Build Your Own Bag
Travel Sized
Set it & Get It
Our Encinitas concept shop is pretty much a museum of "one of a kind" Sun Bum items. From the one and only SB bowling ball to the SB toaster, from Lisa's hand-dyed bags to Surfy Birdy's prints, we're always trying to bring in and create stuff we LOVE.
So naturally for "Plastic Free July", we wanted to try and get Julie Ellis to make one of her awesome Rais Case bags for us.
Julie makes the most insane handbags out of reusable plastic waste. They're amazing. And when she came over, she not only made us custom bags but showed Lisa how easy it is.
A little raw plastic waste + ironing and you've got a zipper bag made out of recycled plastic waste.
Big love to you, Julie!
XO,

She’s only 14, but none of this is new to her. Not collecting medals. Not making grown-ass pro athletes jealous. Not the “did you see that?!” surprised faces in the crowd at global competitions like the 2019 USASA national championships in Colorado and last year’s Stab High Japan.
It started with lost bags and apparently the worst conditions in years, but we find Side Hits galore, some fun country hits, and find our rhythm with Parker Szumowski and Arthur Longo leading the charge. Dark, snow-ridden storm clouds are gathering over the steppes of Uzbekistan, and we are very much ready and waiting for it.
Navigating tropical surf trips in 2025 isn’t the easiest of affairs. It turns out that surfers really are everywhere. The search for tropical isolation is eternal.
Take a trip through the sunshine mind-state of legendary surf artist, Andy Davis.
