We spend a lot of time staring at the waves.Checking the swell. Watching sets roll towards the beach. Looking for somewhere to paddle out. Or simply standing there for a few minutes watching the sea do its thing.But occasionally it’s worth looking down.Because twice a day, as the tide retreats around Cornwall, another version of the coastline appears.Rockpools. Gullies. Seaweed-covered rocks. Tiny pockets of water temporarily cut off from the sea.And a surprising amount of life.The world between the tidesIt’s easy to think of the shoreline as the bit you cross on your way to the water.But the intertidal zone, the stretch of coast covered at high tide and exposed again as the water retreats, is a habitat in its...
Most surfers spend a fair amount of time hoping for fewer people on their wave...This Saturday in Newquay, the aim is exactly the opposite.On 19 September 2026, Earthwave comes to Great Western Beach with one brilliantly simple challenge: can more than 110 surfers ride the same wave at the same time?It sounds slightly ridiculous....Which is probably part of the appeal.The 110 figure comes from an Earthwave record set in South Africa in 2009, when 110 surfers were recorded riding the same wave simultaneously.This weekend, Newquay gets its chance to go one better.More than a record attempt....Earthwave describes the event around three simple ideas:One Ocean. One Community. One Wave.And looking at what’s planned, that feels pretty accurate.Alongside the record attempt, Great...
A night at the movies and wasn’t it one to remember. On the 9th February we had the pleasure of attending and sponsoring a local film event run by Gone Coastal Events
In December 2022, one of our illustrious Kosin founders Joel celebrated a milestone birthday (he doesn’t look a day over 39, we’re sure you’ll agree!). Reaching these milestones often give you the opportunity to reflect on the past decade and what you have achieved and enjoyed, as well as look forward to what you would like to get out of the next 10 years. One way to do this is to think about your bucket list. In case you aren’t familiar with the term, a bucket list is a list of things you want to experience or achieve in your life at least once. It’s usually all about the experience and we, at Kosin, are big on nature and all...
Happy New Year to you all! We hope you had a wonderful festive time and welcomed the new year in with positive vibes and thoughts on what you would like 2023 to mean for you. We’re not big on new year resolutions, but a new year means a clean slate and a new opportunity to do what you love. For us, it’s surfing and being outdoors as much as possible. The clean air of the coast and catching a great wave is what our happiness is all about, and then warming up after a surf with a cuppa in one of our soft Kosin hoodies! But what is your happy? It may be to get healthy again after all the...
