What Beginner Surfboard to Buy?

Bic surfboards have been around now for many years; they sell really well for us and have done so for many years. These surfboards are renowned for being super durable because of their indestructible construction. The board is made from a hardwearing plastic, which is then injected with foam to make the surfboard more buoyant. Due to the hard waring nature of these boards they are ideal for beginners and children. If you smash the nose into the sand, the nose won’t dent, or crack unlike a conventional glassed surfboard. Even though the Bic surfboards are geared towards the learner market, we do see surfers of all abilities using these boards in the water. They are relatively cheap, which is ideal if you want to buy a surfboard which has more volume to pick up the smaller summer waves.

 

The Bic Magnum is a surfboard which ideal for the waves here in the UK. It has lots of volume to offer and has a really nice Mini Mal shape. The Magnum’s nose is wide which follows through to the body of the surfboard to provide great float. Also the thickness of the surfboard is over 3 inch thick which is plenty of volume to make paddling, take off and standing up a breeze.

Cheap & Quality Winter Wetsuit, What is a Good Wetsuit?

A really good wetsuit less than £100

C-Skins is a UK wetsuit company which has been making wetsuits for the UK market place for more than Fifteen years. Because the fellas at C-Skins Wetsuits understand UK conditions, they create wetsuits which keep their users warm in the most frigid of waters.

We have just been delivered the brand new seasons C- Skins surflite wetsuits for adults and kids. The men’s and women’s edition are less than £100. The children’s edition is priced at £65 which is brilliant value for money. This excellent price delivers some awesome features.

So why is the C Skins Surflite such a good wetsuit?

Clearly the price is a starting point; a wetsuit which is top quality is actually difficult to find for less than £100. For 4 seasons now we have sold the Surflite and we are incredibly happy with the longevity of the wetsuit. To make sure this wetsuit lasts, C-Skins has spot taped the areas which receive the most stress when putting on and taking of the wetsuit.

To guarantee the wetsuit keeps the body warm, it's glued and blind stitched to make sure that water cannot pass through the stitches. Additionally there is a rubbery material called glide skin. This material is found in the front of the wetsuit and lower back and assists in wicking away water whilst keeping wind chill away.

The actual stretch throughout the wetsuit is extremely reasonable. Situated on the arms you will find the C-Skins high-end neoprene, this truly is great for the paddle zones and overall stretch of the wetsuit. With lots of entry level wetsuits you will find excessive panelling which decreases the stretch from the wetsuit. The Surflite's panelling is actually kept to a minimum; we were amazed to see there was clearly no seam throughout the lower part of the wetsuit.

We think the C-Skins Surflite is actually gonna give the large brand name wetsuits a hard time on the market this year. After all, C-Skins wetsuits are manufactured inside the same manufacturing facility as a number of the big brands like Billabong O’Neill, Rip Curl and Xcel.
