STAB Article - The Walters Brothers: Ocean & Earth’s Gen Z Gambit
Ocean & Earth has always been about supporting the next generation of surfers, and our latest partnership is a testament to that commitment. Enter the Walter brothers—Dakoda and Harley—two young surfers whose raw talent and progressive approach to surfing make them stand out in today’s lineup. Their passion, skill, and innovative style align perfectly with what Ocean & Earth stands for: pushing boundaries while staying true to the core of surfing. This partnership is especially significant, as it's the first time we've fully sponsored athletes since our CEO, former pro surfer Phil Macdonald, was boasting the O&E nose sticker, marking a return to the kind of rider support that defined his own tenure.
“I’m just stoked to be part of it,” Harley says. “O&E’s always been core. Now they’re trying new shit — movies, music, all of it. It’s a fun time to be involved.”
This collaboration marks more than just a sponsorship; it’s a statement. As an independent, surf-driven brand, by surfers for surfers. Ocean & Earth has always been deeply rooted in core surfing, supporting the riders, culture, and making the best surf accessories on the planet. The Walter brothers share this same connection, growing up immersed in Australia's rich surf heritage and pushing their limits in some of the most respected waves in the world. With their talent and drive, and our legacy of quality gear and innovation, we’re excited to see where this partnership takes us.
And keep your eyes peeled for an upcoming Ocean & Earth movie—it's going to be one you won't want to miss!
