Three Generations.
One Passion.
It started in the early 1990s on the dunes of Port Lincoln, South Australia. John Bertram — a craftsman at heart — built the first Squids sandboard by hand with his son Michael and brother Shane. What began as a family passion quickly became a legend in the local sandboarding community.
Today, that legacy lives on through Clay Bertram, who carries forward over 50 years of combined family craftsmanship into every single board. Each Squids board is still handmade in Port Lincoln, individually numbered, and built to last on Australia's most iconic dunes.
When you ride a Squids board, you're not just riding a sandboard — you're part of a story three generations in the making.
More Than a Board Builder
Clay Bertram isn't just carrying on a family craft — he's building a legacy that gives back to the community that raised him.
2021 Young in Business People's Choice Award
Clay's dedication to quality craftsmanship and community values earned him the 2021 Young in Business People's Choice Award — proof that great things are built in regional Australia.
Supporting the Royal Flying Doctors
Clay and the Squids team held a silent auction fundraiser for the Royal Flying Doctor Service — supporting the medical lifeline that serves rural and remote Australians every single day.
