Yeah, we know… unacceptable that we’ve been away.

But while you thought we were slacking off, we were actually cooking up something worth the wait — brand-new Ding Batter stickers.

Crystal Coast humor in every design

Weatherproof and cooler-tested

Limited run — once they’re gone, they’re gone

Catch them first at Cedar Fest or find one of us out and about. The location in the pictures may have a few hanging around as well. Grab one, or forever hold your peace (and your plain cooler).

The Weather Channel’s got Jim Cantore. The Crystal Coast has got Skip, Googan, and Tugg. One knows the forecast. The other two can barely survive their own advice. Watch the Ding Batter hurricane ‘safety’ tips, keep watching for more shenanigans, and make sure you come visit us at dingbatterapparel.com.

Skip’s the leader.
Tugg’s the little safety lifeguard.
Googan? He’s the guy who can turn a perfect fishing day into a floating yard sale.

From Swansboro to Beaufort, the Crystal Coast is full of captains who can find fish before sunrise and dock like it’s muscle memory. Googan’s still trying to figure out which cooler the bait goes in.

To celebrate the full Ding Batter crew, we’re giving away your choice of a Ding Batter T-shirt or hat.

1.) Watch the video.

2.) Tag your favorite charter or captain on the Crystal Coast.

3.) Share the video.

Winner announced Wednesday at 2 PM.

The Crystal Coast is full of captains who can put you on fish all day.
The last of the Ding Batter crew? He’s not one of them but we would like to honor them.
He’s tangled lines on every dock from Swansboro to Morehead.
Tomorrow, The Googan finally makes landfall — bless his heart. Keep an eye out for the new video drop.

We don’t know Captain Cindy Garb, but we know when someone in the Crystal Coast family needs a hand, you throw them a line.

She’s recovering from a serious accident and has a long journey ahead—let’s help keep her boat steady.

Give what ya can

Our beloved friend, mentor, and fearless leader, Captain Cindy Garb o… Shanna Stawicki needs your support for From the Helm to Healing – Support Captain Cindy

Too hot to fish. Too dumb to stop.

The Fried & Tide shirt is finally here and available for local delivery— for anyone who’s ever baked in the sun and still swore the bite was coming.

Coral, Yellow, and Sand. Sizes S–XXL.

Local delivery from Emerald Isle to Beaufort.

Tag someone who smells like low tide.

Tugg the Turtle’s Crystal Coast Safety Tips”

Meet Tugg — the newest (and most sensible) member of the Ding Batter crew.

We spotted him after a stop at Stoney’s Fired Pizza and a walk down the shoreline. Since then, he’s been quietly calling out the chaos and dropping little reminders about how to stay safe on the sand.

Inspired by the real protectors of the Crystal Coast:
Emerald Isle Sea Turtle Patrol
The Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center
NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores
Cape Lookout National Seashore
And every lifeguard keeping watch across Bogue Banks.

This isn’t official. It’s a thank-you.
And maybe a fun way to teach beach safety and conservation — one sarcastic turtle at a time.

Tag someone who helps protect the beach — and follow along to see what this little guy’s got to say.

!!!New Character Video Drops Tomorrow!!!
10,000 views on our first video.

Y’all really watched that mess?

Appreciate every one of you—especially the ones in gas station shades and boats named after country songs.

Since y’all liked our first brand ambassador,
we figured it’s time to introduce the next member of the Ding Batter crew.

His name is Tugg and he is serious about beach safety and sometimes acts so unsouthern you'd think that he orders unsweet tea on purpose.

BTW we have a few t-shirts in for local pickup or delivery? (pictures coming soon.)

Been gettin’ messages for weeks.
“Skip, when can I get one local?”
“Y’all got hats without the shipping?”
“Where’d so-and-so get theirs?”

So we made it easy.

We’ve got 20 Ding Batter hats — designed right here on the Crystal Coast.
Clean, simple, and built for sun, salt, and bad decisions.

$25. No shipping. No online mess.
Just me, the truck, and porch drops from Cedar Point to Beaufort.

Shoot me a message if you want one.
When they’re gone, they’re gone.

– Sandbar Skip

“Hey y’all, Skip here.
Just rolled into Emerald Isle, thought I’d soak up some sun, maybe grab a snack that isn’t covered in sand… but this place? It’s already tryin’ to chew me up and spit me out.

Stick around—this trip’s off to a real Ding Batter start.”
