Back-to-Nature Sensory Spa at Bedruthan Hotel – £45

Yes, Christmas is a time for gathering, fun, pressies, turkey, morning swims or a surf, if the conditions allow.

XTRATUF ADB Ice – £119

Trusted by XTRATUF Ambassador, Andrew ‘Cotty’ Cotton and designed with XTRATUF’s legendary durability, the ADB Ice (that’s short for Ankle Deck Boot) takes the brand’s classic waterproof performance and elevates it for icy, cold-weather conditions. The real game changer? A faux shearling lining that delivers cozy warmth from the inside out. It’s like slipping into a cloud after shedding a wetsuit – soft, snug, and instantly comforting. But don’t let the comfort fool you, this boot is made to perform.

The Glaciertrek outsole features a unique rubber compound engineered for superior traction on wet, slippery surfaces, meaning every step stays steady, even when the temperatures (and waves) are unpredictable. The boot’s 100% waterproof construction ensures feet stay dry, because nothing ruins post-surf vibes faster than soggy socks.

The XTRATUF ADB Ice isn’t just a boot, it’s an invitation to keep chasing waves through winter, to stay warm and grounded no matter how wild the conditions get. It’s for the surfer who checks the swell before the weather, the one whose board never goes into storage.
