Established over 50 years ago by passionate surfer Bob Westlake, Alder was born from a simple idea — to create high-quality surfing products designed specifically for the cold and demanding waters of the British coastline. \u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"853\" data-start=\"393\"\u003eDuring the 1960s, surfing in the UK was still in its infancy, and authentic surf apparel was difficult to find. Recognising this gap in the market, Bob Westlake and his wife Annie began producing some of the very first surf clothing and boardshorts in Britain from their family farm in Devon. Their passion for surfing and commitment to craftsmanship laid the foundations for what would eventually become Alder Sportswear. \u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1272\" data-start=\"855\"\u003eOver the decades, Alder has evolved into a trusted name within UK surf culture, developing an extensive range of wetsuits, bodyboards, surf accessories, neoprene products, and surf school equipment. Known for combining performance, durability, comfort, and affordability, Alder products are designed by surfers who understand the unique challenges of British and European waters. \u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1631\" data-start=\"1274\"\u003eAlder’s heritage is deeply connected to grassroots surfing, supporting surf schools, local riders, and generations of surfers learning their craft along the UK coastline. The brand has also worked with respected surfers and competitors throughout its history, helping cement its reputation within the surfing community. \u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2046\" data-start=\"1633\"\u003eToday, Alder continues to innovate with modern wetsuit technologies, eco-conscious materials, and performance-driven designs while remaining true to its original mission — creating reliable surf equipment that makes surfing accessible to everyone. With roots firmly planted in Devon and a heritage built on authentic British surfing culture, Alder remains a favourite among beginner and experienced surfers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alder","offers":[{"title":"XS (UK 3-5)","offer_id":56870114853242,"sku":"HWSFV-0-d-XS","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"S (UK 5-7)","offer_id":56870114886010,"sku":"HWSFV-0-e-S","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"M (UK 7-9)","offer_id":56870114918778,"sku":"HWSFV-0-h-M","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"L (UK 9-11)","offer_id":56870114951546,"sku":"HWSFV-0-k-L","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL (UK 11-13)","offer_id":56870114984314,"sku":"HWSFV-0-XL","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1970\/3995\/files\/VORTEX_BODYBOARD_FIN_V1.jpg?v=1778246887","url":"https:\/\/bobgnarlysurf.shop\/es\/products\/apex-vortex-gel-swim-fins","provider":"Bob Gnarly Surf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
