About Srface

Documented facts: SRFACE is a real, trading, independent Dutch DTC wetsuit brand founded 2017 (first sales 2018), producing in Cambodia and Thailand; its Eco line uses Yulex natural rubber from an FSC-certified Sri Lankan forest; it uses limestone-based neoprene, water-based lamination glue, dope-dyed and recycled linings (including REPREVE recycled polyester), and recyclable packaging, and states
SRFACE states on its own FAQ that its wetsuits are “made in Cambodia and Thailand,” produced by partner factories the brand describes as “the world’s leading wetsuit manufacturers.” The company says it visits each factory regularly but does not publicly name the specific factories. Its Yulex natural rubber (used in the Eco line) is grown and harvested from an FSC-certified forest in Sri Lanka; design and development happen in the Netherlands and South Africa.
SRFACE is an independent Dutch wetsuit brand founded in 2017 by a group of Dutch surfers and entrepreneurs (widely reported as Augustus Schraven, Christiaan Brouwer, Reinier Korstanje, Jeroen Coppens and Thijs Slootjes), operating as SRFACE B.V. The company is headquartered in The Hague, Netherlands, with a product-development/R&D office in Cape Town, South Africa. It launched its first wetsuits in May 2018 as a direct-to-consumer, online-only business. No parent company is documented; SRFACE describes and operates as an independent brand. (Founding-team member names come from Dutch trade press rather than SRFACE’s own site, so treat the exact five-person list as reported rather than officially confirmed.)
SRFACE is a real, currently-trading, legitimate business. Its website (srface.com) is live and actively selling wetsuits in 2026 with current seasonal collections (e.g. Sunset Capsule), and it maintains active product lines (Remix, Heat, Lite, Eco, Flex) plus accessories. This is verifiably the Dutch surf-wetsuit brand SRFACE, not a similarly named company in another industry.
SRFACE is a slow/small-batch, single-category specialist rather than fast fashion. It makes technical surf wetsuits (plus a small accessory range), describes small-batch, hand-assembled production, sells direct-to-consumer online with no retail stores, and deliberately holds minimal stock. Its output is a limited number of wetsuit models updated over seasons, which is the opposite of the high-volume, rapid-turnover trend cycle that defines fast fashion.
Certifications: SRFACE’s only clearly documented third-party product certification is FSC, which applies to the sustainably managed Sri Lankan forest that supplies the Yulex natural rubber used in its Eco line. SRFACE also references GOTS in connection with some organic-cotton accessories (e.g. a poncho). There is no evidence that SRFACE holds B Corp, OEKO-TEX, bluesign, Fair Trade, or European Flax certification; none is claimed on its site. Materials such as limestone-based neoprene and Yamamoto #40 neoprene are supplier/material choices, not certifications.
Srface does not publicly document a recognised textile certification such as GOTS or OEKO-TEX in the sources we checked. What we can confirm is the material itself: our scan of 54 Srface styles found 1.9% is 100% plant fibre, so Srface’s natural-fibre standing rests on its composition rather than a certificate.
The most common fibres in the Srface styles we read were nylon and polyester. That composition is the measurable fact behind what Srface is made of, so check the specific Srface label for any individual piece.
How we scan. Every figure on this page comes from the Throne Standard scan: we read the fibre composition off each live product on the brand’s own site, style by style, and count only single-fibre plant cloth (cotton, linen, hemp) as natural. Animal fibres such as wool, silk and cashmere and plastic-based synthetics such as polyester, nylon and elastane sit outside the plant-fibre figure, and regenerated fibres such as viscose, bamboo, modal and Tencel are counted as semi-synthetic. Percentages are calculated over the styles that state a composition; anything unlabelled is shown separately.
