As a group of passionate sports enthusiasts including a couple of world champions in the mix, the team are incredibly passionate about changing the way the sports equipment it made and used. Why should new products take 2 years to come to market? Why is their $bilions of stock sitting around the world often going to waste when its out of season and why are we as consumers just told what we should buy? We’re human, we’re individuals and our sports equipment should reflect that. Our goal is to help bring innovation to sports manufacturing and supply chain by making it Agil & Lea, delivery quality products, made OnDeamand at the click of a button. In turn we’ll all be doing our part to rid the world of waste. Our goal is big, and we’re just getting started. Lets do this.
Hailing from the shores of Bondi beach, Disrupt is shaking up the sports industry with forward thinking and disruptive technologies.
Gary Elphick Founded what is now known as Disrupt Sports in late 2014 with one thing in mind, enabling mass customising options for sports equipment. A core team soon followed Gary in expanding the product line from Surf to Skate and now Yoga and Snow and being the finalist of Australian Small Business of the year both in 2015 and 2016
We believe that everyone is an individual who has different needs and buying mass-produced gear doesn’t necessarily suit everyone’s individuality. That’s where we step in, we are for living, creating and innovating. We want to help you design sports gear that is unique to you and has a meaningful design behind it. We believe in the power of individuality and celebrating creativity through sports.

We started a simple site to help people design products locally made
After having some early success and good word of mouth we decided to expand shaping production to the USA
We were receiving constant enquires to expand our lines in the winter to help Snowboards make custom boards. Through this process we started expanding our product range across the US and Australia
Mid way through 2016 we opened our wholesale manufacturing division to helps brands and thier agencies access one off and microbatch custom sports equipment.
