West Marine Launches ‘Deck Out Dad!’ contest

WATSONVILLE, Calif. — West Marine, the world’s largest waterlife retailer exclusively offering gear, apparel and footwear for anyone who enjoys recreational time on or around the water, today announced its “Deck Out Dad” promotion. This Father’s Day, West Marine is looking for the dad most in need of a waterlife makeover. By spreading the word on social media – Instagram, Facebook and Twitter – West Marine is encouraging folks to share photos of fathers who could benefit from a $500 gift card from West Marine.

Maybe dad will spend it on foul weather gear that doesn’t leak?  Or perhaps he could use new casual attire for a lunch by the beach. It could be used for new fishing equipment for the family or personal floatation devices that don’t look like they survived World War II. Whether the dad in your life is incredibly makeover-worthy or just a bit of a tightwad, we want to hear why he deserves to win new gear from West Marine.
