SURF CLUBS

Deck out your club from Nippers to Boaties and Surf Sports to Age Managers

This paired with our full suite of custom garments from swimwear, polos, hooded towels, board shorts, long line jackets, custom tees and hats, we offer a full service of merchandise and apparel.

  2. Design: Browse our Express service for a style that suits, or check out our pre-templated designs for custom sublimated options.
  3. Logo: Send your logo through in a Vector format

Frequently asked questions

What are your lead times?

Lead times vary from 2 weeks to 8 weeks. 

All custom made sublimated garments take 6-8 weeks to manufacture. NOTE: This does not include design time. 

Our express service offers a quick turnaround for off the shelf apparel. This is a 1-2 week lead time (subject to availability)

All our lead times are quoted from payment and production order signed off. 

Why does it take 6-8 weeks for custom made gear? 

When we make custom sublimated garments for you we are literally starting from a roll of white fabric. We print, cut and sew each garment to order with a capacity for over 10,000 pieces a day. Quality control is so important to us, and every detail of your garment is carefully considered.

Every seam features a specific style of stitch to best support that particular seam, using colour matched cottons to ensure that you don't even notice it. 

We will always strive to deliver ahead of schedule for you, but we will never under quote time frames as we know how important it is that you receive your gear on time, every time. 

I have an event/specific date I need something for, can you still help me?

No worries, but please ensure you let us know time frames so we can work towards that time frame from day 1. We can express items but there is an express fee, but we mostly prefer to push early to ensure we hit your delivery date. If you let us know  up front, we will let you know if we think it is possible. 

What are your minimum orders?

Different styles attract different minimum order quantities. We do our best to provide the lowest minimums possible to allow every club or team to have access to great uniforms and merch. We have some items that have a minimum of 1 unit, others that start as low as 2 unit minimum. Many items attract a better price at 10 unit minimum or 20 unit minimum. 

Breakdown of Minimums below. We have no maximums, but prices get better at 2, 10, 20, 50, 100, 250, 500,1000.

Swimwear - MOQ 2 units

Do you have a size guide?

Not sure what size you are? Here is a helpful size chart for you. All measurements are in centimetres (cm) unless specified. All sizes are based on Australian sizing. Below is a helpful US and UK sizing conversion.

A few notes on sizing. The items are all performance sports wear and designed to fit specific to the discipline it is intended for. When trying on the items, mimic the body position that the garment will be used for (i.e. mimic the cycling position for cycle items). Garments will "break-in" after a few rides and washes, conforming to the shape of the athlete. The best fitting item for the sport, may not feel perfect standing in front of the mirror.

Please note that Wrong Size or Wrong Fit is considered a Change of Mind reason for returns. On custom manufactured items (Custom or Club purchases), we can not facilitate a Change of Mind as a reason for a Return, Exchange or Refund.

Can you please tell me more about your pricing?

Prices for our garments vary depending on a number of factors but the biggest factor is quantity ordered. The more that are ordered, the better pricing we can offer. The other main impacts on price are, use of fluro colours, requiring express delivery (under 6 weeks) and level of performance/tech you're looking at. 

On our products we have advertised most common quantity price and this MOQ will be noted on the product. Please keep in mind that prices are much more expensive the fewer items you get. 

Best to get in touch to request a price list for our pricing or provide a design brief so we can accurately price. 

A couple of things that are a certainty: 

  • Set up fees - usually $120+gst 
  • Logo re-draw fees - if you cannot provide a vector format logo it is $60+gst to re-draw 
  • Delivery fees - these depend on where you are and how big the box is we're shipping to you. We use Australia Post and Startrack as the most cost effective and fast options. We will quote delivery charges with your order but keep in mind $20-50 per box depending on your location.
