ABOUT US

Kate Richards grew up in Cornwall, UK - passionate about sports and the sea.

While working in Thailand, she discovered Lemongrass House, a brand known for its 100% natural handmade spa products, and brought it to the UK in 2018.

Back home, she realised that while wetsuits and boards were going greener, surf wax was still packed with petrochemicals. Determined to change that, she teamed up with a university to analyse leading wax brands—uncovering harmful fillers and misleading "eco" claims.

With Lemongrass House’s expertise, she created Radical Wax—made from sustainably sourced plant waxes and repurposed natural byproducts. No greenwashing, no fossil fuels—just a high-performance wax that’s better for surfers and the sea.

‘By choosing Radical Wax, you’re backing sustainability, transparency, and a cleaner ocean.’

“Our mission as surfers is to leave nothing behind.”
