How Salty Surf Housings Was Born

The beginning of a passion

I first picked up a camera at the age of 13, and my passion for photography has grown ever since. I built my first ever camera housings at 14 years of age with the help of my father, fashioning it from plumbing supplies collected from the local hardware store. Whilst it kept my prized Sony camcorder dry, it was far from a specialised, professional housings.

Years of learning and experimentation

Over the next 13 years of shooting I tried various housings on the market, with varying experiences but always believed there was room for improvement.

The gap in the market

I noticed other housings manufacturers were struggling to keep up with the latest camera technology, often slow to release housings for new cameras. In particular, the recent push towards mirrorless technology. Being a photographer and a gear-nerd, I understand the need to be shooting with the latest gear, and the frustration of waiting for the housings to be developed in order to take cameras into the water.

Engineering meets experience

After attaining an engineering degree and acquiring years of surf photography experience, the drive to develop my own camera housings took hold.

From idea to innovation

Spending months researching different manufacturing techniques and carefully considering suitable materials and parts, I was able to create a design that fulfils my vision of what a camera housings should be.
