What's in the kids clothing collection
Around 28 pieces spanning the full year. Billabong and Rip Curl graphic tees, Rhythm boardshorts, Roxy swimwear and summer dresses, Patagonia organic cotton layers and hoodies for colder mornings. Sizes cover ages 3 to 14, so you can kit out younger ones heading to Coney Beach and older kids who are already out at Rest Bay or on the mini ramp. Fabrics lean towards soft cotton, quick-dry polyester and recycled blends, which matters when clothes get worn daily through a Welsh summer.
How to choose kids surf and skate clothing
Size up if you want a garment to last the season, especially with hoodies and boardshorts. For swim days, pair a rash vest with boardshorts or a one-piece to cut down on sunscreen reapplication and chafing. Cotton tees are fine for day-to-day, but for actual surfing or swimming you want synthetic fabrics that dry quickly in the car on the way home. Patagonia and Rhythm tend to run slightly looser, Rip Curl and Billabong a bit more fitted. Check our size guides if you're buying a gift.
Matching gear
Full kids' range at Kids. If they're getting in the water regularly, pair clothing with a proper kids' wetsuit for Welsh sea temperatures. Finish the kit with hats, bags and sunnies from kids' accessories.

Bring the kids to the shop on Well Street, a few minutes from Rest Bay. Easier to size things in person, and we'll point you to what actually holds up against South Wales weather rather than what just looks good on the hanger.
