Gulf Stream gets a makeover

May 28, 2011 | Words By: Howard

When nice people in Devon Gulf Stream get a web site makeover, is it really worth shouting about? Hell, yeah we say, why not.


More surf shops have gone than come over the last few years in Devon, which maybe a good thing, particularly in recent times. I believe Gulf Stream have lasted the course because they just look after you. I’ve had a few boards from them over the last ten years or so, and I’ve always felt like there’s a craft to their approach. And they makesome fine-looking sticks too. Next time you’re in Wooly or Braunton, drop by and have a chat or better still take a look at the new GS web site.
