbon - hi-tech set of equipment. The X-Rack will feature both Tushingham and Ezzy sails including the hotly anticipated Wave Panther II, all rigged on 100% rdm carbon masts with carbon booms. Complete with a set of top end boards from RRD and Starboard, these will offer the ultimate in kit hire experience.
Our regular kit rack will also see plenty of upgrades, with new boards from Starboard and sails from Tushingham’s new Rock, Wedge and T’Bird ranges, and comprehensive additions to our beginner, intermediate and kids equipment. Those with their own kit,are of course more than welcome, and we will be happy to transport and store your equipment, right at the waters edge.
Yoga is also back, and heading up our team for 2010 is Jane Sleven. A stalwart of Moonbeach’s yoga rosta, Jane will be on-site from March 15th, bringing her Astanga yoga, and comprehensive and varied massage to our favourite beach front retreat.
Kitesurfing; whilst we don’t have the space at our trusted beach, we have plenty within a short drive that can pay host to your kiting needs... including flat water and open sea, all offering safety and rescue services, we can cater for all tastes. All this and the renowned moonbeach hospitality of an evening... what more could you want?
...and finally - a special thanks:
We would like to thank both Lez and Phil for everything. For being great bosses, for instigating numerous hangovers, and for leaving us with a fantastic legacy, but most of all for introducing us to Moonbeach! Thanks guys, we like to wish both you all the best with your future endeavours, and hopefully we’ll see you out here at the beach sometime soon.
All in all we hope you will find Moonbeach better than ever, we’re open from March 15th, and as always are happy to accommodate you for 1 day or 30. Rick is still with us, and he’ll be on hand as always to answer your questions and provide you with all the new info, especially whilst we get the new site finished so give him a call.
In the meantime, keep an eye out for the new brochure, the blog goes online shortly, this will keep you up-to-date as the building work proceeds, and our final website should be online early in the new year... and with that we’d all like to wish you all a happy xmas, and a windy new year, and hopefully we’ll see you on the water.
Greg, Schlep, Strawbs and Maged
