Whether you’re planning a relaxed beach break or an active seaside escape, having the right snorkelling sets and beach equipment helps you feel prepared, comfortable and ready to enjoy the moment. This collection brings together practical sea gear and beach essentials designed for real days outdoors, from early swims to long afternoons on the sand. As a surf shop in Hove, Ocean Sports Board Riders understands how people really spend time by the water and the gear that fits into those days without fuss.
Our snorkelling sets are designed for easy breathing and clear vision in the water, making them ideal for casual snorkelling close to shore, exploring rocky shallows or taking away on holiday. The Typhoon snorkelling set is a reliable option for both beginners and those returning to snorkelling while travelling, with a mask made using tempered safety glass and a soft silicone skirt that sits comfortably on the face for longer periods in the water. The snorkel features a large bore tube for unrestricted breathing, alongside a semi-dry top that helps minimise water ingress when you’re moving through small waves. A built-in purge valve allows for easy clearing, reducing gurgling and helping the snorkel feel smooth and natural to use whether you’re swimming locally or discovering new spots abroad.
When paired with Alder swim fins, moving through the water feels more efficient and less tiring, making longer swims feel easier and more manageable. Designed with a pro-style surf and swim fin shape, they feature an adjustable heel strap and a comfortable foot pocket that helps reduce pressure during longer periods in the water. Made from high quality materials, Alder fins are well suited to swimming, snorkelling or pool training, making them a versatile choice whether you’re preparing for a trip, keeping fit or simply enjoying time in the sea.
Bodyboards are a simple way to spend more time in the water, and options like the Apex bodyboard, Body Glove bodyboard and Vision Pro body boards are great for adults and children alike. Built to be durable and able to withstand impact from larger waves, they’re designed for repeated use in real sea conditions. Each board features a central stringer, a fibreglass rod that runs down the centre of the board to help it maintain stiffness and control on the water. The base includes a hard-wearing slick that enhances overall board performance by adding strength and resistance, while also helping increase speed and manoeuvrability for a smoother, more enjoyable ride.
Some of the best beach moments happen out of the water. A Carhartt frisbee keeps things light and social on the sand, perfect for unwinding between swims. The YETI Rambler is the perfect outdoor flask, thanks to its double-wall vacuum insulation that helps keep drinks hot or cold for hours. It’s dishwasher safe for easy cleaning and features YETI’s clever Chug cap, which works as a useful carry handle when the lid is on and becomes an easy-to-use spout when removed, making it practical whether you’re on the beach, travelling or heading home after a long day outside.
Practical beach equipment can quietly make everything feel easier. No more worrying about your keys whilst in the water. Simply place them in the Bulldog secure key lock box, scramble the code and lock it on or near your car before heading into the sea. Its robust, weather-resistant design helps keep keys safe and protected until your time in the water is finished. Alongside this, the Fidlock dry bag and Global waterproof phone cases help protect valuables from water and sand, while still allowing your phone to remain fully functioning inside the case. Each phone case also includes a lanyard, making it easy to keep your phone secure and close at hand while you’re on the move.

Brought together by our surf shop in Hove, it reflects what people genuinely need for beach trips that include everyone. From adults looking to unwind to children discovering the sea for the first time, this is gear chosen to help those moments feel simple, comfortable and worth remembering.
