\"nsp42fsahr6lhrukacn4q7hiwov574zseowmsfv37ku8m5gb.jpeg.jpeg?w=1140&project=seasurf-286280&v=2\"We\u2019re a beach-loving family from East Devon, raising four sandy kids and a passion for the sea.<\/p>

SeaSurf began at our kitchen table, inspired by Thomas, who at 14 swam in the ocean every month for a year in fancy dress \u2014 starting in his school uniform \u2014 to raise money for marine conservation.<\/p>

That spirit drives SeaSurf and Ocean Activist, our campaigning sub-brand. Together, we stand against fast fashion\u2019s waste and greenwash. Fashion is the world\u2019s third most polluting industry \u2014 we\u2019re here to change that.<\/p>

Every piece we make is a mix of 50 percent organic and 50 percent recycled cotton, built to last, and shipped plastic-free. Real family. Real beaches. Real change.<\/p>

SeaSurf & Ocean Activist. Make waves, not waste.<\/p>","urlTitle":"its-a-family-affair","url":"\/blog\/its-a-family-affair\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/its-a-family-affair\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/shop.oceanactivist.co.uk\/blog\/its-a-family-affair\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1743450557,"updatedAt":1756840306,"publishedAt":1756840305,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":282540,"name":"SeaSurf"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/4dm35nbka6lrvwk9qebm4rbpmlnjisqekkadxe1zvldmzygf.jpeg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/4dm35nbka6lrvwk9qebm4rbpmlnjisqekkadxe1zvldmzygf.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/4dm35nbka6lrvwk9qebm4rbpmlnjisqekkadxe1zvldmzygf.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"","keyPhraseCampaignId":null,"series":[],"similarReads":[{"id":28906,"title":"How is organic cotton made?","url":"\/blog\/how-is-organic-cotton-made\/","urlTitle":"how-is-organic-cotton-made","division":282540,"description":"Organic Organic cotton is grown without the harmful chemicals that are in most pesticides and fertilisers.
