Originally launched in 2017 with surf gear, the popular outdoor gear platform was created as an alternative for traveling surfers who didn’t want to lug heavy surfboard bags or risk their boards being damaged in transit. Rather, travelers can reserve top-quality boards and other gear from the Awayco site and pick it up from an approved specialty retailer. All paperwork is done beforehand online, so all you do is grab your gear and you’re on your way.
Browse all of their offerings right from your phone.

Premium gear will be anxiously awaiting you at your destination.
