About Salty Crew
Salty Crew is a movement. A movement back to the beach and the ocean. As our society runs a hundred miles an hour, Salty Crew is a reminder to slow things down and get back to a place where time stops. Cares and responsibilities are lost at sea. Our saltwater fishing guides are not only some of the best, but the most stoked and thrill-seeking Adventurers out there. Whether it's deep dropping for halibut, ling cod and king salmon in Alaska, hunting tailing redfish on the coast of Florida, sounding up marlin in Los Cabos or free casting to yellowtail and tuna off of Southern California, the Salty Crew knows where the fish are and when. You say surfing is the experience you're looking for? Look no farther. The Salty Crew surf team is lead by none other than CJ and brother Damien Hobgood, two legends in the sport who have combined for a World Championship, a Rookie of the Year, countless event titles and some of the most progressive surf video sections of all time. They are watermen with nothing to prove anymore, and still go out and prove it every day. We are a surfing, fishing, diving, sailing adventure apparel brand, with purpose-built product for surfing culture, for the risk taking, mistake making, the seafaring and the wax sharing, for the participation of those who choose to stay Salty. As we always say ... "Find Refuge in the Sea”.
