Surf Shop Customer Service – NCW’s Traditional Approach in 2025 and Beyond
Surf Shop customer service isn’t always as good as it should be – in our opinion. In a world where shopping has become fast-paced and impersonal, North Coast Wetsuits (NCW) takes pride in sticking to a more traditional surf shop service. The old school kind if you will.

Decades of Knowledge & Experience
Based on decades of knowledge and hands-on surf experience, NCW is not just another surf shop retailer—it’s a family-run business that understands the ocean, the gear, and the people who use it. In 2025 and beyond, our ethos remains the same: every surfer, bodyboarder, or sea adventurer deserves the right wetsuit at the right price, with the right customer service.
A Surf Shop Run by Experts
Unlike big-name online chains, NCW is run by experienced owners who have spent years in the water themselves. This isn’t just a business—it’s a lifestyle. That means when you ask for advice, you’re speaking to people who have tested wetsuits in real surf conditions. NCW’s honest approach ensures you’ll never be pressured into buying something unsuitable. Instead, NCW takes the time to listen, understand your needs, and recommend the exact product that works for your style of surfing, your local conditions, and your budget.
A Surf Shop for Everyone
Surfing is for all. NCW embraces this by catering to a wide community—young or old, beginner or expert, able-bodied or those with additional needs. We believe nobody should be excluded from enjoying the sea. Getting the right wetsuit with the correct fit is at the heart of that commitment. That’s why NCW doesn’t just stock wetsuits—they offer an in-house alteration service too. If something isn’t quite perfect off the rail, it will be adjusted until it fits you 100%. The result? Comfort, performance, and confidence every time you hit the water. See the videos below for some examples of NCW’s work.
Budget-Friendly Without Compromise
One of NCW’s strongest values is affordability. While many surf shops stock expensive gear that can be out of reach for newcomers, NCW makes sure their wetsuits remain accessible. Affordable doesn’t mean low quality here. Our wetsuits are tough, reliable, and designed for British waters. It’s about giving surfers the chance to enjoy the sea without breaking the bank.
For those looking for even more budget-conscious options, NCW also offers a selection of second-hand wetsuits. These pre-loved suits are carefully checked, ensuring that quality and durability are never compromised. It’s a smart, sustainable option for surfers who want to save money while reducing waste.
Looking Ahead: 2025 and Beyond
As surfing continues to grow, many surf shops risk losing that personal touch. NCW is determined to go the other way. This traditional approach—genuine service, expert knowledge, and community values—will remain central to our identity. Whether you’re a seasoned wave rider or stepping into your first wetsuit, NCW is a surf shop that stands by you.
