FULL STORY »
John Isaac and his crew of hot dogs and hep cats at the Revolver Surf Emporium have their fingers firmly on the pulse of Kernow’s surf culture.
Michael Koskela makes a superb cup of tea, but that’s not the only reason to pay this Cornish surf/skate emporium a visit… I swung by to check out the origins of a surf shop that really can claim to grow its own…

September sessions here in Cornwall are normally the best of the year, but this year the surf was pretty dire. But just when it seemed like it was going to be one of the worst autumns I can remember, October turned up with the goods.
