Sick Dog Surf Shop
Hoodies – T-shirts – Caps – Stuff
MEMORIES
We do not sell things on board (well, we do) – but we want to spread the good vibe that we have on our yacht during our Kite Safaris, and a shirt and a hoodie is a good way to remember a memorable trip.
HOW TO BUY
You need to be on the yacht with us – any time you can ask and get your gear to be fancy and good looking on and off the water. If you go back home and you realize that you really wanted one of our stuff, just text me – shipping from egypt is a problem, but as soon as I get back to Italy I will send you your gear.
WHAT WE HAVE
T-shirts: 20€
Hoodies: 40€
Lycras: 30€
Caps: 15€
If you have any fun idea for a shirt or a hoodie, I may make it!
SUSTAINABLE SINCE DAY ONE
Here at Sick Dog we use organic raw cotton from India and Egypt and recycled polyester, together with a sustainable material like Modal. Every step of making our things is planned and carefully and personally followed, and we built unique relationships with our local artisans that make our Sick Dog Stuff happens!
Cause we care about the environment and our people we want to make something we want and are proud to wear.
MASS PRODUCTION? NO THANK YOU
Every shirt, hoodie or sweater is carefully thought and designed. We do everything slowly and we personally organize every details of our stuff.
FROM KITERS TO KITERS
Cause we are kitesurfers, that’s where it started, we wanted to have nice kite shirts to wear after a session or in actually any occasion. I personally wanted something new and unique, so I decided to make it myself, and here we are!
OUR ITALIAN JOB
Our storage is in Italy, where we do most of our printing jobs, and we will ship worldwide from there. We have a second storage in Egypt, for all our guests that want to look cool when they come on our kite cruises.
THE INSPIRATION
“Create your own visual style, let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others.”
Inspired by this quote by Orson Welles, this is the Sick Dog Surf philosophy – we hand made everything we do in our artesan shop, everything is unique, we do not mass produce in China, and every (awesome) object we make is one of a kind.
We aim to be the first brand to produce t-shirts just for kitesurfers, with designs and themes inspired by the sport we all love. Our shirts are designed in Italy while hand made and tailored in Egypt.
WHO WE ARE
Sick Dog Surf was established in 2014. We were a small and passionate team, kitesurfing most days, just waiting for the wind to pick up or for the drinks to be cold (if there is no wind). The idea was to do something with the sport we loved. I started in 2014 with Gaz and Fawzy, but soon went solo and started working on it more seriously.
Do you want to know the story behind Sick Dog? I had a friend, named Steve, a reserved but funny guy, he didn’t hang out too much with us but you could see him on the beach almost every day. We decided one night to have a party in our kite house, and I invited Steve, pretty sure he would turn down the invitation. To my surprise, he said he would come. The party was going fine, but no sign of Steve, till later in the evening when I got a message from him: “Sorry man, my dog is sick and I need to stay home and take care of him”. From that day, every time I didn’t feel like doing something, all I had to say is that my dog was sick (I didn’t have a dog at that time). And after a few years, we turned that joke in a kite brand!
Sometimes I wonder where is Steve now, and if he is aware of how much his short text message has influenced my life.
