The film
Our promise. Our commitment.

One planet. One ocean. One chance.

Our connection with the ocean is special, and it's our responsibility to protect it - from the materials we use to the way we make and ship every product.

Why we care
Made with respect for the ocean.

We're an independent surf brand committed to sustainability - and to making high-quality gear that aligns with your values. As surfers, we have a special connection with the environment, and it's our responsibility to protect it. So we've committed to using sustainable materials and cutting our impact wherever we can, from what goes into the gear to the packaging it ships in.

Made here · waste nothing

Cut, sewn & saved in Ocean Grove.

We cut and sew at our Ocean Grove shop - which means we see every scrap. So nothing hits the bin. Sarah and her team turn the offcuts from our covers straight back into product: surfboard slings, change mats, and wax & fin bags, all sewn by hand right here.

It's the kind of thing only a small, hands-on brand can do - and it's why "sustainable" isn't a sticker for us, it's just how the workroom runs.

Three ways we tread lighter

Made to last. Made from less.

01 - Made to last

Buy once, not every season

Heavy-duty materials, tough hardware and a zipperless closure with nothing to snap. Gear that lasts years instead of months is the single biggest thing we can do for the ocean - so every cover, sling and hat is built to last.

02 - Made from less

Recycled where it counts

Our canvas covers and slings are woven from recycled fibres, and our Ozzie range is made from recycled materials too. Our tees are organic cotton. We only put the recycled label where it's genuinely true.

What each range is actually made of.

Planet-first thinking, told straight. Here's exactly what carries a recycled claim, what's organic, and what simply earns its keep by lasting.

RangeWhat it's made ofThe claim
Canvas Covers
Woven from recycled canvas (rPET) - the original Boardsox surfboard sock that started it all.
Recycled
Zipperless Covers
Recycled fibres with a heavy-duty, zipperless closure - nothing to corrode, nothing to break.
Recycled
Surf Slings
Made from recycled fibres - and often sewn from our own cover offcuts here in Ocean Grove.
Recycled
Ozzie Range Towel Hoodies
The Ozzie Wright "Alien Flower Love" towel hoodies - made from recycled materials, art with a conscience.

Surf Tees
Cut from 100% organic cotton - softer on skin and lighter on the land it's grown on.
Organic cotton
Towel Hoodies
Made entirely from cotton - a soft, absorbent layer to throw on and change under after every surf.

Hoodies
Built heavy to last season after season - a warm layer that goes the distance.

Surf Hats
Engineered for real, all-day sun protection in the water - tough materials built to outlast the seasons.

No greenwashing

Why our clothing & hats aren't "recycled"

It'd be easy to slap a recycled-polyester label on our tees, hoodies and hats - but recycled plastic in clothing has no real end of life. Once it's a garment it can't be meaningfully recycled again, and it sheds microplastics into the wash and the ocean every time you wear it. We'd rather not greenwash. So our tees are organic cotton that can actually break down, and our hoodies and hats are simply built to last for years - recycled where it genuinely helps, and honest everywhere else.
