le Bowthorpe…
Wednesday, July 20th, 2011 One of our Pioneers James Bowthorpe is going to be going on one of the most amazing trips of his life and one of the most amazing, we’ve probably ever been a part of. The details of the trip, we can’t yet divulge, it will be on foreign soil and we need to [...]
Get out and ride…
Friday, May 6th, 2011 Just spoke to James Bowthorpe, he’s the kind of guy that does – a ‘doer’. Here at Finisterre, loads of things have been happening – we have to meet product deadlines, put strategies together, we’re in and out of meetings, we have to grow up and they all need to happen, [...]
24hrs, 420 miles…
Wednesday, June 29th, 2011 on some very smooth running bearings. Words by the much loved – James Bowthorpe and images, but the very gifted Jonny Donovan I felt pretty euphoric, very endorphined up (natural only, getting high on my own supply). Was AMAZING to have so many people there when I finished and throughout- great to [...]

A thick fog lay over the freeway all the way down and Greg’s friends almost bailed, [...]
Chasing swells
Thursday, November 4th, 2010 Hey Ern, Checked into Motel 6 last night to send a couple of pics in time, but internet so shit (no doubt truckers all watching porn) that the email wouldn’t send. I tried loads of times, but it wouldn’t go. Anyhow, just tried again and it seems to have gone this [...]
Bushcraft
Thursday, September 16th, 2010 Autumn is knocking at the door and to be honest, we’re welcoming her with open arms. It’s a time when our product shines, things get busier and the bigger swells start pushing through. So in the name of Autumn, our product and swell, we’ve posted this little email from Al Mack and [...]
Why we do it
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010 Al Mackinnon - 2nd Ambassador, friend, photographer, epicure, loves a good book/good picture. If not in London processing and organizing images from a previous trip and sending away to the world’s top magazines, he’s away – somewhere in Latin America, California, the Hebrides, sleeping in the back of his VW Synchro, just [...]
Don’t miss this shot
Friday, July 23rd, 2010 We’ve kept you guys in the loop over the last 3 weeks with Tim and Ian’s Indian Ocean escapade, much of it in the spirit of exploring new islands and waves, but when the sun breaks for night, so to does the surfing. During this time, Tim would load up on [...]
