The Wave Shop: Bristol’s Surf Shop
Welcome to The Wave Shop, the surf shop at The Wave Bristol. Whether you’re gearing up for a session on the lake or just want something to wear home, you’ll find surf clothing, accessories, gifts and gear all under one roof.
The Only Dedicated Surf Shop in Bristol
We stock a hand-picked range of surf brands we love, several of them hard to find elsewhere in the UK: Florence Marine X, Outerknown, OluKai, Finisterre and Goodr sunglasses, alongside Waterhaul eyewear made from recycled fishing nets and our own Wave Collection of surf clothing and gear.
You’ll also find t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, hats, socks, sliders and flip-flops, surf essentials, magazines, books and small gifts, including honey from our own beehives on site.
The Wave Merch & Gifts
Our own range is designed in-house and carries our classic logo across hoodies, tees, bags and gifts. It looks as good in town as it does by the lake. They make great gifts too.
For colder days, our merino wool hats and fingerless gloves keep you warm between sessions and on the drive home. Another firm favourite is the Wave’s 100% cotton beach towels, ideal for drying off after a surf, a day at the beach or a trip to the sauna.

Outer Known Surfwear
Outerknown was co-founded by 11-time world champion Kelly Slater, with a focus on sustainably made surf clothing.
“Outerknown was really born out of an idea to expand creatively with clothing. I had a lot of ideas that maybe couldn't be implemented in the situations I was in before, and wanted to be free to do those, even though starting clothing line is not the easiest thing in the world” – Kelly Slater
Florence Marine X
Surf clothing inspired by pro surfer and Olympian John Florence. Florence Marine X is hard to find elsewhere in the UK.
