Silver Surf

What Silver Surf does

Silver Surf Surfboards is a Brazilian surfboard manufacturer founded in 1994 in Santos, São Paulo, by brothers Adriano "Teco" and Sylvio "Tico" Oliveira, who remain active co-founders and shapers. The company designs and produces surfboards in-house at its Santos factory, offering a portfolio that spans high-performance shortboards, hybrid and easy-rider models, fish designs, mid-lengths, longboards, soft-tops, and Stand-Up Paddle boards. Core construction technologies include traditional PU/fiberglass, EPS/Epoxy, proprietary Carbon Flex and Full Carbon lamination systems, and the 2025-launched Invisible Tech finish. A sub-brand collaboration with California shaper Timmy Patterson (T.Patterson Surfboards, 20+ year partnership) and signature models with World Surf League Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist Italo Ferreira anchor the high-performance and competitive segments of the lineup.

The business model is direct-to-consumer surfboard sales through the company's e-commerce site (silversurf.com.br), a factory showroom in Santos, and a multi-state authorized reseller and distributor network covering at least seven Brazilian states (São Paulo, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Norte, Bahia, Ceará, Paraná) plus international distributors in Israel and Japan. Pricing ranges from R$2,150 to R$4,450+ for standard boards, with a R$1,400 premium for Full Carbon builds, R$1,000 for Invisible Tech, and R$200 for Carbon Flex; custom made-to-order boards ship within 30 business days. The company also operates a Wear Division apparel line on a separate storefront and sells accessories (decks, leashes, fins). The company is privately held with no disclosed external investment, no disclosed revenue, and a small team of 14 employees, and there is no evidence of AI/ML-driven product or operations.
