About Us
The Driftloop Makers
Driftloop started when two mates who spend a lot of time in the water realised most adventure gear was pretty wasteful. Between surf sessions, sailing mishaps and swim races, they decided to try and come up with an alternative. The plan? Make gear that can handle a bit of chaos, looks good covered in salt and sand, and doesn’t wreck the planet in the process. Driftloop was born — part passion project, part excuse to keep playing outside.
Hand sewn and custom made in North Devon.
Unique & hardwearing protection for beautiful wave-sliding equipment. And more.
At Driftloop, we want to make a change.
We know that a significant amount of industrial and household plastics are processed and turned into new materials and products.
But once we realised that many common sheet plastics—found everywhere in daily life—can’t be handled by standard recycling systems, it pushed us to act. These materials typically end up in landfill.
Which is… pretty grim.
On top of that, converting plastic waste into “new” material can itself be a highly wasteful operation. It’s often energy-intensive, chemically heavy, polluting, and usually happens thousands of miles away from the communities producing the waste.
So at Driftloop, our ethos is simple: collect as much usable material as we can, keep the process low-impact, and repurpose it into durable, functional, genuinely cool gear for people who care about their surfboards and their planet.
