“We just thought there was no really exciting board covers on market, a lot of the board covers are so boring,” he told news.com.au.
“We’ve had quite a few of those board covers and they’re that polyester weave soft material and we would end up breaking them pretty quickly just because of the nature of using them, throwing in the back of the cars or catching on a another board or a piece of your car and they would rip or fray.
Which is why Boardsox decided to move towards an even more sustainable option, by making their covers out of recycled plastic bottles. There is a small team that cuts and sews the covers to size for different board shapes, with the offcuts then made into a different product, such as a surfboard carry sling, beach bag or changing mat.
One of Dan and Sarah’s major dreams for the company is to see it become the biggest manufacturer of bags for all kinds of sports, such as surf, snow, water and skateboarding. “A lot of big companies own a lot of the stores and shops and already have pre existing agreements with stores, so it’s hard to find your little mark in there,” he said.
