ZISSOU

51 years old and still making his way to the green.

Inspired by the blue-and-white VW bus that’s been part of the Swell Marks garage from the start. Each Zissou is deep engraved into stainless steel, hand-filled with enamel, and finished one at a time.

This first run is just 25 markers. Once they’re gone, Zissou heads back to the garage for a while until we can coax him into another run.

Know the Break. Mark Your Spot.

the ocean sets the standard

The ocean has always shaped the way we see design—patient, powerful, and intentional.

Every Swell Marks piece begins with a place, a story, and a block of solid brass. What follows is careful engraving, hand finishing, and the belief that craftsmanship should be seen as much as it is felt.

From metal blank to finished marker. One at a time.

San Diego’s underwater landscape defines the swells that define our coast. These depths are where our design language begins — the quiet geometry behind every marker we make.

1983 - cheif's mess marker


Inspired by the traditions of the United States Navy Chief Petty Officer's Mess, 1893 is a commissioned brass marker created to honor generations of Chiefs. Deep engraving, polished brass, and a clear resin field bring the anchor forward while the repeating 1893 pattern quietly reveals itself in the light.
