🏖️ Nippers Season Has Kicked Off: Here’s to Another Summer by the Surf!

From Surfers Paradise to Rainbow Bay, families are back on the beach every weekend — surfboards lined up, zinc on noses, and proud parents cheering from the sand. The 2025/26 Nippers season is officially underway across the Gold Coast!

At Sandi Toes, this time of year means everything to us. We’ve been supporting Surf Life Saving Clubs on the Gold Coast since February 2021, when we first launched our locally designed, sand-free hoodies. From early-morning Nippers to post-surf coffee runs, we’ve loved seeing families embrace the coastal lifestyle our brand was built for.

🧒 Why Sandi Toes Loves Nippers Season

Our Sand-Free Hoodies were made for mornings like these — when the kids come out of the surf covered in salt and sand, and parents just want something quick-drying, warm, and easy to throw on.

• ✅ Quick-Dry Fabric – perfect after Nippers
• ✅ Sand-Free Material – no more sandy car seats
• ✅ Odour Resistant – because it’s a long day on the beach
• ✅ Machine Washable – straight from surf to spin cycle

Designed right here on the Gold Coast, every hoodie carries a bit of our coastal spirit — and the values of our local SLSCs that inspire us every summer.
