Package builder

Add gear that stays on court all year

Branded equipment is priced per season. We build it, set it up every weekend and keep it in our van.

Add-ons
How brands show up

Activation playbook

We run the events, film the content and set up your brand every weekend. You send product and show up when you want to.

01 · Sampling

In every player's hand

Your product goes into coolers and onto the check in table. Waiakea moved a pallet and a half of bottles this way in 2026.

02 · Booth

Face the boardwalk

Protein Pints and Wombi drew their biggest crowds when they turned their booths toward the 15,000 people walking by.

03 · Court

Own a court

Name center court, wrap the nets, flags, fencing and pole guards. Every rally clip carries your logo.

04 · Content

Shot by a filmmaker

Our founder is a cinematographer. Your brand lands in reels that pull six and seven figure views.

05 · Broadcast

Live on YouTube

Gold Series and Pro Tour finals stream live with your logo on screen and your name on the mic.

06 · Road

Ride the van

Our van runs the coast from San Francisco to San Diego. Add a decal or wrap the whole thing.

Before you ask

Questions partners ask

Still unsure? Email us and you'll hear back from a person, usually the same day.

Can we sponsor with product instead of cash?

Yes. Many partners start with product only. We hand it to every player and put your logo on the flyer. Larger packages combine product and cash.

Can we pick specific events or cities?

Yes. Event covers one weekend. Market covers 5 tournaments you choose, any beaches and dates. Season covers every Highline event on the coast.

What does category exclusive mean?

Season partners own their category. If you're our energy drink, no other energy drink sponsors a Highline event that year.

How do we know it worked?

Every partner gets a season recap with post links, views, reach and how much product went out, pulled straight from Instagram Insights.

When do we need to commit?

Santa Monica dates for 2027 lock on January 10, 2027. Season and Market slots are limited by category, so earlier gets you first pick.

Who are the players?

Pro, semi pro and amateur beach players from juniors to AVP, plus their friends and families on the sand and the crowd on the boardwalk.

Let's build your season

See you on the sand.
