Do you remember Chris Hartop?

Sure you do.... several blogs back, he was the winner of our Gul photo competition. Yes that's right, the one in the top hat drinking a brandy in the middle of the day like some rampant aristocratic guttersnipe.

Well, it just so happens that Chris and his lovely wife Katie have their own little cottage industy here in Bude town, making gorgeous retro, hand-sewn boardsocks for the discerning surfer. Huck magazine took notice of them and devoted a whole feature on the Hartops and their wares in the latest issue. Here's a shot below:

Our Tom, who owns a few of these quality socks, needed to point out that not every one comes with a dog attached.

Good to know.

Tings n' tings

The swell has not been great the last few days and I know everyone is getting a bit twitchy from lack of surf.

But if you have or can borrow a big ol' log like our little friend here

Towards the end of wed and thurs it might be worth a look?

Bude Surf Report and Forecast

Also check it out.... I know we covered this already but these are cool so look again!

We have got these snazzy Breo watches in. (Along with a few other pretty sweet products from them).

Water proof wrist mounted time pieces.

Get up for your dawny and never worry about staying in too long and being late for work ever again! Get home get showered maybe you can arrive at work early a few days on the trot and get a promotion for being keen and reliable? Or home early, get the kids brecky ready and some toast and tea in bead for the other half? Major brownie points......

All thanks to us here a Gul Bude!

What can we do for you today?
