Become a Sponsored SaltBorne Athlete

Join the crew. Rep the lifestyle. Inspire the next wave.

We’re sponsoring entry fees for upcoming tournaments and spotlighting athletes who embody the grind, grit, and saltwater soul our brand was founded on.

    • People who align with our values: sustainability, adventure, and staying salty no matter what.
    • Individuals who want to grow with a brand, share their journey, and inspire a like-minded community.
  • When you join the SaltBorne Athlete Network, you’ll get:

    • Free entry into tournaments
    • Exclusive access to SaltBorne athlete-only gear drops at cost
    • Feature opportunities across our social media and upcoming campaigns
