The Best Surfboard Sock for Ultimate Protection

Made By Hawaiian South Shore   We surfers are often very protective of our surfboards—and for good reason! Not only are they a substantial financial investment, but they are also a very personal and prized possession. They each have personalities of their own, riding differently and thriving in different waves. And each surfboard has memories associated with them—session with friends, surf trips that we took them on, and specific waves that we rode on them that we will remember forever. For all of these reasons, it is important to treat our surfboards well—to wash them in freshwater after surf sessions, keep...

JS Monsta Box Wins 2018 SBIA Surfboard of the Year Award

When a surfboard works, people usually know about it. Word spreads quickly on the coconut wireless, and the best shapers always have stacks of board orders piled up in their shaping bays. But once in awhile a board gets more official recognition than simple popularity. Occasionally, the industry acknowledges excellence and forward thinking—and in Australia, that acknowledgement typically comes in the form of a SBIA award. The SBIA awards are an annual Australian award that recognizes excellence in the surf industry, with categories like brand of the year, marketing campaign of the year, wetsuit of the year, and sales rep...

The irony, of course, is that TCSS is...

COMFY WARM AND SOFT STRAW HAT WETSUIT

Surf industry pioneer,, Jack O'Neill at his cliff-side home in Santa Cruz,Ca - http://www.sfgate.com/ When Jack O’Neill introduced the wetsuit in 1952, he couldn’t have known the impact his new product would have. All Jack wanted was to surf for longer periods of time in San Francisco, where the average water temp was in the mid-50s. But 60 years later, wetsuits have advanced to the point where we can surf water in places like Iceland and Alaska, all the way down to the slushy freezing point. Wetsuits are made by dozens of surf companies and boutique brands specializing in high-quality...
