I have been at the helm of the Nineplus brand for numerous years, starting it in my bedroom at the age of 19. Since then, with an expanded online presence, and a more widespread global reach, our primary operations are now based in San Clemente, California. In 2020 we acquired 'Icons of Surf' in San Clemente, California, which has strengthened the retail aspect of our business, while Nineplus continues to focus on producing various products, including surfboards and wetsuits, Icons of Surf is the retail arm of the business.

Looking ahead to 2024, we've decided to slow down our retail presence in the UK. The Newquay shop will slowly transform into the company's office, we are still open for customers, friends, meetings, and the collection of online purchases & boards arriving from California.

In light of this change, we will be selling our current stock as we move through Summer. Please be aware that as products will no longer be regularly imported into the UK, this might be the last opportunity for many items in our current inventory. If you've been contemplating a purchase, especially for items like stock Stewart Surfboards or Magic Carpets, now is the opportune time to secure one.

Thank you for your continued support; our focus is always on improvement, not expansion.

Thank you.

Birdwell Beach Britches

In 1961 | Carrie Birdwell Mann transformed her small southern California home into a sewing room and store, launching Birdwell Beach Britches. It was one of the first businesses specializing in surf wear, making her living room one of the first surf shops. Her first employees were her husband and son. Her first customers were lifeguards in Newport Beach.
