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.
Paul here at howies® is the creator of ‘Paularoid’.
He has a lot in his collection from the past and more up to date ones from the latest shoots. They have become so popular he is currently working on a great little book….

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.
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!
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.
Check out our new range… Nice!
Save a few trees and download the new catalogue. Get browsing…
