Eisbach Riders is a certified 1% for the Planet member since 2021, supporting ocean protection, river conservation, and marine ecosystem restoration through verified environmental organizations.
As part of this global network, we commit at least 1% of our annual revenue to verified environmental organizations working to protect oceans, rivers, wildlife, and natural ecosystems.
For us, this isn't a campaign or a checkbox. It's a long-term commitment to the environments that make surfing, river surfing, and stand-up paddling possible in the first place.
What Is 1% for the Planet?
1% for the Planet is an international organization that connects responsible businesses with trusted environmental nonprofits.
Unlike many donation models, members commit 1% of revenue — not profit.
This ensures contributions remain meaningful, transparent, and independently verified, even in years with higher costs or lower margins.
Since its founding, the network has helped direct hundreds of millions of euros to environmental protection worldwide.

Why This Matters to Eisbach Riders
Born on the river and built for the ocean, Eisbach Riders designs gear for surfers who depend on healthy waterways. Our products are designed for surfers and paddlers who rely on:
Clean rivers and flowing water
Healthy oceans and coastlines
Functioning marine and freshwater ecosystems
Climate change, pollution, and habitat loss directly affect these environments — and the communities built around them. Supporting environmental protection is not optional for us; it's part of being honest about where our sport comes from.
Why your impact matters
A single order might seem small on its own. But when combined with thousands of others, it helps fund real, measurable environmental impact.
A €40 order at Eisbach Riders contributes €0.40 through our 1% for the Planet commitment. When added up, these contributions help support:
- ≈ 1 A4-sized area of seagrass or marine habitat restored
- ≈ 0.5–1 kg of waste removed from rivers or coastlines
- Long-term CO₂ capture through marine plant restoration
This is the power of collective action: built-in contributions that scale with our community and help protect the rivers and oceans our sport depends on — today and for the long run.
A Long-Term Commitment
We've been a 1% for the Planet member since 2021, and this commitment grows as Eisbach Riders grows.
Our goal is simple:
Build high-performance surf and river gear — while helping protect the environments that make these sports possible.
