Our Story
It all began back in 2006 on the Phi-Phi islands in Thailand. Friends since university, Dan and Joel, decided to travel for six months on an epic beach, boat, surf and diving holiday. For weeks they fought to keep their iPods, phones, cash, passports and important stuff dry. And that’s when it struck them; what they needed was a functional waterproof bag that could protect their things without slowing them down.
Back home, even before the tans had faded, they were researching, designing and producing their first waterproof prototypes – the perfect dry bags and their first OverBoard products.
The response from friends, family and a growing band of customers was extraordinary so the range just had to grow. More colours, sizes and individual water-tight protection followed, defending everything from phones and iPads to emergency supplies from water, snow, dirt and sand.
Fast forward to today, we are the leaders in waterproof bags and cases with customers and distributors in over 70 countries across the globe. Sure, it’s been hard work – but there are perks, not only do we lab test everything, products like ours need to face real life situations, ideally with the sun beating down, and somebody has to do it.
Wherever you go, whatever you do, there’s an OverBoard 100% waterproof product for you.
