The Critical Slide Society

About The Critical Slide Society

The Critical Slide Society started on Sydney's Eastern Beaches in Bondi, founded as a creative collective of surfers, artists, photographers, illustrators, musicians and filmmakers united by coastal culture. Rather than chasing competitions and trophies, the label keeps its focus on the simple pleasure of a board and the waves. Everything is designed in its Bondi studio, and the brand has been voted Best Boardshorts three years running. It remains 100% independent and surfer-owned, with a growing push towards sustainability through recycled cotton, nylon and polyester and compostable cornstarch packaging. The flagship store on Bondi Rd doubles as a community hub, serving coffee alongside the latest collections.
