In 1982, Pro-Lite was born. Bill and Dave searched out industrial sewers in Costa Mesa, CA, and began making a limited line of surf travel bags. This put Pro-Lite on the map as the first bag manufacturer to make travel-grade surfboard bags in the United States.

As the brand's reputation as a quality travel bag manufacturer grew, surfers from the United States and around the world looked to Pro-Lite to provide them with the gear to get their surfboards to their destination safely. Professional surfers from around the world used Pro-Lite travel bags as they bounced around the world on tour.

Through the 90's, Pro-Lite expanded its product offering to include a full line of bags for day use as well as leashes, traction pads, and racks. This put Pro-Lite in a position to be the go-to brand for any products used to enhance your surfing experience.

The evolution of Pro-Lite continues today, with new owners in place since 2005 and a renewed energy and vision to design and manufacture the best surfing accessories in the world. Pro-Lite’s key focus is quality and innovation. Pro-Lite is, first and foremost, a travel company and will continue to make products that are designed for surf and travel.
