beach stands

Hey,
I worked a beach stand two summers ago in ocmd. Its all about location so make sure you have a high volume/ touristy beach. It's also a good idea to buy two adjacent stands so you can really monopolize the beach and up your prices.

 

yes. for several years i worked at an umbrella stand. kicked ass. surfed a lot. screw being a lifeguard.

 

steens...............

 

It's been our family business for 36 years in OC. What town are you talking about? OC had the bids in December so your too late for 08. I'm not sure about DE beaches though. I might suggest that you get a job working for one of the operators and avoid the hassels of buying equipment, paying taxes, building boxes, paying the city, insurance, and all the rest. You will probably make the same or more then owning a stand or two.

 

i worked one towards the end of the summer in oc.. gett paid for sitting on the beach.

 

...and watch others surf which sucks on a good day

 

i am thinking about working at a stand this summer too. how much does it pay, and does anyone know who i can talk to or where i can get an application

 

Ya good luck trying to contain yourself when the waves are ridable and you need to sit there, I give a lot of props to anyone who can do that, if I'm near the beach I need a board under me.

 

Hey Jimbo,

The teacher you are refering to is most likely my brother!! I don't think you would be around to long with the F....it atitude either working for or in business for yourself. Around here, you have 8 weeks to make your nut for the year. With the bids as high as they are now on good streets, most operaters aren't going to allow you to blow off work for the day. I can tell you first hand, many employers in town are now hiring foreign workers because they are tired of putting up with school kids that want everything and and have no work ethic to get it. I hate to say it, but these Russian kids will work 7 days a week and stay through September and be thankful for the job. As far as employees go, they are hard to beat.

My advice, try and find a job working for Hot and Sunny the same guy who operates the Telescope pictures.

 

The Russians own all the food stores...Great workers fun to mess with but work like hell all day everyday...Plus company's don't need to pay social security..I think...But yea the F it attitude doesn't put green in your wallet. Just ride in the morning before work and get a quick session in on your break. I did it all summer and it walked out fine...Good luck though with it all

 

bomber 52, hows the snow in college. ps: campbell is gone

 

I didn't mean to give ya a hard time Jimbo, I did forget to point out that you can surf early AM and after 5:30 all summer long.

 

It stinks man i miss the beach like no other. I did pick up a new board but have yet to see it..Number 6 Goliathe, Hows riding ever other weekend...get any good riding in yet this year???? Has Bethany been any good since they redid it?

 

Funny u should bring this up again, I was talking to my brother, not uncle, yesterday about hiring for this summer and we came to the conclusion that we are tired of the local kids asking for every weekend off to do whatever and are hiring the Russkies only this year.
