Hi from Summer vibes
A warm welcome to all our amazing friends, customers and subscribers.
Meet the Team
The local Summer vibes (formerly BRAVOsurf) crew is led by me — Chris, or “Branchy,” as most people know me.
I’ve spent over 20 years working across the surf hardware world with brands like Quiksilver, Billabong, Von Zipper and Roxy. From product design and marketing to global team management, I’ve been lucky to learn from the best in the industry.
After the pandemic, I teamed up with friends Belly and Matteo at BELL Surf in France and took over local ownership of the surf, skate and hardware licenses for the Boardriders group — a journey that began in 2021 and wrapped up in late 2024.
That chapter inspired the next one — creating my own brand. That’s how Summer vibes was born.
I’m a lifelong surfer, and I personally run every part of the business — from product design and warehouse packing to customer service and marketing. Every board, leash and accessory you see is made with care, experience, and genuine stoke.
Whether you’re chasing your first wave, kitting out the family, or upgrading your surf setup, I’m here to help you enjoy the ride — Aussie-style.
Thanks for being here — I’m stoked to share the journey with you.
Cheers,
Branchy
