Please can you put me in touch with the seller? While it is a sad day if it is closing there may be items we could use in the British Surfing Museum. Rgds, Pete.

Hmm… well it’s a good 15,500 km each way for me… it may take a while in my 64 VW panel van.

I’ll try the phone number but I guess shipping could be an issue.

I went there on my honey moon, (only for a couple of hours), It as great . as for purchasing the boards and stuff. They were mainly used , hard not to say banged up , old boards. I was expecting pristine boards by the gods or Simons bells board or Toms pipe gun. otherwise maybe they’ll ebay put it to them. I should clarify the used boards are originals do disrespect.
