GUL Surfboards

Advantages: cheap and good for the summer
Disadvantages: Not good for winter

...The gul titanium 2 full suit wet suit is very good for the summer. Its lets in water because it has a overlock stitch but that doesn't matter for the summer. I would say even on the coldest summer days I could stay out in the sea for about 2 hours before I really start to feel the cold. This wet suit is so good because of its price at only £40 that's better then buying one for a couple hundred. I brought it a surf shop in Hayle called down the line which is a good shop. I would never wear this wet suit in the winter though it is just to thin at about 2mm. It isn't the best quality wet suit you could buy but what do you expect. I would reckon mend this wetsuit to anyone.... Read review

Basically the summer is the wrong time to buy a cheap wetsuit as it is when demand is highest. ::: Conclusion ::: As can be seen above, I managed to get a bit of a bargain, which is possibly why I think it is such a good suit for the money. But I think that even at £100 you would still be impressed. It has all the features of some of the more expensive suits but at the price of a cheap suit. And Gul is a well-known surf brand you know you are gettin a quality product. ::: Thanks for reading:::... Read review

...Humm, haven’t been around Ciao much recently mainly due to the fact I’ve been spending as much time as possible in Newquay, in the surf. Seeing as Newquay’s a 6-hour drive from my computer, it’s kind of understandable. Anyway where is this leading, a review on Newquay, um no, I can’t be bothered to discuss the pros and cons of an entire town, at least not today. So I’ll share my thoughts on my board, a 7 foot 6 Hawaiian Island Creations Mini-mal. Now bear with me, this is new ground in reviewing as there are no surfboard reviews up here yet (just a couple of body board reviews), so I have nothing to work with. Lets start with the basics, what’s a Mini-mal. Loosely interpreted it’s a board between about 7 and 8.5 feet long, anything bigger is a Mal, and anything smaller is a Short... Read review
