It seems like for ages now we have had nothing but gale force winds. I have had a new surfboard sat in my house now for well over 3 weeks; its all waxed and ready to go. However, the wind keeps howling on shore, cross shore at around 24mph to 40mph down here in the South West. Judging by the reports its been pretty much the same around the country. Poor Scotland looks like it had the worst of the wind for sure.

Looking at the forecast for the next few days seems to materialise the same conditions! I want to surf, but even in the sheltered spots the conditions arent great. grrrrrr

If you want a high quality tail pad which isnt going to let you down we have just the thing! We have tried and tested Farking tail pads now for over a year and we found them to be very reliable and extremely easy to fit. When opening the tail grip out of its packaging we couldnt help but notice that these grips are made from top quality, high density foam. When fixed the surfboard they stuck well and after over a years use its still fixed to the board with no peeling!

If you know somebody who likes to bodyboard they may well like a bodyboard bag from Santa this Christmas? We have a good range of boogie board bags from as little as 21.95!

O’Neill 5212 4.5/3mm Limited Edition Wetsuit

Surfing during the winter can be a heavy task due to wearing thicker neoprene, wetsuit boots, gloves and hood. All this added weight can really be a drag, especially when the days are short and we may not surf as much. If you dont like wearing a heavy 5mm wetsuit we have just taken stock of a great wetsuit from O’Neill called the 5212 which is 4.5mm and 3mm and its limited edition! The name 5212 sounds a bit like a war ship, or some kind of bomb rather than a wetsuit, so does it do the job?

We found that this wetsuit was much lighter and warmer than conventional 5mm wetsuits and it also retained the heat of a 5mm wetsuit despite being thinner. The neoprene on this warship is super, super stretchy and feels like a second skin once on. Also the neoprene jersey has water repellent properties which prevent the neoprene socking up excess water. This keeps the wetsuit as lightweight and as dry as possible.

Features:
The 52-12 Features ONeills exclusive Techno butter material. This is the latest evolution of neoprene technology. It boasts a 17% lighter formula with 30% less water absorption therefore quicker drying, with more stretch and less weight.

70% of the core of both comes with the exclusive Air Insulated Techno Butter neoprene giving ultimate warmth.

It also features coloured 1X Super Seam Weld construction, another ONeill first. The Super Seam Weld uses 60% less material than the previous fluid seam, resulting in the most super light, super strong and super durable seam ever offered.

The 52-12 is available in 4.5/3mm with a front-zip F.U.Z.E. entry and a 3.5/3mm Z.E.N. Zip entry.

Is this the new tech for surfing? Beat the crowds with glow in the dark wetsuits and surfboards, surf when the sun weighs heavy in the sky and day turns to night!

Just landed in the Freakfish warehouse is the new colour way of the O’Neill Gooru wetsuits in the blue and black. We cant believe the technical features this wetsuit offers for the price. The O’Neill Gooru 5/3mm wetsuit now has a barrier located in the back to stop water flushing and a double rolled collar to prevent rubbing and rashes. For a full stretch wetsuit at this price you really cant go wrong with the Gooru!

Mike Douglas and Cody Townsend are surfers and water ski fanatics who have combined both sports. They have made ski’s which are suitable for surfing big waves and they are towed into the wave with a jet ski. Its a bit like big wave surfing but with water ski’s instead of a surfboard.
