Background

We are proud to be celebrating our 30th Anniversary this year.  Based in Cornwall, the surfing & windsurfing Mecca of the United Kingdom, Protection Racket grew out of a love of the sea, surf, sun & good music – GOOD VIBRATIONS!

We made our name making surfboard & windsurf board bags; these boards are fragile and PR surfboard bags are still travelling the world to this day. The design of our cases are the exact same specifications from the exact same materials, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. Of course, we have made refinements and improvements as you’d expect. Unbreakable zips, cool silicone badges & luggage tags, waterproof backings, comfortable handles, all designed to make your life on the road that much easier. Effortless transportation & maximum protection!!

Our mission is simple; To provide the drummers of the world with cases of the highest quality, that combine effortless transportation & functionality with maximum protection, whatever the gig.
