Welcome to our little board store. We attempt to maintain a selection of the finest handcrafted surfboards available from all parts of the world along with boards which are suitable to start out on or boards for the occasional user. We are stoked that all of us who work here are keen surfers with the knowledge and experience to help you to choose the right board for the conditions you are likely to encounter and your level of experience. We have supplied boards to many of the top surfers in Britain and Europe and even to the odd marauding Australian and American pro. So drop in and have a chat!


 

Handshaped with Aloha by Jeff Bushman at Sunset Beach, Hawaii we have a couple of Bushmans at only £345. These are things of great beauty and are generally accepted as being just about the best boards on the planet. Just ask 2005 Hansen Monster Pipeline Pro winner Pancho Sullivan, he rides nothing else. But then so do most of the top guys over there. Luckily Jeff has shaped these boards for us with the slower and more accomodating surf of North Cornwall in mind.

And, even though Scott Crump has re-located his Sol Life Surfboards business from Half Moon Bay (home of Mavericks) in Northern California to the surf crazed superbank at Kirra in Queensland, Australia, we're still getting a few of his exquisitely handcrafted shapes through and we're banging them out at only £345.

Cheyne has been riding Scott's boards on and off for a while now and swears by them, as have Eugene, Martin and Charlie Wingfield in the past, not to mention a big chunk of the WCT and WQS guys. Check the pics for Sunny Garcia's latest addition to his full quiver .

And look who else has a nice little Scott shaped board or two tucked away, Willsy ready for the competition.

Anyway, we have a few left but be quick if you want one as they do take a while to get in if we have to order them. And they're only £345!!

We always have a selection of new and used boards to suit every level of surfing and all budgets. And we are (we really are!) trying to get pics of them on this page but they seem to sell as quickly as we can grab a digital image!

 


Check this natty little carrier from FCS. Carry your board safely and comfortably (especially when cycling or hiking into those mysto secret spots) and there's plenty of space for wetsuit, towel, sandwiches, coffee, hairdryer and lots of other stuff. And it would make a darned luvverly prezzy.

Yours for £49.95

 

 

And look what we now have in store. The complete range of FCS fins along with the FCS Test Centre!

Unsure how those fins are going to work?
Don't know a G3 from a G5?
What are those H2 or TC Redlines?

Then drop in and borrow a set and give them a go!

In the meantime, scroll down to see just some of the various fins now in stock.

FCS Fin Systems


TC Carbon Red LIne Fin set
The master of power surfing Tom Carroll's signature fin. Designed to provide speed and quick rail to rail changes without slide. A large base area providdes maximum drive to generate speed out of turns. Reduced height and tip area allows the side fins to release sooner for tighter arcs. This fin works well in all size of boards in all size waves. The carbon lite construction ensures no flex, just drive.Base 41/2" depth 45/8". £51

FCS H2 Texallium Set
A hydrodynamic evolution in fin design and performance the H2 has been proving really popular. Tested in tanks and refined by the world's best surfers the H2’s tempered elipitical shape and optimised foil delivers extraordinary efficiency with less drag, more speed and drive.
The H2’s side fins have been toed in slightly to increase manoueverabilty and rail to rail transitions, and given more ‘cant’ to push the fin deeper into the wave face during turns creating even more speed. The raked leading edge enables greater control through snaps, slides and airs. These fins won Australian design awards.
Side base 43/16" depth 410/16" Centre base 43/16" Centre depth 410/16". £72



FCS 3D Red Tip Centre Fin
With enhanced speed, lift and drive the 3D fin will take the standard thruster up to a new dimension. The fins unique tip runs parrallel to the board holding speed when up on a rail where traditional fins may pop or stall. The fins delivers extra squirt during the second half of turns, and increases lift and stability helping you glide over flat sections and adding control in broken water. £52


FCS Occy Fin set
1999 world champ Mark Occhilupo developed these fins for radical power surfing. This fin has a lot of base area to help increase drive. The progressive flex pattern in the foil offers the right combination of hold and release through fully committed rail turns. This fin is recommended for medium to heavy weight surfers. If you like to throw everything into your turns and cutbacks you must try this fin.
Base 45/8" depth 43/4". £42


FCS MR TFX Tri-Fin set
The new MR TFX set features twin fins and a small stabliser fin. The fibreglass fins provide performance and flex with the same feel as glass ons. MR created a set of fins that have good holding power and lots of drive. Even though the fins were developed primarily for the MR twin fins, they provide a geat alternative to a variety of boards including fishes, or for surfer who likes thier drive to come primarily off the front fins.
Side base 51/6" depth 59/16" Centre base 51/6" depth 59/16". £59

FCS K-Flex Fin set
A unique fin with a balance between safety and performance. The innovative K flex fin designed in conjunction with Kelly, features the high performance K2.1 template with stiff composite core encased in shock absorbing elastomere outer coating. It‘s a high performance fin with enhanced safety characteristics. The softer edges not only absorb some impact, but also allow subtle changes in the fins foil, smoothing the fins feel through the water. £49


The F Series
The F series delivers strong a ultra light fibreglass fin with a foam core for surfers who feel too much flex in composite fins and not enough in carbon lights. The progressive engineered flex is complimented by an optisised asymetryic foil for maximum hydrodynamic efficiency. The result is more speed, better response, increased accelaration and more hold and drive through turns.
They are available in proven G3000, G5000, G 7000 templates:

FCS FG-3000 Fin set
FG3 fibreglasss with foam core
side base 4 5 /16" depth 4 7/16"

fg7 fibreglasss with foam core
side base 4 9/16" depth 4 10/16"
centre base 4 9/16" depth 4 10/16"
£49



FCS K 2.1 Fin set
Kelly designed these fins to gain better performance in a wider range of conditions. The side and centre fins feature different templates, foil and flex patterns. The side fins are larger and more upright with increased flex. This helps to make for faster turns to get the most out of the wave. The centre fin is smaller and stiffer to make each turn smoother and more controlled. This combo offers slightly more manouverabilty than the original K Fin; its faster off the top and can be ridden in any size surf.
Side base 43/8" depth 417/32" Center 41/4" depth 43/8". £41
