Shamal Sunglasses..as it is NOW SUNNY!



 Coming Soon.. a very New product from a guy that is so into his Windsurfing it's not true. SHAMAL (Arabic for a wind from the Nor-West..) Sunglasses are the latest creation from the mind of Tiesda You who is best known as the brains behind the designs of the Starboard iconic board range, along with many other things.

Now.. I have to say that at first glance Shamal sunglasses were something that was not of interest as I am really not a man of fashion in any sense.. but after various emails from Tiesda and then reading about the brand and his ideas, we had to agree that it would be good if at least a few of our 'Surf Fashion' brands were back where they belong (not on the High Street..) and that the revenue of those sales goes back into supporting the sport that we love, which to be honest is struggling to survive in a very harsh World economy. It's something that has been a long time coming and we are really hoping that it works!

We will have a selection of the range for you to come and have a look at (Shamal is small but not as small as our free shop space is..) and I am really excited as I'm expecting this product to be beautifully presented, which will create the 'want'. The lenses are manufactured by Zeiss, the Acetate Frames are made by Mazzucchelli so the product already has a bit of engineering 'Class' attached to it.

As for the price, at first glance they may not seem to be affordable to some but in comparison to mass produced popular brands in the same price band you are getting a very specialised piece of eye wear that should last for life, if looked after. They will be something to cherish !

The frames should be with us in the next few days and if you would like to know more.. follow these links!
