This month marks the one year anniversary of moving into our workshop and retail space in Belle Vue Lane, Bude.
We’ve had a great 12 months welcoming so many people who have come to visit us – whether they knew who we were before they stepped through the door or not!
There are lots of plans in the pipeline for the next year (and beyond) for Rooted Ocean, but to help guide us we would love to hear your feedback and ideas. So to celebrate our anniversary, we are running a ‘Feedback Survey’.
By answering this brief set of questions you are not only going to be helping us develop our brand, but you could also win one of 15 prizes in our random draw.
Workshop anniversary
A year ago we moved into our amazing workshop and retail space that is tucked away in the centre of Bude. The space is brilliant as allows us to have all of our making and repair equipment set out alongside our large cutting tables.
And right at the front is our retail space, where you will find our handmade gear, plus a range of clothing and accessories.
It allows us to design, build and test everything – from our gear range of bags and blankets, to our surfboard bags and more.
A look on Google Street View, which was last taken in 2018, will show you how much the building has changed before we moved in. Gone is the brown wood and brick front, and now the building is bright, airy and packed with green credentials – including the solar panels on the roof that provide us with more electricity than we need…so the rest goes back into the National Grid!
Prior to moving here, we were based out of a unit in Efford Farm, on the outskirts of Bude. This was our home for several years and allowed us to start and then grow our business from the ground up.
Visiting the workshop
We love welcoming people into the workshop, whether it’s for a chat about which gear is right for them, a browse of our newest clothing or to show us their ripped clothing and broken wetsuit zips that need repairing.
We are open Mondays to Saturdays most of the year (check in the Winter as days/times may be different), from 10am to 5:30pm.
On most days you will find a combination of the team – Lee, Matt, Maisie and Jasper, the workshop dog who loves to meet new friends.
You will find us at the bottom end of Belle Vue Lane, so look out for our signs at the top and bottom of the street to help point the way.

Help us to help you
We had a busy 12 months since moving into the workshop, which has seen us develop new products as well as refine some of our classics.
Our aim is to try and reflect the needs of our customers – we love getting feedback and ideas, so we can work to make the gear you want.
So we’ve decided to run a feedback survey for the month of July, to give us the chance to learn a bit more about the people who follow, engage or buy from us, plus gain any feedback or ideas that you might have on how we do things better.
By completing the survey you will be helping us to make Rooted Ocean the best it can be. As a ‘thank you’ for your time, we are going to giveaway 15 prizes to 15 people who complete it.
The prizes range from hoodies and tees, to Little Traveller sit mats and keyrings. We will select the winners and they will get a random prize from the selection.
It will only take you a few minutes to complete the survey and we are really grateful for everyone who does, so thank you in advance!
