Softboards
Soft boards are the perfect choice for first-time and beginner surfers looking to build confidence and enjoy their first experiences in the waves. Designed with plenty of volume and buoyancy, these boards provide excellent stability and make catching waves easier, helping surfers progress faster while maximising fun in the water.
Their soft construction offers a more forgiving ride, making them ideal for learning the fundamentals such as paddling, popping up, and controlling the board safely. Whether you’re taking your very first lesson or simply want a relaxed, easy-going surf session, soft boards deliver a smooth and confidence-inspiring experience in a wide range of conditions.
Available in sizes from 6’0” to 9’0”, there’s an option to suit all ages, abilities, and wave conditions.

soft tops
Soft top surfboards offer a step up in performance compared to traditional beginner soft boards, thanks to their slick hard-bottom construction which allows for greater speed, glide, and responsiveness across the water. They still retain the soft deck and forgiving feel that makes them comfortable and confidence-inspiring, while delivering improved manoeuvrability for surfers progressing beyond the basics.
A great option for beginner to intermediate surfers looking to develop their skills, soft tops combine stability, durability, and performance in one versatile package. Available in sizes ranging from 6’0” to 9’0” to suit a variety of riders and wave conditions.

HardBoards
Hard boards are designed for surfers looking for greater performance, speed, and manoeuvrability in the water. Constructed with a traditional fibreglass or epoxy shell, these boards are lighter, more responsive, and capable of generating faster turns and smoother rail-to-rail surfing compared to soft boards.
Ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers, hard boards offer increased control and performance across a wide range of wave conditions, from small summer waves to more powerful surf. With refined shapes and lower volume designs available, they allow surfers to progress their technique, improve wave selection, and push their surfing further.
Whether you’re after a fun, user-friendly minimal for cruising or a high-performance shortboard for sharper turns and speed, our range of hard boards caters to a variety of surfing styles and abilities. Available in a selection of sizes and shapes to suit different riders and conditions.

Designed with excellent stability and plenty of volume, SUPs are suitable for all abilities — from complete beginners looking for a relaxed paddle to more experienced riders wanting to explore coastlines, small waves, rivers, and open water.
Their larger shape and stable platform make them easy to balance on, providing a smooth and enjoyable experience whether you’re paddling solo, with friends, or even taking the kids along for the ride. SUPs are perfect for building confidence on the water while offering a fantastic full-body workout and a unique way to enjoy the coastline from a different perspective.
Ideal for calm days, small surf, and coastal adventures, our SUP range is available in a variety of sizes to suit different riders and conditions.

Our range includes both 4/3mm and 5/3mm suits, making them ideal for UK conditions throughout much of the year. The 4/3mm wetsuits provide a great balance of warmth and flexibility for milder days, while the thicker 5/3mm suits offer added insulation for colder sessions and winter surf.
Whether you’re taking your very first surf lesson, hiring equipment for a holiday session, or heading out for a full day in the water, our C-Skins wetsuits are designed to help you stay warmer for longer and enjoy your time in the sea comfortably.

Bodyboards are a fun, accessible, and exciting way to enjoy the waves for all ages and abilities. Easy to use and quick to learn, they’re perfect for beginners wanting to experience the thrill of riding waves, while still offering plenty of fun for more experienced riders in a range of surf conditions.
Designed with plenty of buoyancy and a soft, forgiving construction, bodyboards make catching waves easier and provide a safe and confidence-inspiring introduction to wave riding. Whether you’re cruising whitewater close to shore or progressing into steeper, faster waves, bodyboarding is a fantastic way to build ocean confidence and have fun in the surf.
