Sustainability

We didn't want to make a product that will end up in landfill or clogging up the oceans.  

As surfers we have an intimate open relationship with nature, a desire to understand wind, waves, tides, weather systems, bathymetry and a sometimes too physical understanding of reefs. We know better than most the changes man-made and natural that happen day to day, year to year, and decade to decade across our local breaks, our reefs and our favourite surf destinations. 

Shacked approaches sustainability in three ways. 

Quality in Production: 

Durability and sustainability go hand in hand. At Shacked Surf Ponchos we strive to make high quality products that lasts. Anyone who has felt a Shacked Surf Poncho can attest to the quality of the ponchos we produce and we expect our products to last for many years of heavy use. As part of our durability promise we offer free stitch repair on all our Ponchos. Just get in contact and we'll send you a returns label. 

Sustainable Recycling: 

Send your Shacked Surf Poncho back to us and we will sustainably recycle it and send you a $20 off voucher for your next Shacked Surf Poncho. We don't want any of our Ponchos to end up in landfill so we will recycle your worn surf poncho for you, sustainably. 

Sustainable Materials: 

All our Shacked Surf Ponchos are made from 80% or more high gsm cotton, a sustainable material. High gsm cotton is hard wearing, long lasting and has less impact on the environment in farming and production than synthetic materials. It is also easier to recycle and biodegradable over time.
