Spend any time paddleboarding along the Cornish coast and you will notice a shift. More people are stepping off their boards wrapped in warm changing robes instead of juggling towels and dry clothes. What started as a cold weather solution has quickly become an essential bit of kit for paddleboarders all year round.

At Cornwall Swim Company we have seen this change first hand. Customers who buy one robe often come back for another for a partner or child. Once you experience the comfort and ease of a proper changing robe, it is hard to go back.

The Problem With Towels and Cold Car Parks

Most paddleboarders begin with a towel and good intentions. On a warm still day it does the job. But as soon as the wind picks up or the temperature drops, the towel system falls apart. Towels slip, offer no wind protection, and leave you rushing through an awkward change.

Coming off the water is when your body cools fastest. Standing half dressed in a breezy car park is not enjoyable and it can cut a great session short. A changing robe removes that problem entirely by giving you instant warmth and privacy the moment you pull it on.

Warmth That Works After Every Paddle

The number one reason paddleboarders switch to changing robes is warmth. Even in summer, coastal winds can feel sharp once you are wet. Our changing robes are fleece lined to trap heat and block out the chill while still feeling soft and comfortable against the skin.

They are designed to be roomy so you can change underneath without struggling. No hopping around, no rushing, no cold shock. You stay warm, covered, and relaxed while you take your wetsuit or swimwear off at your own pace.

Practical Kit That Fits Real Paddleboard Life

Paddleboarding comes with plenty of gear. Boards, paddles, leashes, pumps and bags quickly fill your hands. A towel is just another thing to manage. A changing robe simplifies everything.

You can throw it on straight away, walk back to your car, pack up your board, and even stop for a drink without needing to change immediately. Many paddleboarders use their robe as an outer layer before and after sessions because it is practical, warm, and easy to wear.

Making Paddleboarding More Enjoyable Year Round

One of the biggest benefits of a changing robe is that it extends your paddleboarding season. Cold shoulders and frozen fingers are often what push people off the water for months at a time.

With a robe, finishing a session feels comfortable even on colder days. You are more likely to paddle early in the morning, later in the evening, or through the cooler months because you know you will be warm once you are out of the water. More comfort means more time doing what you love.

Perfect for Families and Group Sessions

Paddleboarding has become a favourite activity for families, and changing robes make group outings much easier. At Cornwall Swim Company we stock a full range of men’s, women’s, and kids changing robes so everyone can stay warm and covered.

Parents love them because children stay happy and warm while getting changed. Kids love them because they feel cosy and fun to wear. Matching robes also make it easier to spot your group on busy beaches and lakes.

A More Sustainable Choice

People who spend time on the water often care deeply about protecting it. Sustainability matters. That is why our changing robes are packed using eco packaging made from recycled materials.

Choosing better packaging might seem like a small thing, but it adds up. Paddleboarders appreciate knowing their kit arrives responsibly packed and ready for many seasons of use.

Easy Ordering With Trusted Service

We believe buying good kit should feel straightforward. Orders over twenty pounds are sent with Royal Mail Tracked delivery so you know where your parcel is. If something is not quite right, returns are easy.

Our customers have rated us four point eight out of five for five years, and that trust matters to us. We focus on quality products, clear communication, and reliable delivery because paddleboarders want gear they can depend on.

Why So Many Paddleboarders Are Making the Switch

A changing robe turns the end of a paddle from a cold rush into a calm moment. You finish warm. You take your time. You enjoy the view a little longer before heading home.

That is why paddleboarders across Cornwall and beyond are switching. It is not about trends. It is about comfort, practicality, and enjoying more days on the water.
