Wetsuits for surfing aren’t essential items. None of us ‘need’ to go surfing. It’s very much a recreational pastime that we do for fun. There are certainly health benefits, which are publicised widely. Any physical activity can be a positive thing, especially where well being is concerned. But with the cost of living such as it is these days affording to surf can be tricky. There’s also the impact of surfing on the planet.
NCW wetsuits for surfing.
Regular readers and followers of NCW’s blog will have seen our numerous posts about our ability to repair and fix wetsuits; upcycle and reuse wetsuits that really can’t be saved; our great line of used and pre-loved wetsuits; how we provided premium new wetsuits but at cheap prices; what we’re trying to do to help the planet and generally how we’re trying to help our customers get in the water alongside ease the strain on the environment.
Recently we shared an article about NCW’s used wetsuits waiting list which you can get yourself on by contacting us here. This is great for those looking to alleviate the cost of surfing wetsuits even further. And this post talks about how we’re able to salvage your wetsuit zippers more often than not. If you’re looking to find out more about our premium NCW branded wetsuits that are available for much cheaper prices than some brands here’s where you need to navigate to. And a list of our green objectives can be read here. (There’s plenty of other info about these topics elsewhere on the site if you have a nose).
The cost of surfing (and watersports).
Surfing isn’t a cheap sport. There are ways to get things done cheaper – such as buying a used wetsuit from NCW already mentioned. You could also source a secondhand surfboard to further help. As a homegrown, UK and Cornwall based surf shop NCW does everything it can to help customers get wet.
It’s the same with other watersports too. We’ll always try our best to make things affordable and offset the cost of living that all of us are bearing the brunt of. North Coast Wetsuits aims to increase your watery fun for a fraction of the cost.
Helping the planet.
If you read our list of green objectives (link in above paragraph) you’ll see how committed we are to offsetting surfing’s carbon footprint. Everyone these days is well aware that surfing isn’t the green activity it was once perceived to be. So any way we can help we’ll commit to.
Reusing wetsuits – either as a pre-loved garment or recycling/upcycling parts – is one method. Check out this recent post as well showing how we cut up old bodyboards and used worn tyres to make eco-friendly planters. We reiterated our aim for sustainability in this article as well.
We all need a helping hand sometimes, as we’ve said so often. The planet too. NCW will continue to do our bit where we can. If you have any ideas about the topics covered in this article then do get in touch.
