Saltrock Southport
Southport
The Saltrock story started in 1988 with two surfing brothers
The early days.
The two brothers travelling the world looking for waves arrived in London. They decided to get straight on a train to the sea, asking the man at the ticket office to “take us to the nearest place there’s surf.”
They boarded a train bound for Cornwall and never looked back.
Angus and Ross loved the life in Cornwall but soon grew short of funds and decided to put their artistic talents to work. With a printing screen made from scraps they’d begged, borrowed and salvaged and a homemade blackout system from tape, nails and a salvation army rug they started printing original, surf-inspired designs on tshirts and selling them from the back of their Austin Allegro. They named their new brand Saltrock, after their favourite surf break back home in South Africa.
Saltrock Today
Still run by some of the original team, we design for the lifestyle we love - fun, creativity and laughter is the lifeblood of Saltrock. We love the British coastline and all it has to offer, we’re passionate about having the freedom to express ourselves and we surf until the sun goes down (when we get the chance!).
Saltrock is a true British success story proving that with imagination, a great team and a strong will to succeed, anything is possible.
