Finisterre was founded by Tom Kay - a surfer, volunteer lifeboat crewman, and ocean swimmer. Taking inspiration from the natural world, Tom founded Finisterre to build a brand that emotively connects people to the sea.

Quality, innovation and sustainability run right through our product range - from recycled polyester synthetic down jackets to recycled nylon boardshorts, delivered with commercially attractive margins.
