Gulf Stream surfboards are completely handmade with total commitment to the art and craft of high quality surfboard manufacture. Created in Croyde and made in Woolacombe, North Devon since 1993 by shaper/ owner Julian Matthews.
"When I started Gulf Stream I realised that surfers really do want a unique product made specifically for them. So, as well as our range of 'off the peg' boards, I decided to create an easily accessible 'made to measure' service. The customer gets all of the usual benefits from our use of the finest materials added to exclusive access to the design process and of course the signature Gulf Stream look.
"Our aim is to bring together the finest techniques of traditional surfboard manufacture with the innovations of modern professional surfing."
The result is a comprehensive range of ocean going surfboards with all of the advantages of owning a Gulf Stream - unique shape, bespoke art, resin detail and fine finishing.
Our Flagship shop is located on the high street in Braunton and open seven days a week. Our aim is to showcase the craft of surfboard manufacture with a full stock of all our latest shapes and designs. We carry a complete range of surfing accessories, from board bags and wetsuits to wax and roof racks. Everything the serious surfer needs to go surfing and of course the very popular range of Gulf Stream clothing. Simon who works in the shop is a very experienced surfer and can give expert advice.
We are in the process of developing a new shop online so please be patient. The result will be worth the wait. In the meantime if you have any questions please call the shop on 01271 815490 and we will be happy to help in any way we can.
