Our Story

At Waterboy, we believe in a simple philosophy:
You only have one life. Live it.

But living life fully comes with… consequences.
A night out that went way harder than expected.
A workout that humbled you.
A day where you’re just trying to be a functioning adult.

Most hydration brands create one generic formula and expect it to work everywhere. We knew that wasn’t good enough. We make hydration that’s FUNctional - and specific to the situation.

Why? Well because your hydration needs after tequila shots, after squats, and after scrolling emails for 8 hours straight are NOT the same.

The Waterboy difference

Different situations = different formulas.
Duh.

  • Night out: Weekend Recovery

  • Workout: Workout Hydration

  • Everyday: Daily Hydration

In each formula, we vary our electrolyte blend and functional ingredients. 

Where it started: Weekend Recovery

Sometimes we’d go out with friends and one drink would turn into many. Next thing you know, we’d wake up with a headache and a questionable IG story. Just traded 4 hours of fun for 24 hours of misery. Not a good investment.

To recover, we’d chug down a Pedialyte to replace electrolytes + raw ginger for nausea + emergen C + l-theanine to reduce hangxiety etc. You see, the last thing you want to do when you are hungover is run your own science lab and 5 step recipe.

So we turned it all into powder and put it inside our Weekend Recovery stick, so it’s more affordable and portable. It’s not a miracle cure, but it’s a much better way to feel less shitty for $2.

Workout Hydration: for when you're actually trying to be a better human

Just because we like to go out, doesn’t mean we don’t value our health. High-intensity sweat sessions need way more sodium, more replenishment, and faster absorption. Most “sport” mixes? Basically flavored sugar water.

So we built Workout Hydration - a higher-sodium, performance-focused formula designed to help you push harder, recover faster, and not feel like your soul left your body mid-workout.

Daily Hydration: for the 80% of life that isn't chaos

Because sometimes you’re not raging or training… you’re just living. Working. Traveling. Parenting. Existing. You need everyday, gentle, steady hydration - without a salt bomb. So we built Daily Hydration, a lower-sodium formula for regular humans doing regular things.

Some beliefs we live by

Work hard, play hard. Laugh often. Lift heavy. Say yes to the spontaneous trip. Save sugar for dessert, not hydration. Be serious about your goals - but don’t forget to enjoy the ride.

Love & Electrolytes,
