ESS…. Over 30 years of history and two stores strong. It all began back in 1988 when Mark bought a little ski & windsurf shop on the Central Coast called Erina Sail & Ski. This was back in the day where skis were long and thin, one piece suits were fluro, and snowboards were just making their debut in Australia…. Lift tickets were only thirty five bucks, the Ski Tube was brand new, as was Friday Flat at Thredbo.
The flagship Erina store was small, occupying only the middle of the three units that makes up the store today. In 1989 ESS bought it first range of snowboards from Burton, Kemper & Hooger Booger together with a range of cool & colourful snowboard outerwear from Wave Rave. Over the next few years the store would take small bus trips off to the snow cramming 14 people in a mini bus for a weekend of fun & lots of laughs as a new breed of snowboarders hit the slopes with gusto. The store also held “Ski Shows’ at “Peppers’ at Terrigal & Central Coast Leagues Club to hype everyone up on the coming snow season, we had new products, fashion parades and a huge after parties.
