Roweman surf is an independent site run by a couple of Cornish surfers. Since 2004 we have been making functional and distinctive apparel for local surfers and for those who share our passion for surfing and for Cornwall.
My brother and I were planning a winter surf trip when we first had the idea to make the kernow boardshorts. We noticed that unless you like hibiscus flowers, £60 price tags and giant logo’s you get a bit stuck. We wanted some boardshorts that we could wear with pride- board shorts that represented Cornwall and not a mainstream surf brand. We designed the first Cornish Boardshorts and started the Kernow Boardshort company. We are the only specialist surf short company in the UK.
There have been many reports of the Kernow boardshorts in action around the globe. It's great to see that Surfers are flying the Cornish flag on their travels. Please take a look at the photo gallery and keep sending the photos in!
The kernow boardshorts are available from our favorite surf shops in Cornwall and here from the rowemansurf.com online store. If you have any questions please email
