Company History

Ocean Sports & Boardriders Guide... where it all began... Est 1990!

Ocean Sports boardriders & BoardridersGuide.com are family run businesses established in 1990. Ocean Sports boardriders is one of the largest most established Board sports store on the South coast. Like wise BoardridersGuide.com is one of the UK's largest and most established surf, skate and snow websites running for over 30 years. We started life as mail order catalogue The Board Riders Guide waaaay back in the day. and we were the first to offer bulk clearance deals from all the top surfing and snowboarding brands along side the latest lifestyle apparel - leading the way for surf, snow and skate style.

Moving with the times we started selling online and BoardridersGuide.com was born! As the whole world took to shopping online we found that deals in our catalogue were selling out before we could get the brochure through your letterbox! We no longer print a catalogue for that reason, but we've got a few of the old copies around the building for the occasional trip down memory lane! 

What makes us different?

We don't just sell clothes - our site has a huge range of men's, womens and childrens clothing, but is equally packed with surf, snow and skateboards, technical snowboarding outerwear, wetsuits and accessories too.

We're a big enough company to guarantee our service, but still small enough to provide outstanding levels of personal attention - you'll be surprised at the efforts we will go to in getting you what you want when you want it and at the best price possible!

We have the knowledge too - our staff are actively involved in boardsports and are here to help with enquiries and technical advice. They live for the sports too and hit the surf, skate park and snow whenever they aren't working for us! We believe our service levels are second to none and best of all we are available on the phone 5 days a week to offer advice with any technical issues or simply to process an order for you. Check our Customer Comments page to see what others think of us.

The team at Boardridersguide.com are dedicated to your total satisfaction. If you have any suggestions or comments please email us at office@boardriders.co.uk.
