Behind the scenes our Spring launch
We’ve been shooting product videos here at Finisterre for seven years now. We go to the same spot, just behind the workshop, it’s this green door, looks like you could blow it down with a breath of air and we take a box of products and a handful of jacked up people. In order to [...]
Fathoms Left to Fall
“The yin and yang of a trip. The highs and the lows. The epic rides and the epic falls. Surfing isn’t a easy game to get right, once in a lifetime 50 ft faces followed by a endless search for shelter. Tides reveal dry reefs, squalls break promises. Rain dampens enthusiasm, talk of hidden secrets [...]
Riding coat tails
They revolve their 52 weeks around the biggest swells in the world and when you hear from them just before a big swell is about to push through, it’s impossible not to get caught up in it all. Carlos Burle, Chris Bertish and Grant Washburn have been little and big parts of what we’ve done [...]

Over 4 years ago Steve Jones got in touch with us and said that he was putting a film together. He said it would be cold and wet where he was going and that he needed some products for him and crew, to keep them safe, to keep them warm. We didn’t ask too many [...]
Surfing with Reno Kai
Carlos is the first athlete we got on board. Over the years we’ve seen him capture big wave titles, marry and grow a family. We were speaking the other day and he said there was a cool little video he had of his boy Reno Kai. Somethings telling us he’ll be followig in the footsteps [...]
A beautiful little button
Charlotte Brontë once said, “I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.” Independence is beautiful thing, it allows you to do the things you truly believe in. Take our new range for instance, this year we’re back to doing what we believe in, the [...]
perspective
It’s almost impossible for us to conceive of making a living digging through garbage. But for hundreds of children and adolescents who live on the municipal dump outside Managua, Nicaragua – the poorest country in South and Central America – it’s impossible to imagine anything else. Survival takes every minute of their day and every [...]
Nice to take the hat off
You work with people and admire them for what they do and every so often, that admiration for what they do, evolves into admiration for who they are and Al Mackinnon is very much that. He’s been with us since 2006, has been the eye behind some of our most iconic images and is probably [...]
Pins on strings
Her name is Sophie Hellyer, she’s known for her silky style on a short board and her magic hand at bowling. We’ve been doing little bits and pieces with Soph for a while now and we dig her. Her surf career started at the Westward Ho surf club when she was 14. She lives opposite [...]
