About Us

Founded in the heart of Newquay's surf revolution in the 1980s, Northshore began as a dream shared between two local surfers. Seizing the opportunity to turn their passion into a livelihood, they opened the doors to what would become a cornerstone of the UK surfing community. As Newquay emerged as the epicenter of British surfing, Northshore has been at its pulse, riding the waves of change and innovation, yet remaining steadfast in our commitment to the core values of surfing culture.

For over four decades, we've been more than just a surf shop; we've been a beacon for both local enthusiasts and international visitors drawn to Cornwall's legendary waves. Our walls are steeped in history, echoing with tales of first wetsuits bought by wide-eyed youngsters, now returning with their children, continuing a cherished family tradition.

Our involvement in the local scene, highlighted by organizing the Northshore Cadet Pro Series, reflects our dedication to nurturing the next generation of surfers. This event, tailored for various age groups, embodies the spirit of fun and friendly competition, fostering a sense of community among Newquay's young surfers.

At Northshore, we pride ourselves on our expert staff, many of whom have garnered accolades in international surf competitions. Their profound knowledge and firsthand experience ensure that every customer, regardless of their surfing proficiency, receives tailored advice and support, guaranteeing an unparalleled shopping experience.

Our product range, curated with both passion and expertise, caters to every need of the surfing community. From high-performance surfboards and wetsuits to essential accessories like fins and boots, and even unique gifts, we offer an extensive selection that embodies the Northshore quality and ethos.

Embracing change, Northshore has recently expanded beyond the familiar confines of our Newquay base to the vast digital ocean. This move online marks a significant milestone, allowing us to connect with our community more deeply and serve surfers far and wide with the same dedication and expertise that have been our hallmark for over 40 years.

Rooted in the sands of Fistral Beach and stretching across the digital waves, Northshore is not just a store; it's a sanctuary for surfers. As we continue to evolve, our mission remains unchanged: to support the vibrant surf scene in Cornwall and beyond, fostering the spirit of cold-water surfing and the timeless allure of the surf lifestyle.

Join us at Northshore, where every wave tells a story, and every visit inspires a new adventure.
