Eat. Sleep. Surf .

In an ideal world, life wouldn’t be anymore complicated.

But of course, for the average Aussie bloke, there’s always going to be a few brief distractions that steal your focus away from this simple mantra.

And we’ve found after many years of hands-on research, that trying to score, in some form or another, seems to be the main distraction for Australian surfers.  Need proof? Remember trying to score your first set of decent set of wheels to get from the beach to your mate’s house. Scoring some funky threads to cover your rudest bits, while making your remaining protrusions look less offensive to the opposite sex.  Downloading…ahem…scoring a few new albums of melodious tunes to kick back to during onshore summer afternoons.  Shouting a few rounds at your local watering hole, scoring a few beers in return and as well as the meat tray, which ends up accompanying you, your mates and a carton of amber back to your house for an unplanned wild Saturday eve on the turps.  And finally, how could we avoid it any longer, scoring a quick perve at the glowing bikini-clad flesh that appears on your local beach without warning every summer.

Shackn is here to help you score. Whether it be a place to surf or a place to sleep, a meat pie or a place to meet, a place to take the missus or a place meet your missus-to-be.

Shackn is for lovers of the Aussie coastal lifestyle who enjoy travelling up and down the coast exploring new breaks and their surroundings, who embrace new experiences.
