Overboard was born in 2006 on the beaches of Thailand and Australia where Dan and Joel had decided to travel to for six months on the ultimate beach, boat, surf and scuba holiday. Their fight through out the trip to keep their valuables dry was what sparked the idea of the fully functional waterproof bag that could protect their possessions without slowing them down. Overboard are now regarded as World leaders in dry bag/case technology, maintaining a high reputation in the watersports industry.
