Compared with the sports shop in town, this place has far more choice of surfboard fins and leashes. The high street only stocks the big brands. Ordered on the site and it came in good time. The fins fit my board well and I'm glad I didn't have to drive all the way to the coast.
Read moreBought a set of 52mm wheels to go with a complete I got for my birthday. They arrived in a padded envelope, nothing damaged, which was good. The wheels themselves are fine but a bit harder than I expected for cruising. Took me a while to get used to them, but for the money it's an OK start.
Read moreGot a set of bearings and a new grip tape for the price of one bearing set at the big chain near me, so the saving was obvious straight away. Delivery was next day and the packing was fine, nothing got damaged. I checked a couple of other sites and this one was the cheapest for the same stuff. For the money I can't see a reason to go anywhere else for my bits.
Read moreI needed new trucks because the old ones had cracked at the baseplate and my board was unrideable. Found the set I wanted here and ordered them. Arrived in two days. Mounting them was simple enough. The price was a little higher than one place I saw but the stock was in and the site was easy.
Compared with the other online shop I use for sports bits, this one is a touch dearer on the boards. Still, the quality is good and the packaging was careful. I had one query about sizing and the reply came the next morning, which was helpful. I'd order again if I needed something quickly.
Honestly this was the best value I found. I looked at three other shops and their boards were either dearer or the decks looked thinner. The one I went for is solid and rides well. Delivery was fine, took about four days. Only thing is the grip came slightly off the edge so I had to press it down myself.
Needed replacement wheels after my old set went flat spotted from a bad fall on the hill. Got them ordered within a few minutes of looking. The colour was a bit different to the photo but still looks decent on the board. Sturdy and roll well. Good for the price.
My first order was a complete deck, and I was nervous about getting the size right, but the sizing guide was clear. It turned up in three days. The only thing that bugged me was the returns page, which took a bit of finding, but the deck itself is solid and I'm happy with it.
The leash arrived quicker than I expected, which was a pleasant surprise for my grandson's birthday. I did find the checkout a little fiddly on my tablet, but the staff were kind enough to reply to my email the same afternoon.
