Founding Story
Shorebird's story started with a love for design and a passion for the outdoors. Our founder's background was working in luxury hotels and when travel came to a halt in 2020, more time was spent outside. We became frustrated with the quality, functionality, and material choice of beach & outdoor products on the market. We had this realization that despite all of the time, capital, and efforts to clean up our oceans and shores, nearly all of the products we bring to the beach are made with materials we were trying to get away from. When we found out a better alternative didn't exist, we set out to create one.
Hundreds of initial prototypes were built in our backyard, and then we ultimately teamed up with some of the best product designers in the world to bring Shorebird's vision to life. 2+ years, and 277 prototype revisions later, Shorebird is here.
