Curve Surfboard Sling

Chris Thain of Thain Leisure has in the past lived and worked in California Huntington Beach, which is where he first got interested in surfing and other board sports, then having relocated to the UK, he found himself in North Devon, home of some of the best surfing in the country where his kids got into surfing and one day on a trip to Croyde he found himself having to carry two boards over the dunes and down to the sea, he said to himself “there must be an easier way to do this” on returning home and with much searching on the internet and came across the Curve sling, perfect for the job of carrying boards and kit to the beach, so one thing led to another and in April this year Thain Leisure received it’s first stock of Curve products.
