Thanks for Supporting the Launch of Instinct

We launched Instinct almost two years ago. The theory behind the soft online launch was to test the water and consumer demand for the Instinct Brand.
In September this year, Instinct will be back via exclusive retail partners globally.

Our New Collection

Featuring a good balance of heritage products, new on-trend styles and prints and an 80s colour palette with brights and pastels. Available through your favourite Surf store in late August 2023.

 

Shifting our Footprint 

All the products we are building moving forward are made from 100% recycled or up cycled materials, printed with earth-friendly inks and delivered to you in bio-degradable packaging.

Instinct is doing its bit as a brand to reduce our global footprint and emissions where possible, our promise to you and the planet.

Youth Empowerment

Youth Empowerment is very close to the heart of founder and brand owner Shaun Tomson. We are aligning the brand with several youth empowerment charities, and a percentage of sales will be given to these NFPs.

Heritage

The image below was taken from Intinct's first-ever photoshoot in 1979. The marketing campaign was titled 'Bringing back the good times' and featured team riders L-R Michael Ginsburg, Robert McWade, Shaun Tomson, George Thomopoulos, Errol Hickman and Max Wetteland. Our new collection contains some heritage styles depicted. The photo was taken by Pat Flanagan.
