We were one of the founding sponsors of The British Surf Museum. It is a real and vast collection and an online resource. Conceived, researched and run by Peter Robinson using his experience as an investigative journalist, he has set himself the task of writing and documenting the history of surfing in the UK.

His tireless search means there is something to surprise and entertain everyone. Also, the collection should soon have a permanent home that you can visit in person.
