About 17th & Surf

Seaside Vibes Until We Die

17th & Surf is a coastal streetwear brand built on the belief that the ocean deserves more than a postcard. We make limited-run graphic apparel rooted in maritime history, ocean folklore, and the strange, beautiful, sometimes dangerous world that lives at the edge of the water.

Every design starts with a story — a real place, a real phenomenon, a real piece of the sea that most people have never heard of. Blood Falls in Antarctica. Point Nemo, the most isolated spot on Earth. The Manchineel tree, quietly growing on beaches across the Caribbean, waiting to ruin your afternoon. We dig into the maritime world and bring those stories to the surface, then put them on a shirt.

Meet Joey & Kasey

17th & Surf was founded by Joey and Kasey Accardi — a couple from North Wildwood, New Jersey, and Atlanta, Georgia respectively, who's shared interest in the dark and mysterious waters we call home birthed the brand. The brand is named for the stretch of shoreline they grew up around, and it carries that spirit into everything: the art, the attitude, and the reason behind each drop.

North Wildwood is still home. You can find 17th & Surf Apparel in person at The Little Giant Market in North Wildwood, NJ — just look for our street sign and stop by if you're down the shore.

We're not a warehouse. We're two people who genuinely love the water, the weird history it hides, and making things worth wearing.

Who We Are

17th & Surf was founded by Joey and Kasey Accardi — a couple from North Wildwood, New Jersey, and Atlanta, Georgia respectively, who's shared interest in the dark and mysterious and creative pursuits birthed the brand. The brand is named for the stretch of shoreline they grew up around, and it carries that spirit into everything: the art, the attitude, and the reason behind each drop.

We're based in Marietta, Georgia now, but North Wildwood is still home. You can find us in person at The Little Giant Market in North Wildwood, NJ — stop by if you're down the shore.

We're not a warehouse. We're two people who genuinely love the water, the weird history it hides, and making things worth wearing.

Limited Runs. Real Art.

We don't do mass production. Every collection is a limited run — when it's gone, it's gone. That's intentional. We want our pieces to feel like something worth keeping, not something you grabbed off a rack.

The artwork is bold, screen-print-ready, and designed to tell a story on its own. Whether it's a skeleton surfing a tombstone, a Rorschach inkblot made from a hammerhead shark, or a seagull with a rap sheet, there's always something underneath the image worth talking about.

For Those Who Love the Sea

We care about the water that inspires us. That's why 10% of our profits go directly to the Georgia Aquarium, supporting their ocean conservation research and marine life programs.

The Georgia Aquarium is one of the world's leading institutions for ocean science and animal care — and we're proud to put a small percentage of every sale toward the work they do. Every shirt is a little bit of something that matters.
