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.

Got a tub of surf wax in cold water on my phone during my lunch break. Checkout was quick and it was sorted before I got back. Lasts ages and grips well on my board. No issues, just a solid buy.
Got the 5mm wetsuit booties on the way to work, pretty much bought them on my phone at the bus stop. They were in the box the next afternoon. Warm, stretchy, and they stay on when I'm paddling. No complaints at all.
Been ordering from them for years now and they have never let me down. Bearings, grip tape and the odd deck when mine finally snap. The site is easy to search by brand, stock is usually there, and the emails about restocks are useful rather than spammy. My go to for anything skate related and I keep coming back for a reason.

They are the best place to get a decent set of bearings without paying through the nose. Ordered a pair of wheels and a set of bushings and everything came together in one box. Prices are honest and the site doesn't hit you with extra charges at the end. Got what I paid for and will be back.
Ordered a replacement grip and a set of stronger screws for my old board. Simple process and the things turned up when they said they would. Quality is good for the money and the instructions were clear enough. The price was fair and I didn't pay any extra for postage.
Needed a helmet quick as my little one was starting lessons on Saturday and the shop near us had nothing in kids sizes. Ordered Friday night on my phone, checkout took two minutes. Arrived Monday. Fits well, straps are solid. Saved me a trip into town and the kid is delighted.
Compared to the big sports chain I usually go to, this site has a much better range of surf wax and fin systems. The prices are roughly the same once you add the chain's delivery fee, which they don't charge here. I have ordered maybe a dozen times now. Stock tends to be right and I have never had a wrong item sent.
Compared to the sports shop in town this site has way more choice of fins and leashes, and the prices are a bit lower too. Checkout was quick on my phone and the leash turned up in two days. Would order again.
The detail that struck me most was the neat stitching on the rash vest, which seems better made than I expected at this price. I placed the order in the morning and it came the following week, quite as described. Sizing was spot on. A pleasant experience from start to finish.
Ordered a sheet of grip tape and a pair of skate tools on my phone on Sunday night and they were at my door by Tuesday dinner. Didn't expect that from a site that's not on the high street. Packed well too, nothing was bashed about. Would order again for sure, cheers.
