C-Skins, the trip from The Hague to The Wave, Bristol, was more than a road trip.
The Wave offered something intriguingly different than the team has been used to – consistency. A reliable surf, wave after beautiful wave pure perfection, providing a contrast to our beloved, albeit sometimes messy, northsea. But with the Schevening stokeness the team brought to the UK every day was a new exploration of techniques and tricks where they showed why they are the
Hart Beach Team Riders.

Boards
Bradley Mosselman 2.0
The Mosselman 2.0 by Christiaan Bradley, is a board that splits water like Moses. The board has a low-medium entry rocker and a low-exit rocker and works through the board continuously. The continuous rocker allows the board to pivot easily in smaller conditions. The deep double concave ensures that the board keeps its speed through your turns and transitions. The wide point is the same as the previous Mosselman, so the paddle power is of course present.
Bradley The One
Bradley's first all out full high performance design. With wins from Kelly, Jeremy, Wilko, Leo etc. This board has constantly evolved but the basic rocker has stayed true. It carries great speed, hold, drive in all types of surf and also let's you pull out the raddest maneuvers. Full high performance outline.
Torq Comp Act
With increased volume in the larger sizes we’ve improved the speed generation though floatation and planing speed. To make use of the extra speed generation we adjusted the rocker for easier direction changes – ie. more power, more critical turns.
Torq Pod Mod
The Pod Mod is a board that was designed by channel islands and turned into a collaboration with Torq. The reason for this is because the pod mods design is very user friendly, and has a wide target audience, whether you are a beginner surfer or an advanced surfer this board will be perfect for the mushy small conditions!
