I’m so happy and proud to be part of this beautiful project
"Surf Collective"
Mark & Andrew Brothers from the Northern Beaches and Central Coast of Sydney, love the ocean, surfing and the culture it represents.
They believe in Passion Love & Creativity
Over the years though, from its humble beginnings, slowly but very surely, the surf culture they loved turned into a global industry. As proud as it made them, in the early days, to see this niche lifestyle choice they adored becoming envied and coveted the world over, they also felt that over the years, little by little, a small part of its charm was slipping away.
They feel that Surfing industry is a globally ebbing and commanded by multinational corporations.
They miss the simplicity old school surfing culture, as they know it, They believe that these days it’s probably as strong as ever.
It’s just a little harder to see through all the sponsorship banners and neon-lit logos. They feel that it is time to make a change whether
it was boards, clothing, accessories, art…
Mark & Andrew realised how meaningful it is for them to bring back the love and passion to our beautiful Australian surfing culture and support independent, non-mass-produced surf products.
The idea of Surf Collective is Mark & Andrew’s passion to set out and find a collection of truly independent producers of quality Australian surf gear,
and establish an online marketplace who’s motivation was two-fold:
to present a platform for these independent creatives to showcase and sell their wares, and to provide consumers, with a reliable connection to the kind of limited-edition items they can no longer seem to find in today’s same-same saturated marketplace.
Surf Collective is a place to discover the surf gear you’ve been searching for. You’ll be able to learn about the producers of the goods you’re purchasing – their inspiration, motives and values. You’re buying online from homegrown producers in a way that’s almost as authentic as if buying from them face-to-face at a local market.
Surf Collective aims to encourage, and ultimately enable, emerging producers to present their product to a broader market… and of course, offer fantastic independent products to its customers.
I’m proud to sell my handmade jewellery brand in their online shop be part of what they represent, this beautiful way of life, to be around supporting people that have a vision, they love what they do and they are happy to spared the love and magic for the ocean and surfing culture that believes in people and handmade brands that love what they do and put their soul into their creations.
