About us
Forget the stress, the pressure, and the idea of “perfect surf” — at Pickled, it’s all about attitude and a big smile. We’ve created a space where everyone is welcome to be authentic, share stories, and, of course, get “pickled” — whether it’s saltwater or good old-fashioned fun.
So come surf with us, have a good laugh and keep this salty community flowing!
Our History
The story of Pickled is a tale of cosmic connections, spontaneous genius, and a healthy dose of salt water.
It all started when Rod “The Mustache”, the famous finless slider and also the undisputed master of the biggest smile on the outside, met Chris Garrett, a man whose brain is basically a mix of surfing genius and creative wizardry.
After catching a few waves and swapping stories, the two realized they were destined to create something unique — and Pickled was born.
Rod, a man of many talents and unafraid to live the freedom without fins, decided to turn Chris’s boards into something even bigger. A brand, a movement, a salty community full of smiles. That’s when he brought Pickled to life, a vibe that celebrates the pure joy of surfing, creating, and being yourself—no matter what the outside looks like.
And what would a crew be without its mystical members?
That’s where Lu, our Marketing Fairy, comes in. She’s the one who brings the magic, turning your wildest surfing dreams into reality and sprinkling her fairy dust on everything to make it shine—from epic Instagram moments to unforgettable campaigns.
Next up is Jah, our Creative Mermaid and Color Master, who has the uncanny ability to know which hues will make you feel like you’re riding the perfect wave. She’s the brains behind our designs, mixing colors and hues that make each piece as vibrant and alive as the ocean itself.
