The OverBoard story began in 2006 on the beaches of Thailand and Australia. Founders Dan and Joel, friends since college, recognized the need for functional, waterproof bags that could protect their gear without weighing it down during a six-month adventure vacation.
Even before the vacation tan faded, they began developing their first waterproof prototypes - the perfect Dry Bags that became the centerpiece of the OverBoard line. Due to the enthusiastic response from friends, family and an ever-growing customer base, OverBoard expanded its range to include more colors, sizes and customized waterproof protection options.
