Holly’s Winter

Our teamrider Holly has just got back from her winter retreat in Morocco. Sounds like she had a good time exploring plus she missed all the snow and the cold. That’s the life.

Bay Surf Thermal

howies — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:47:02 +0000

I’m counting down to the summer. The surf here has been pretty epic of late and the crazies of Pembrokeshire have been entering the chilly seas – massive swell and ice cream heads.

For a friend’s birthday we got him a blank to shape, another friend is lending him a stable on his farm to create the new beauty in! Summer dreams all round.

This season I am happy to say that we’ve got the new Bay Surf Thermal (in three colours for guys and two for the ladies). I have been wearing mine under my wetsuit for a while. So I’m sat dreaming of the summer, but with a happy glow because I know that I will be warm this winter.

Here’s James Parry, shot by Russ Pierre a couple of weeks ago. Seems like congratulations are in order, because James has been asked to represent Great Britain at the world championships in Peru this year. Go James!

Our team rider Toby Bradley

This is our team rider Toby, making the most of the last swell we had. He better get his surfs in while he can because he’s just about to become a father.

So we shoot a lot of catalogues in a year.
We sit on so many images that don’t get used that we have created a lovely blog of them.
Check it out.

We’re listening

After many years of hearing tales of people wearing our Merino base layers under wetsuits for extra warmth when they surf off our chilly shores, we have finally designed one specifically to wear when you’re surfing.

With Lycra knitted in for an extra snug fit, flatlocked seams that don’t rub, and a high collar to protect your neck from wetsuit rash. Thumb holes make it easier to pull your arms through your wetsuit without that annoying gathered-up-round-the-armpits feeling. And the extra-long body length keeps your midriff warm. Toasty.
