Boardsox® Official

The Khaki Boardsox hat is one of our community’s favorites. The Australian sun is gnarly here are some facts that might suprise you! 👇️ 1) 2 in 3 Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer by age 70. 2) Skin cancer is the most common cancer in Australia. 3) Around 2,000 Australians die from skin cancer every year. 4) Australia has one of the highest melanoma rates globally. Hat up this summer whether beach days or long day in the surf 🤠🌞

2025 has been our biggest year yet. We’re incredibly grateful for the support of our community — running a small Australian business in the surf industry isn’t always an easy ride. That’s why we appreciate the small wins, and every single person who supports our family business by choosing Boardsox. ❤️🤝 We like to do things a little differently — from making many of our products in-house here in Ocean Grove, to the materials we use and the designs we dream up (like our new zipperless cover). This year also saw Boardsox continue to grow in the USA and take its first steps into Japan (@boardsox.jp )which still blows our minds. 🌏 None of this happens without our team riders and wider community — the crew who test gear, create, travel, surf, and bring the brand to life. In 2026, we’re doubling down on that: more trips, more collabs, more stories, and more time in the water together. 2026 = bigger ideas, bigger projects, and plenty more to come! Let’s go Dan, Sarah and the Boardsox Team 🫶

Boardsox the Zipperless Cover - Why we ditched zips?⁠ 👉️Eliminated the most common failure point⁠ 👉️Increased durability and lifespan⁠ 👉️Reduced corrosion from salt + sand⁠ 👉️Created a cleaner, simpler design⁠ ⁠ Built something you can actually travel with long-term⁠ ⁠ No gimmicks.⁠ Just fewer things to break.

What surfer hasn’t had a board bag zip give out on them? All over one small component. Whole bag in landfill, pretty ridiculous.That’s exactly why we built our zipperless travel covers. 🤐

Longboards. Foamies. SUPs. Heavy, awkward, and always a mission to the beach. Our carry slings make it easier and if you’re trekking into a remote break with multiple boards, you’ll thank us later . Made from offcut Boardsox cover material by our hard working team at @boardsox_surfshop

Started in a shed in Torquay. Now shipping worldwide. Here’s the 9-year ride. 2017–2018: Dan and Sarah, two siblings from Victoria see there’s no creative, innovative surfboard sock on the market and start making their own out of Sarah’s shed in Torquay. After a lot of sample development and testing, they launch their first designs. 2018: Dan sets off travelling for the year with two of his best mates (mostly for “R&D” 😏) journeying through Sri Lanka, France, Spain, Portugal and Morocco to test Boardsox covers in as many conditions as possible. 2019: Travel to Indo with our friends from @goodgrief and shoot an epic promo video for the website! 2020: Drop funky towel hoodies and surf hats, early to the game, little did we know how many would follow. 2021: Launched travel covers and collaborated with incredible artists like @saltwaterdreamtime and @ozzywrong . Kicked off our artist + charity series. 2022: Spotted a gap in the market for longboard carry slings, bloody hard to carry and no one was making cool ones. Proudly made right here in Australia. 2023: Big year. Moved into our first warehouse in Torquay and ran a Birchal capital raise, bringing on investors and raising over $250,000. 2024: Launched our Zipperless Cover in collaboration with Aussie product designer Liam Gibson, plus our Sand Mate change mats for getting out of your wetty. 2025: Moved into our new Warehouse HQ in Ocean Grove, becoming an epicentre for our Victorian community. Sharing it with our mate Simon from @4dsurfboards . 2026: New hat collection, new covers incoming, an epic content trip to Indo under the belt, and another crack at the USA this summer on the cards. Proud to be Australian-run and family owned. Most of our products are designed by Sarah and made by Sarah, Tania and our Mum Jenn, keeping it local and always trying to push what’s possible.🦘 Drop a ❤️ if you’ve been riding with us from the early days of tell us what you want to see next 👇
