Our Story
Flexi-Hex® began with solving a problem. We were surfers looking for a way to transport our boards without using plastic, and without running the risk of damaging them. But we were also product designers and problem solvers. The scene was set to create our first product – a surfboard sleeve that fit like a wetsuit, used zero plastic and protected both our boards and the planet.
As a coastal business, protecting the planet’s marine environment will always be at the heart of our mission. By creating a paper product that’s recyclable, biodegradable and natural, we’re helping to prevent plastic waste from ending up in our seas. It’s something we see the impact of every day. Our love of the sea runs deep through our team. It’s why we take care in everything we do, from the way we run our business to the way our product is made.
