GB COLLABS

Art has always been an integral part of Gliding Barnacles. We see GB as a space for creative energy that results from the sharing of waves and experiences, and we have always wanted to extend this experience beyond the 5 days of the event. Now, we’ve finally broaden it beyond the borders of space and time, turning it into something palpable and wearable.

We partnered with three national artists and longtime friends to bring you a timeless exclusive collection. Limited edition – grab yours while you can.
