Last Friday, it was grey and raining in Cornwall. In the true spirit of all the best British summer festivals and events, whilst the rest of the country enjoyed glorious sunshine and temperatures in the twenties, the weather reverted to winter down here just as we prepared to welcome visitors to our first “Boards, Bangers and Beers” open evening at the workshop. Friday afternoon was a busy one as we made final preparations for a fully...

Wavelength...

Last Sunday dawned bright and sunny, a pleasant contrast to the weather for the World Bellyboard Championships in years past. The champs is one of our favourite events to attend; a last hurrah for summer and an opportunity to thumb our noses at the oncoming cooler weather of autumn by spending one last day in the sea without the need for a wetsuit. This year (now it's 12th) the event was busier and better than ever, with entries fully...

Well we’re back on our favourite side of the Tamar now, home in Cornwall after another great weekend up in the big smoke. Apologies if you were expecting this blog on Friday evening but time ran away from us a bit as we were all caught up in the festivities at the third annual London Surf Film Festival and preparing for our handplane-shaping workshop at the Patagonia London store on Saturday.
We're heading back up to London, but this time we're loading our tool kit and a stack of timber into the back of the van ready to put on a...
It has been a little over a year now since we relaunched our website with a new logo and a new look for Otter Surfboards, and we thought that it was...
