It looks like soon there will be no excuse left for not surfing through the whole year even in the coldest places on Earth. After Rip Curls battery heated H-Bomb wetsuit, we are offered another solution - a dry suit for surfing. Dry suits are used in different sports (especially diving) for quite a long time but dry suits and surfing never went well together. Now all this has changed.

This one is really fresh. Strap-in snowboard bindings are kind of a cross between the ordinary strap bindings and step-in bindings, bringing together the best from the both worlds, the speed of stepping in and the versatility and support of the strap bindings, only improved.

Got your snowboard, got your snowboard bindings. How to set the correct snowboard stance or how to adapt your snowboard stance to your stile of riding. Changing the stance angles, width or setback can make a lot of difference.

Surfers like to think we are ecologically oriented nature loving reduce, reuse, recycle people. But in fact the technology that makes our surfboards is quite toxic and not very friendly to the nature. But there is some improvement here, besides again making your surfboards out of wood - Homeblown blank manufacturer has presented first “green” surfboard blank.

There is a new shark repellent on the market. After all sorts of chemicals, electric currents, sound and other transmitters, this time it is a sticker. It is not a "Please do not eat me!" sticker but still. Could it be that simple? All the great inventions are simple so it just might be.

A surfboard could be just about the hardest piece of sport equipment to buy. There are so many variables that influence the way the surfboard will ride and there are so many different shapers and surfboard model, even if we do not get into the custom shaped surfboards. What kind of tail do you want, what kind of rails do you wan, what kind of fin set-up, what kind of rocker, do you want channel bottom, how thick, how wide etc... it can get confusing at the beginning. To sort things out, read our surfboard buyers guide.

It is difficult to credit a single individual for the creation of the modern wetsuit, but if you had to do it, it would be Jack O'Neill. How wetsuits came from "wool sweaters" to high tech battery powered wetsuits - History of the wetsuit.

History of surfboards, we came a long way. Can you imagine riding a 35kg/77lb heavy wooden surfboard with no fins and no rocker? I can't. This is exactly how the first solid surfboards looked like. So these days we can be grateful for new materials and light surfboards that fit under our arm as the fist surfers were (actually would be, if they knew what lays ahead) grateful for clean oceans and empty lineups. In How surfboards evolved through history from unimaginably heavy wooden planks to light and manoeuvrable surfboards.

A quick and easy explanation on how the surfboards are made. From hand shaped custom surfboards to moulded surfboards, soft surfboards, body boards and injection moulded boards. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each construction technique and who is it meant for.
