Their expert team will be on hand to chat through design features, materials and fin setups to help you find the perfect board for your style and ability.
Dryrobe will be on hand to ensure you stay warm and dry with a selection of free demo product. Stance will be onsite bringing the vibes with a live artwork and free socks, all soundtracked by Red Bull’s DJs!
In partnership with Boardshop
Boardshop brings their unique SURFBOARD TRADE IN program to The Wave for one day only. Have a board you just don’t surf anymore or want to trade in against a new board then the Boardshop Trade in program is for you. It’s simple, bring any board you want to get a valuation or trade in against a new board and they’ll value for you on the day. You can leave the board with Boardshop to avoid the cost of sending back and they’ll refund the agreed value against the new board purchase.
How to book
Simply book onto a surf session, head down to the lake shore and swap boards between waves to really feel the difference. It’s a relaxed, community-led day designed to help every surfer get more from every wave.
Come down, talk boards, test new shapes, and connect with fellow surfers and shapers who share your passion for progression.

Torq Surfboards
Launched in 2012, Torq Surfboards created a new standard of durability and quality in the epoxy surfboard market, offering an unmatched combination of strength and performance.
The Torq range now includes models from Channel Islands Surfboards, current ISA World Longboard Champion Edouard Delpero and Rusty Surfboards.
Our core focus has always been the industry leading TET range – the best first hardboard in the market. For shape, durability, quality and value, there’s no other board that comes close. Our boards are designed to take your surfing to the next level.
Lib Tech
Lib Tech is dedicated to board riding and hands-on high tech board building. We have spent a lifetime surfing, shaping and working with alternative, high performance, environmentally friendly materials and constructions. Traditional surfboard construction has always felt too fragile and the build process is toxic and unhealthy for the planet and craftspeople. We knew there had to be a better way…
20 years ago, Mike Olson set off on our mission to build a better surfboard. In the process he completely rewrote the book on surfboard construction. Every component we use in our ecoIMPACTO surf construction is completely new to the surf industry. Our Thermo Fusion Process radically minimizes resin exposure and sanding while creating amazingly durable, environmentally friendly, high performance surf structures that will free your mind and lift your surfing to new heights.
Firewire
Since 2006, Firewire Surfboards have been on a mission to inspire and enhance the surfing experience. Through innovative and quality surf products built with the conscious minimization of harm to the planet, we believe in our ability to improve the lives of the people and communities we touch.
From the materials we source and the techniques we use to manufacture, we have one simple goal: to ensure the best performing surfboards also leave the smallest environmental footprint possible. We are dedicated to elevating the surfing experience through innovative design, new materials and advanced construction methods. The pinnacle of surf hardgoods.
Dryrobe
The world’s first outdoor change robe. First launched in 2010, Dryrobe® is the original weather-proof change robe. Since then there have been plenty of imitators, but none come close to its quality or performance.
Designed and developed by surfer Gideon Bright, no expense is spared in the construction of Dryrobe® change robes. Whilst the concept of the garment hasn’t changed since its inception over a decade ago, the quality of materials and the design has continuously evolved, with performance and durability always at its core.
YETI
Roy and Ryan Seiders founded YETI in 2006 based on a deep love for the outdoors and the belief that if something doesn’t work, fix it. And if it doesn’t exist, build it. Since then, we've been designing products that last for generations, get you out into the Wild, and keep you there longer. #BuitForTheWild
