Ocean & Earth had a standout evening, walking away with five awards: Small to Medium Brand of the Year, Product Innovation, Surfing Accessory, Account Manager of the Year, and Sales and Customer Service Office of the Year. These accolades highlight the company's commitment to quality, performance, and exceptional service in the surfing community.

Additionally, on the following night, Ocean & Earth Founder Brian Cregan was honoured with the Midget Farrelly Lifetime Achievement Award. This prestigious award in conjunction with Surfing NSW recognizes Brian’s enduring contributions to the surf industry and his unwavering dedication to the sport and community.

Reflecting on the honour, Brian shared, “The first time I crossed paths with Midget was in 1974 at the Surfblanks warehouse in Mona Vale. To receive an award in his name is truly humbling. Midget’s legacy in surfing inspires us all to push boundaries and innovate.”

“We are incredibly proud to be recognized among such esteemed companies and individuals in the surf industry,” said Phil Macdonald, CEO of Ocean & Earth. “These awards reflect our dedication to creating high-quality products that enhance the surfing experience while prioritizing sustainability. We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint and supporting the health of our oceans.”

The Small to Medium Brand of the Year award underscores Ocean & Earth’s significant impact within the surf industry, while Product Innovation showcases the patented protection systems that are reflected in the new Apex Surfboard Cover Range, which won the Surfing Accessory Award. O&E products are built by surfers for surfers.

The recognition of Account Manager of the Year (Matt Bilsborough ) and Sales & Customer Service Office of the Year speaks to Ocean & Earth’s dedication to building strong relationships and providing exceptional service to its customers and partners.

Ocean & Earth would also like to thank all their staff, retail partners and customers over the last 4 decades. “Without our retail partners, staff and customers, O&E would not be what it is today”, says Brian Cregan, “ Thank you”.
