    Rash Vest Buyers Guide

    August 17, 2017 by Tyson Greenaway Leave a Comment

    Roxy Wholehearted Rash Vest (Dusk - PLBO)

    Everyone who has ever worn a wetsuit, or surfed somewhere warm without one, will have felt that burning sensation from your chest, neck or armpits being rubbed raw. It usually means time out of the water and no one wants to miss a good swell for a surf rash that is completely preventable by wearing a rash vest. What causes surf rash? There are two kinds of surf rash - wetsuit rash and board (or … [Read more...]

    What are the Best Ear Plugs for Surfers?

    November 11, 2014 by Tyson Greenaway Leave a Comment

    Up to the age of 35 I thought I had completely avoided any of the effects of Surfer's ear.

We started using them as part of our … [Read more...]

    New Redback Softboards have just arrived

    March 10, 2013 by Tyson Greenaway

    Redback Quickstick 6ft Blue Softboard

    It's been an incredibly busy couple of days at the surf school. We have just taken delivery of this years surf-hire fleet from Redback. We trialled one of their softboards last summer and were so impressed we bought a further 60 for this season. Most soft surfboards will either surf well or be very hard-wearing but it's nigh on impossible for a surf school teaching softboard to be both. Or so … [Read more...]
