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, a more widespread global reach, our primary operations are now based in California. In 2020, I 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.

Looking ahead to 2024, we've decided to discontinue our retail presence in the UK. The Newquay shop will transform into the company's office, allowing public access only for friends, meetings, and the collection of online purchases or boards arriving from California. Although anyone is welcome when the lights are on, we believe that, at this moment, the best utilization of our UK presence is for the business's operational needs rather than simultaneous retail activities.

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

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

Cheers to a fantastic 2024!

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.
