TIDE

Boards, wax and gear built by people who check the swell before their email. Shaped in small runs, tested at first light, guaranteed against everything except a flat spell.

Every board earns its wax.

Each shape leaves our bay only after a full season under the feet of the crew who designed it. If it doesn't paddle fast, hold a rail and turn on a dime, it goes back to the planer, not to the shop floor.

We test at the ugly hour.

Dawn patrol is R&D. Choppy, cold, half-lit water shows you what a board really is. Our prototype log runs to four hundred sessions a year, and every note ends up in the next run.

The deep keeps the score.

Two percent of every sale funds reef restoration on the Carolina coast, and our cleanup crew has pulled over twelve tonnes of plastic from the breaks we surf. The ocean is our only stakeholder with no voice, so we speak first.

Why we glass heavier than everyone else

Six ounces on the deck costs us margin and buys you four extra seasons. The math is easy.

Hurricane swell etiquette, from the locals

The unwritten rules for the best, most dangerous week of the year.

Leave the break better than you found it.

Every Tide order ships plastic-free, funds the reef, and includes a cleanup kit. Bring back a full bag from any break and your next bar of wax is on us.
