Our Story. A lady and a man holding up a very large fish together. They are both wearing SA Company performance shirts.

Hey, we’re Soul of Adventure. We live for the thrill of getting out there, discovering something new, and leaving everything else behind. And that doesn’t always call for an epic journey—we know the most fun adventure can start in your own backyard.

Ours started with a simple gimbal cover back in 2014. Florida native Thomas DeSernia was an outdoor explorer and weekend fisherman who needed to keep his fishing rod protected in transport and between trips. So he invented and patented this little doo-dad, then went door to door selling it to local tackle shops. Turns out, there were a lot of weekend fishermen just like him who wanted to get outside and have fun, and who were looking for great gear with great value.

So SA was born, and with it, the not-so-novel idea that outdoor fun should be accessible to everyone. (Seriously, how had nobody thought of this before?). Thomas and his team started bringing the same straightforward approach of the original gimbal cover—quality, value, fun—to an amazing range of outdoor apparel and gear that plays as hard as it works. Because sometimes the post-fishing beer with your buddies is even more fun than fishing itself.

What are you waiting for? Let the adventure begin.

OPEN FOR BUSINESS

Salt Armour is born in Thomas's living room, with himself and two childhood buddies taking their own photographs, building their own website, and packing and shipping their own boxes.

LUCKY SHIRT

Salt Armour creates shirts to help promote the gimbal cover, and the shirts become more popular than the gear itself. Before they've sold 600 units, Under Armour files a lawsuit against them for violation of trademark rights. This is the moment the team knows they are officially onto something huge.

A NEW BEGINNING

Salt Armour and Under Armour settle, with an agreement to rebrand as "SA Fishing."

TAKING ORDERS

SA begins shattering records in the fishing space, first fulfilling enough orders to warrant their own USPS truck daily, followed quickly by an entire trailer and then several trailers in quick succession.
