SAN DIEGO, CA — Sandy Vans announces the release of Episode 5 of Sandy Vans TV (SVTV), offering an inside look at the creation and testing of the SV Surf Rack, a purpose-built solution designed for surfers who live life on the road.
In this latest episode, viewers are taken behind the scenes as the Sandy Vans team transforms a common pain point for traveling surfers into a durable, accessible, and design-forward storage solution. From early concept sketches and prototyping to real-world evaluation, the episode showcases the full development journey.
Filmed in part at one of the most iconic wave pools on the planet, Surf Ranch, the SV Surf Rack is tested under authentic conditions—salt, sand, repetition, and heavy use—demonstrating how thoughtful design meets the demands of adventure travel. The team dives into the challenges of balancing strength, ease of loading, and sleek aesthetics, ultimately refining a rack engineered to perform on the road and at the break.
“Episode 5 highlights what it truly takes to turn a problem into a purpose-built solution,” Brian Daigneault, Founder. “This rack wasn’t designed in theory; it was built through real experience, real surf, and real travel.”
The episode illustrates Sandy Vans’ commitment to innovation driven by firsthand experience, offering viewers both inspiration and insight into product development rooted in adventure.
