The latest news and stories from our workshop, and beyond.
After August delivered us a mixed bag of weather and waves (to put a positive spin on it), the first Sunday of September at least dawned sunny and clear for the 13th annual World Bellyboard Championships. The waves weren't anything to write home about, being small and choppy north-westerly wind swell, but nobody really seemed to mind - at least it was sunny for the day of the champs! Thanks to the times of the high and low tides things got off...

Last weekend saw the 2015 Approaching Lines International Festival of Surf (presented by Reef) go down just up the road from us in Newquay.

We headed along and enjoyed some really great surf movies...

Who'd have thought that you could pack an exhibition into a medium-sized hold-all bag? As we planned our exhibit for the 2014 London Surf / Film Festival the first major problem that we were faced with was how to get it to the capital. James was busy running a "Build-Your-Own" workshop week and unable to make it along to the event, and Mat already had his train tickets booked.
