A Sincere Apology From Lomo Watersport
We would like to formally apologise to the people of Glasgow, Scotland, and the wider UK outdoor community.
It has come to our attention that despite being in continuous operation and having our showroom right here in Glasgow for 20 years, we are still a brand-new, jaw-dropping discovery to roughly three people a day.
Every single week, without fail, a lovely customer pushes open the door of our Glasgow shop, looks around at our mountain of wetsuits, dry bags, and watersports kit, rubs their eyes in utter disbelief, and utters the immortal phrase:
“Listen… I honestly had no idea you guys were here! How long have you been open?”
And every week, with a warm smile and only a tiny, harmless eye twitch, we reply: “Oh, just about 20 years.”
