The Father's Day Gift Guide
Whether he's a card-carrying member of the Tired Dads Club or frothing for his next surf, we've got him sorted. Every board arrives fully assembled and ready to ride — with free AU shipping over $180 and Afterpay if you'd rather skate now, pay later.
Which board suits your dad?
The Getting-Back-Into-It Dad
He used to ride, and the kids are on wheels now. A longboard is the easiest way back — long, stable and forgiving, made for smooth cruising without the white-knuckle moments.
The Surfer Dad
When the swell's flat, a surf skate keeps him carving. Specialised surf truck systems let the whole board pump and turn just like a wave — the closest thing to surfing on land.
The Coffee-Run Dad
School drop-offs, coffee runs, quick laps with the kids. A cruiser is compact, nimble and easy to chuck in the car — the everyday board.
The Dad Tees — Official Club Merch
Comfy AS Colour cotton, printed for the dads club. Girl Dads, Tired Dads — there's a club for everyone, and new designs are dropping soon.
Longboards — stability first, always
If it's been a few years (or a few decades), a longboard is the confidence pick. More deck underfoot means easier balance, and the big, soft SHR wheels roll smoothly over rough footpaths — so he can keep up with the kids from day one.
Every deck is pressed from 7 layers of premium Canadian maple & bamboo with tested GCLB aluminium trucks and ABEC-9 bearings — and it arrives fully assembled, ready to ride out of the box.
Surf skates — carve when the surf's flat
Surf skates run specialised surf truck systems that let him pump for speed and lay into carves exactly like riding a wave. Gravity trucks use a matched front and rear set so the whole board turns together — fast, snappy and precise. Velocity trucks pair a spring-loaded, dual-pivot front with a rear that holds like fins — the deepest, surfiest carves in the range. Both are the boards surf coaches use for training — rail-to-rail flow, without waiting on the forecast.
Quick sizing tip: under 6 foot, go the 30". Over 6 foot (or bigger feet), the 32" gives him more deck to work with. Carving performance is identical.
Cruisers — For The Low-Key Legend
Compact, easy to carry and ready for the daily mission. Local artist designs mean he's riding a piece of art.

Father's Day FAQs
When is Father's Day in Australia?
Father's Day falls on the first Sunday of September — this year that's Sunday 6 September 2026.
Will my gift arrive before Father's Day?
Delivery typically takes 2–6 business days to QLD, NSW and VIC, and 3–14 business days to TAS, SA, WA and NT. To be safe, we recommend ordering by Wednesday 26 August for QLD, NSW & VIC, and by Monday 17 August for WA, SA, NT & TAS. Full details on our shipping page.
Which board should I get for a dad who hasn't skated in years?
A longboard — it's the most stable and forgiving board in the range, so he'll feel confident from the first push. If he surfs, a surf skate is the fun pick: it carves like a wave and doubles as surf training. And for quick trips and portability, a cruiser is the everyday choice. Still stuck? Try the 60-second Board Finder quiz.
Do the boards come ready to gift?
Yes — every board arrives fully assembled with trucks, wheels, bearings and grip all fitted and checked. Unbox, wrap, done. He can ride it the same day.
What if he'd prefer a different board?
No stress — we offer a 30-day returns policy for a refund or exchange (unused, in original packaging), and every board is covered by a 12-month manufacturing warranty. See our Returns & Warranty page for details.
Can I use Afterpay?
Absolutely — split the gift into 4 interest-free payments with Afterpay. We also accept all major credit cards and PayPal.
