Performance Ski and and Surf is celebrating the sales tax holiday with a surfwear blowout. They are offering numerous items at a discounted price. Headlining discounts are…

• Surfwear – Buy one item, get 2nd item 1/2 off
• Shoes & Sandals – 10%-60% off
• Backpacks & Bags – 25% off

This sale goes on from August 4th-13th (the same dates as the Florida sales tax holiday). To give a little background on the whole sales tax holiday thing, it is a state holiday that gives consumers a chance to do “back to school” shopping without having to pay sales tax. Only certain items ranging from computers, clothing, school supplies, books, etc are able to receive these tax breaks. Also, since this is a state-wide holiday, each state that participates has their own set of rules and dates.

To see if your state celebrates the holiday you can go here.
