By Chris StubbsThe Rooster Shoreline Waterproof Jacket is Roosters entry-level, versatile waterproof shell designed as a dependable outer layer for outdoor enthusiasts. Rooster is renowned for technical watersports apparel; this jacket strikes a balance between functionality, comfort, and everyday practicality without targeting the advanced technical performance demanded by specialist watersports.The Shoreline Jacket is crafted from ripstop nylon, which combines durable, tear-resistant construction with effective waterproofing through fully taped seams. This neat design ensures the jacket can withstand abrasions from rigging and hardware while keeping rain and wind out. Its interior includes a loose lining that promotes breathability, helping to manage moisture and keep you comfortable during activity. While it lacks the advanced moisture-wicking technology found in high-end 3-layer jackets, it delivers reliable protection and comfort for versatile, everyday use in coastal environments.The main front zipper features a waterproof reverse-coil design, enhancing water protection. A soft zipper guard at the top prevents irritation and enhances neck comfort. The hood, with secure adjustments and a semi-rigid peak, keeps out wind and rain without obstructing peripheral vision.The jacket features two zipped hand pockets and one internal pocket for safely storing essentials. Adjustable hook-and-loop cuffs and a drawcord hem enable precise fit and effective sealing against draughts and spray. The scooped rear hem adds coverage and protection, especially when bending or crouching a thoughtful detail that increases comfort during activity.A loop at the back makes drying and storage after a wet day on the water easier. While simple, these design decisions collectively reflect attention to detail and user convenience typical of a more functional, everyday type of jacket.The Shoreline has a relaxed, generous cut for layering. It is good for cooler weather when worn over fleeces or mid-layers. Rooster also offers womens-specific fits, expanding sizing options. Durability is moderate, given the 10K/10K rating; it performs well for coastal walking or general outdoor use.ConclusionPriced in the mid-range for waterproof shells, the Shoreline Jacket delivers reliable waterproofing, a thoughtful feature set, and everyday versatility offering the same practical protection and functional features at a more competitive price. It excels as an all-rounder something you can rely upon for working on and around the water, coastal walking, or simply commuting in wet weather.In summary, the Rooster Shoreline Waterproof Jacket delivers strong value through excellent waterproof protection and everyday utility across various outdoor and watersport settings, and is ideal for paddlers and general users seeking performance, reliability, and affordability all in one jacket.Price: 130.00Features:Waterproof reverse coil main front zipper.Fully taped.Free flowing lining to aid in breathability.External hang loop at back to aid in easy drying.Secure hood fitting with adjustment at back and semi structured peak.Two hand pockets with zipper closure.Soft zipper cover at top of neck.Internal pocket.Adjustable cuffs with hook and loop closure.Adjustable drawcord around bottom of jacket.Scooped hem shape at back for more coverage.10K/10K waterproof/breathability rating.Materials:Outer shell: 100% Ripstop Nylon.Inner lining: Nylon Taffata.www.roostersailing.com

SUP and skate for mental healthBy Jo Moseley @jomoseleyWhen I heard about Becky Gilmours skateboard and SUP fundraising adventure, I was eager to find out more for you, too.Becky, 26, is a mural artist, originally from Limerick and has always had a big heart for adventure and mental health advocacy.In summer 2025, she set out to skateboard Irelands Wild Atlantic Way, over 2600 km, fundraising for the charity Samaritans and raising awareness of suicide, after losing a dear friend. They used to skate together by the sea in Portrush, and being near the ocean always helped her feel close to him.As an artist, Becky has often painted murals to fund her travels. For the challenge, she created murals related to mental health awareness. Opening up conversations, creating safe spaces to talk, and inspiring hope were an essential part of her Wild Atlantic Way.Planning her route, Becky realised there were approximately 30 islands she needed to reach along the journey. At first, she took the ferry to the islands, but then began paddleboarding to them with a friend, Adam Griffin, who had previously owned a paddle school. Their total so far is 14 islands, and they intend to return to paddle more. Their journeys included significant bodies of water, for example, to all three Aran Islands, Clew Bay, the Shannon Estuary, and Innisbiggle, known for some of the most powerful currents in Europe. Becky stresses she would not recommend anyone try these routes without expert advice.Becky chose SUP as she had broken her coccyx and couldnt kayak for long. She enjoyed being able to sit, stand, and move about on her board whilst carrying her skateboard, even over longer distances. Her favourite section was on the way to Aran Island, where they saw beautiful scenery, rainbows and dolphins.Being on the water, rather than the skateboard, was fantastic, she said. It was great to feel light and to float rather than feel pulled down by gear and pushing on rough concrete.There were days the ocean felt like silk and others with huge swell and winds. Adams experience and knowledge of the water kept them prepared, well-equipped and safe. Becky hadnt paddled much before the trip, and Adams support and guidance were crucial. Learning to adapt and push through different environments was an incredible challenge for her and gave Becky a great appreciation for the ocean and weather conditions. On a skateboard, when she gets tired, she can just stop and take a rest. In challenging conditions on the water, that wasnt possible she had to keep going!From a personal perspective, the trip was a way to process her grief and loss, and she describes it as incredibly healing. As someone who has been diagnosed with over five mental illnesses in her past, experienced a significant amount of trauma and lost all hope for recovery, Becky hopes people will see that there is a life after trauma and mental illness.She wanted to show that it is still possible to live a full and powerful life even after hitting rock bottom. She also hopes that it will encourage others to keep going when life is difficult and to find their own adventure, one that brings them purpose and fulfilment.Becky told me, It is quite surreal that the trip is over, but adventure has always been a big part of my life, and in some ways, I feel Im just getting started now. Theres so much that Im excited for in the future, and Im pushing myself and learning new skills. So, as sad as I am that this trip has come to a close, Im looking forward to now having the time to plan something new. What an extraordinary SUP story. Congratulations Becky!To find out more, follow Becky on Instagram @beckygilmour_Hello, my name is Jo Moseley, and I am the bestselling author of three books about paddleboarding.Two are guidebooks Stand Up Paddleboarding in Great Britain Beautiful Places to Paddleboard in England, Scotland and Wales and Stand Up Paddleboarding in the Lake District Beautiful Places to Paddleboard in Cumbria.

My latest book is Adventures on the Water The Power of Paddleboarding to Change Lives a collection of 27 inspiring personal essays from incredible paddleboarders on how SUP has enhanced their lives. I am also the host of The Joy of SUP The Paddleboarding Sunshine Podcast.In this column I share inspiring stories of environmental projects, mental wellbeing initiatives and how we can make SUP more accessible.
