Before apparel, Afterglow started with surfboards. Hand-shaped boards built in a garage — limited space, early mornings, foam dust everywhere. Shaping teaches discipline. It forces you to slow down, make deliberate choices, and accept that every cut matters.
This mindset defines Afterglow.
Australia’s largest surf community doesn’t live at the beach – it lives in cities. We exist for the city surfers. Those who work all week, and surf every weekend. The early risers who make the long drive to the coast, and return to the city carrying that feeling with them.
Our apparel is crafted with those values in mind: honesty over hype, intention over trend. Pieces that move with you from the city to the coast, and back again.
Surf Forecasting, Built for City Surfers
To support the community, we’ve developed Surf Daddy, a personalised surf forecast app, designed specifically for city-based surfers.
The Afterglow surf app helps our community:
- Plan surf trips around work and travel time
- Get tailored recommendations based on skill and location
- Make better decisions, earlier in the week
This tool is evolving alongside the brand — shaped by the people who use it.
It’s not about chasing every wave.
It’s about making the ones you get count.
