Our Story:

Born from the Water

Founded in 2019 by Ben, a lifelong waterman with extensive experience in sailing, windsurfing, and Stand Up Paddleboarding, Drift Boardsports began with a simple but powerful vision: to bring the transformative power of watersports to everyone. Ben’s dedication to sharing knowledge and sparking excitement remains at the heart of all we do - from the gear we select to the events we host.
