I think that Ollypop is a great idea. I am a developing surfer and it has definitely helped me practice my pop-ups whilst at home in London. Looks cool on the beach too - keep up the good work!

Hi Ollypop team,
I just wanted to add my glowing recommendation for the ollypop towel to the many already posted! I got mine late last year and it definitely is the kipper's knickers - practical and gives you great pop-up technique!
I had to give a teaching talk and chose an introduction to surfing, had my audience ollypopping..they loved it!
Good luck with all your future ventures, you deserve lots of success!
Janie, v happy customer.
Hi Everyone
I would just like to say thank you for a speedy response to my order and was delighted when I arrived home and opened the parcel.
I have been so excited at the prospect of being able to practice before my first experience of surfing, which is booked for 25th April '08.
Have a great weekend,
Sioux
Hi Olly and company,
Today I received my Ollypop surf towel... thank you sooo much for the stickers, the super DVD and your note! I am very happy and I tried it on the floor of my place.
I live in the middle of Germany - no sea, no waves...only a big river! But next holidays are coming and now I will practice every day...
Thank you again and lots of greetings to Cornwall.
Sabine, Germany
Hi,
Just wanted to thank you for the first class service you have given. The hoody and towel are great. Never did like those dragons!
Thanks again,
Kath, Birmingham
Will probably be back soon to get some Kipper's Knickers clothes.
Thanks again.
This is a brilliant Christmas present for my daughter - a towel, wax, DVD and sticker - can't wait to see her face when I give them to her.
Hi Olly
Thanks for the speedy delivery of the towel which arrived today. What an awesome gift!
Simon, Leicester
I bought an Ollypop towel for my friend who, even after a weeks surfing in Portugal, couldn't get the hang of how to pop up, no matter how long I tried to teach her for just standing on the beach!
Think she's finally getting the hang of it, and I 'borrowed' her towel for the BUSA surf competition in Newquay this year. I did 20 pop ups a night before the competition to remind myself what to do when I wasn't getting battered by a wave, and I got through to the second round of the competition! Result!

Hi Olly,
I think your product is such a great idea. Living in London it is difficult and expensive to get any surfing practice in regularly, but I look forward to practicing my 'pop' in my living room!
Kind regards,
Anna
Hi Ollypop,
I would just like to say I think your product is genius. I bought mine when they first went on sale.
I go surfing only a couple of times a year and the towel is helping me brush up on and perfect my pop ups. And as I swim about 4 times a week, I have a habit of doing them then, as well as getting my mates to have a go too.
Thanks again
Ben
Hi there,
As a novice to this sport, I need all the extra practice I can get, which is where you came in. It's great to be able to repeatedly practice poppping even when the weather isn't good.
Unfortunately I haven't had time to get out on my board this year, but I'm sure with all the extra time practising on my Ollypop surf towel, the next time I do get out, I'll spend more time on the board, rather than in the water......
It's great!
Cheers
Ade
I ordered my towel at 3.30pm on Monday, it arrived by 10.30am on Tuesday. Excellent professional service, thank you.
Adrian
Hi,
Just wanted to let ya's know I got the parcel today. Thank you very much, top quality service, very nice touch covering postage even to Ireland! I know one person will be very happy with my gift this Xmas.
Cheers,
Ros (Dublin)
Hi Olly
I got my towel for my birthday and its real good! So far I've almost mastered the ollypop and hope to be using it properly surfing really soon.
Thanks a bundle, bye!
Luke, Stirling
For what its worth I think the Dragon's were wrong, it's a great product! It will go down really well here, all the kids spend months at the beach and they all like surfing.
Kind regards
Debbie, Gibraltar
I saw your add on the a1surf webpage and bought the towel for my husband for his Christmas present. He absolutely loves it and practices on it a lot! Karen
Hey Olly Just wanted to say a big thanks for the towel - my Dad is practising his pop ups every morning! Hope business is going well man, good to see a local surfer havin' an idea and goin' for it! All the best, Jed, Cornwall
Olly Many thanks for the quick delivery and the fantastic product. The handwritten compliments slip was appreciated – a nice personal touch. Regards David, Rochester
Hi Olly, My girlfriend and I are often on the Eyeball surfcheck site, which is where we saw the ollypop and thought what a great idea it was. Its such a simple and inexpensive training aid, all the family can use. I'm sure I won't be the only one using it!! Best of luck in your new business, Ade, Bristol Hey Mate Hi Olly I saw the ad on Eyeball surfcheck. I live in Braunton near Croyde and it's an ironic present for my brother called Ollie. He used to be a better surfer than me but is now a London weekend surfer! I reckon you would sell a stack down here in the summer! Cheers, Tom, Braunton
Hi I first saw the ollypop in the summer in Polzeath when we were having lessons with Surf's Up! surf school. I thought it would be a great present as we live in London so don't really get much practice! Eleanor, London Hi Olly Hi Olly Olly Hi Thanks for the e-mail, we have received the towels and they are now hidden for Christmas presents for our 2 surf mad sons, 16 and 10 yrs old. I am sure that when their friends see them they will want one for the summer, so I will direct them to your site. I first saw the Ollypop towel in Carve magazine this summer. I have also seen them in Stuff as a recommended buy. Hope it all goes well, Tim, Ilchester
Hello Olly My company is 15 years old this year, finding out where people find us is invaluable. Good luck with developing the brand. I saw the towel in editorial in Boards mag - the Nov/Dec issue I love the humour and the practicality of it....I am a fat old retired (due to kids) windsurfer who can occasionally get up on my 9'6"Bic Longboard (the board is one of the first they produced and the only thing I can get up on these days!). I have been trying to teach my younger fitter brothers to surf on Perranuthnoe Beach, near Penzance, for years....ollypop WILL be the answer. Good luck with it, I look forward to the Ollypops Simon, London
Hi Olly Thanks for the message, the order arrived safe and sound. I linked to your site from MagicSeaweed.com - I thought the site was great and very easy to use and I'm very pleased with what I bought. The Ollypop towel is an xmas pressie for my girlfriend. Pop-a-doodledoo . . .. . .! Peter, Cardiff
Hi Olly I went on a surf holiday with Big Friday and one of the girls there had the towel and referred me to your site. I think Ollypop is great! I love it, I think it would be a good idea if you had different colours or designs! Thank you! Adriane, London
Hi My Son James is a Wavelength subscriber and pointed out these great towels to me on receiving his mag this week. Fantastic product for a mad keen surfer who lives miles away from the sea - with surf! I look forward to seeing James and Ryans face on Christmas morning when they open this parcel. Cheers and good luck. Sue, Wickford
Dear Olly I read about your towels in Surfer Girl magazine a few months ago. They are going to be much fought over Christmas pressies! Thanks Emma, Birmingham
Dear Olly Catherine, Mendlesham
Dear Olly Eileen, Plymouth Hi There was a link to you on 'Eyeball Surfcheck' and I thought what a great idea! Thanks Catherine, Bristol
Hi I heard about you from the Boards magazine and thought it would be perfect for some friends. Thanks a lot. Olly Thanks for the towels. They will make excellent Christmas presents for my sister and niece, although with the way I surf, I might have to borrow a towel at every opportunity! I heard about your product in Stuff magazine, and thought it was a simple yet great idea, which I'm sure you will do very well with. I'm always looking for similar ideas myself. Well done! Regards James, Fleet
Dear Olly Andy, Boscastle
Hi I heard about you from A1 surf buddy. Hello Olly Thanks for your fast response. I heard about your product from my brother in law, who has found the towel very helpful. Thanks again. Sam, Taunton
Hi Thought the towel would be both practical and fun as stocking filler! My husband will love it. By the way I thought the hand written note was a lovely personal touch, but I bet you will get fed up or not have the time to do this once your business really takes off as I’m sure it will! Here’s wishing you every success. Peace and love! Lindsey, Lincoln
Dear Olly Hi Olly I've received the towel and passed it on as a present to a very surprised and happy person!! Thanks again Hey there Olly I saw Ollypops mentioned in SurfGirl Magazine and just had to have one, as did my boyf! Thank you Jennifer, London
Dear Olly Thanks for sending out the order so quickly and the accompanying note that came with it. Nice touch. We heard of Ollypop by taking a surfing course with surfsup-surf school in Polzeath. And I think you can thank one of the instructors "ALEX" for the quick minded marketing. When talking about it at the end of the course I asked whether it would help to practise the popping on dry land during wintertime to learn the movement and to stay supple. So he just said:" Yeah, funny you should ask that; I also have the right training tool here"; and produced your flier. He also left some at the surf lodge. Not sure, whether this will help you. But I am sure we gonna have some fun on it. Kindest regards and thanks very much. Dagmar, Wantage
Hi Olly Hi - there was a link to it on 'Eyeball Surfcheck' and thought what a great idea! Thanks Catherine, Bristol
Hi Olly We saw the write up in the ‘surfgirl’ mag that was in issue 84 of the ‘carve’, my husband surfs and has been desperately trying to teach me, with limited success! We saw the towel and thought it was great as we can’t surf all the time and it’s good practice at home - saves putting tape on the floor in the lounge! Cheers for your quick response Sonya
Just wanted to drop you a line to say how amazing and brill the towel is!! Such a great idea, I learnt to surf this summer and now I’m hooked, I saw your product in Surfgirl (was free in another mag!) had to read thru it to see the hotties!! When I saw the towel I thought what a great idea!
All the best, have fun in the surf.
Guy, Tewkesbury
I clicked onto your link on the eyeball surf web page - although I nearly
bought one after seeing it in surf girl magazine a few months ago - what an
awesome idea!
Nicky, Taunton
I caught a glimpse of your product on the BSA website, I think or it might be A1 or Magicseaweed, can't remember. Put the order in last night after googling you. Thought it was the ideal present for one of my female surfing friends, as she really struggles with pop ups and never gets around to practising them out of the water! Hopefully this will make her get on with it.
Hope this helps
Emily, Par
Thanks for the towel, it arrived safely today and will be a great Christmas
present for my novice-surfer brother!
I read about the Ollypop in a wind surfing magazine my boyfriend's sister
had when we went to visit them in Spain.
Hope that helps? Whatever you're doing, keep doing it!!!
Thanks again.
Saw the article in the Western Morning News. Thought it would be great for
my son who is learning to surf but now lives in London - he can dream of
Cornwall while he is practising!!
Regards
Anna, Northampton
I first heard of your towel on (I think) TV . However I did not make a note
at the time which I regretted!
The reason I am writing this is because there is a problem with your
marketing, knowing you were a local I have tried dozens of surf shops trying
to find the towels for Xmas presents for my grandchildren who only have a
few lessons every year (Aahh) and who will love them.
Please rush round the beach shops now as all parents and grand parents want a present for the kids to open as well as the must have cash.
I was tempted to rush in brandishing a towel toreador style, but thought
Granny might not be the image you want to propagate!
Good luck,and many thanks for the prompt reply and sales follow up .
Excellent gift for a girlfriend recovering from a broken leg!
Cheers
Joe, St.Day
Thanks for that, am looking forward to practising my pop-ups, as I am quite a way from the sea, when I next get in the water should see a great improvement.
I saw the Ollypop in this months Carve magazine, but am sure that I saw it previously on the A1 web site.
Good luck with the business.
Kind Regards
Sue, Orpington
Sandra, Ireland
Thanks for the email - look forward to receiving the towels for a spot of
practice!
For your info, I saw the write up in Surf Girl magazine (Issue 12).
Good luck with the business, & I'll keep my eye out for any new products!
Cheers,
Celene, Barnet
