Smile History

History

 

When we first established ourselves in 1969 there were no big name surf brands as they were in their infancy too.  Rip Curl too came into being in 1969 & Quiksilver in the early 70's, a long way off becoming the Internationally known brands they are today.

As surfing and Newquay grew in popularity we flourished.  It was a challenge keeping up with demand.  We had expanded into selling surfboards, wetsuits, hiring equipement & T. shirt printing along with a bigger clothing range too.

 
History

The shop was re built over the winter of '82 and re opened bigger & better in May '83.

Up until the 1980's the shops in Newquay were mainly seasonal, closing in the winter months, but the popularity of surfing was growing & along with the developement of the winter weight wetsuit we soon became a year round operation.
