About Us

SO - LOCAL ® - Authentic Surf & Beachwear from the Gold Coast

Where Surf Culture Meets Rock 'n' Roll

At So Local, we don't just sell T-shirt--we live the surf, skate, and music culture. Born on the Gold Coast, our brand is inspired by saltwater, sun-drenched days, and the untamed spirit of the ocean.

Designed by Rock 'n' Roll Royalty

Every design is crafted by Clifford Hoad, legendary drummer, songwriter, and frontman of Kings of the Sun. His raw, rebellious energy is woven into every piece, bringing the same intensity, attitude, and creativity that made him a rock icon.

Why So Local?

  • Gold Coast Inspired - Our designs reflect Australia's surfing hotspots, laid-back lifestyle, and local legends.
  • Worn by the Community - These tees aren't just for show; they are tested in the waves, rocked by real surfers, and embraced by skaters, creators, and adventurers.
  • Eco-Conscious & High-Quality - Designed for comfort, durability, and effortless style.
  • Supporting Local Talent - We collaborate with surfers, skaters, and content creators who embody the culture we love.
