Core Store: Troggs Surf Shop, Northern Ireland
This July, Troggs Surf Shop celebrates four decades of serving Northern Ireland’s surf community. It doesn’t get more core than Troggs: a family business founded by a passionate surfer frustrated at how difficult it was getting hold of equipment in Northern Ireland, run by a multiple Irish National Surfing Champion, and with a surf school and now a new store dedicated exclusively to surf and watersports hardware. We caught up with proprietor Andy Hill to find out more about the store and its history as they build up to Troggs’ 40th birthday.
Core Store: Down The Line
Since opening in 1993, Hayle's Down The Line Surf Shop has always been a core surf shop, with surfboards, wetsuits and surf hardware being the backbone of their trade.
