copping out?
Often shot from the water, tow teams on the shoulder and the boys waiting in between sets, Shipsterns has opened the eyes of many. A solid North Coast winter swell can spike the emotions of most, you get anxious, you stare at it, you see a few guy take some sets on the head and for a second, you think about copping out and then your mate has you recall the video below and the rest just seems like child’s play and suits go on. Hats off to the chargers, to the guys who keep... Read More

The company was started by Sarah Bamkin, but was registered under her husband’s name,... Read More

When we started Finisterre, we did it to make cold water surf spots more accessible and to do that with product that was beautifully crafted and had the environment at its heart. As we’ve grown, so has our reach and although the growth is exciting, it can be a difficult thing to wield. However exciting going forward can be, we must always stay true to where it is that we came from. When we came across James’ video, we fell in love with it. The man is very talented,... Read More
