Our mission
A brand for women made by women
Many of you might have already experienced how hard it can be to find a good fitting Bikini or Swimsuit. A piece that doesn't slip and slide or fully drift away with the next wave. A piece that doesn't cut into your skin, no matter how your body is shaped, but fully supports your silhouette. Josea Surfwear was founded to find a solution to these problems and to empower women to feel comfortable in their swimwear. We're testing our designs ourselves on land and in the water, working on them until they meet our expectations.
Doing all that sustainably and fairly is one of our main priorities. Click the button below to find out more about our approach to a sustainable act.
from then until now
How it all started
Meet the Team
We are a Team of four women who share the same passion for the ocean and water sports. We are dedicated to creating the best possible products for you. Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is part of our philosophy.
Founder
Jocy
Jocy is the founder of Josea Surfwear. Before venturing into entrepreneurship, Jocy worked in the product management department in the traditional fashion industry after completing her studies in fashion and textile management.
A long and unsuccessful search for a well-fitting sports bikini sparked the idea of starting her own bikini label a few years ago. Inspired by her global travels and entrepreneurial friends, Jocy took the initiative and established Josea Surfwear in 2016. Since then, she has been dedicated to running the company in the best and most sustainable way possible. Doing that, her main focus is on YOU, specifically you! :) Strong women who pursue their passions, love what they do, and are willing to take risks. The brand holds a big significance for Jocy as it connects her with inspiring women who share her values and love for water sports or other pursuits.
Alongside her passion for kitesurfing and surfing, Jocy enjoys spending time with her family and practicing yoga. Looking ahead, she aspires to undergo yoga teacher training and further open her heart to establish deeper connections with herself, nature, and others.
Jocy's favorite Josea Surfwear pieces:
The Cloud Nine Top and the Maloja Bottom in all the new colors. She also loves the Hurricane suit in bubble Leo!
Product Management & Customer Care
Lynn
Lynn has been working with us in customer service and product management since february 2023 and is the face behind our Info@ mail address. She always looks forward to your messages and is here to assist you with any questions you may have. Additionally, she carefully inspects your favorite pieces before they are shipped, ensuring they reach your home in the highest quality.
Before joining our team, Lynn completed her training as a physiotherapist in Osnabrück after spending two years of traveling. After her graduation, her love for the ocean brought her to Kiel and in this way also to us. If the wind conditions in Kiel are favorable, you’ll most likely find Lynn near or on the water. She is a passionate kitesurfer and has not only integrated her passion into her professional life through her work at Josea but also through her extensive experience as a kitesurf instructor. She loves sharing her passion with others and empowering women to become skilled surfers.
In the future, Lynn wishes to travel to more countries and explore different cultures. A kitesurfing trip to Brazil is at the top of her list. In her work at Josea, she particularly enjoys supporting strong women and the fact that sustainable practices are possible in the fashion industry!
Lynn's favorite pieces from Josea Surfwear:
The Cloud Nine Top and the Cape Doc Bottom in trippy rainbow!
Freelance Content Creator
Doro
Doro works with Josea Surfwear as a freelance content creator, shooting and producing social media. After creating surf content in Indonesia, she decided to collaborate with Josea on a more regular basis. Now, she travels the world with her camera and has always a few Josea Surfwear pieces in her backpack.
What makes Josea special for her are the brand’s values, such as sustainability and female empowerment. She also loves the colorful designs, the high quality, and, last but not least, the lovely team behind Josea Surfwear.
After studying Media Management in Mittweida, Doro bought an old VW bus and lived in Portugal for a while. Eventually, the bus broke down, so she continued her journey with a backpack – preferably to Sri Lanka. Every now and then, she returns to her home near Dresden, but the next adventure is usually already on the horizon.
What makes her happy? Being surrounded by lots of nature and spending time in the water. She learned to surf in 2022 and immediately fell in love with it. Inspired by her connection to the Josea team, she now also wants to learn kitesurfing in the future.
Doro’s favorite piece from Josea Surfwear:
The Mistral Longarm Suit in blue waves!
