Who Are Sola?

TWF and Sola: Pioneers of UK Surf Culture

TWF (The Wetsuit Factory) and Sola are two major names in UK surfing. Both have played key roles in growing the sport. Their contributions have shaped surf culture across British coastlines for decades.

TWF was established in the 1960s and began as a wetsuit manufacturer. Its aim was to make surfing accessible to everyone. By producing affordable wetsuits, TWF helped more people enjoy the water. UK waters are cold, so wetsuits are essential for surfers. TWF’s gear made year-round surfing more realistic. Their products are also popular with bodyboarders, swimmers, and paddleboarders. The brand’s focus on value and function has made it a staple in surf shops.

Sola also began in the 1960s and quickly built a strong identity. Known for its innovative designs, Sola brought style and performance to surfwear. It introduced new materials and construction methods that improved comfort and durability. Sola also gained respect for sponsoring British surfers and events. This helped grow the sport and support athletes at grassroots levels. Sola was one of the first UK brands to be recognised internationally. It proved that British companies could compete with top global surf brands.

Together, TWF and Sola helped establish a British surf industry. Before them, surfers had limited access to proper equipment. Most gear had to be imported, which was costly and slow. TWF and Sola filled this gap by offering reliable products locally. Their presence supported local surf schools, lifeguards, and retail outlets. They also helped develop a stronger sense of community around the sport.

Both brands have adapted over time to meet changing trends. They now offer gear for stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and swimming. TWF is known for its kids’ wetsuits and swimwear, making the water more accessible for families. Sola continues to push forward in wetsuit technology and surf accessories. Their products combine affordability with professional-grade performance.

Today, TWF and Sola remain respected names in British surf circles. They’ve maintained their relevance through decades of change. New generations of surfers still rely on their gear. In doing so, they’ve helped keep surf culture alive in places like Cornwall, Devon, and Wales. Their efforts have expanded participation in the sport and supported the wider coastal economy.

In summary, TWF and Sola have done more than sell wetsuits. They’ve shaped how surfing has grown in the UK. Through innovation, affordability, and community focus, they’ve left a lasting mark on British surf history. What started as small operations are now vital pillars of UK surfing.
