Our Story

The origin of the Banana Bag Oral Solution grew out of my two passions, surfing and pharmaceutical science.

My friends and work colleagues know I spend the majority of my time away from work chasing waves in tropical remote places around the world. I've endured all the hardships we surfers willingly put our bodies through in order to catch that perfect wave.

Let me itemize the damage.

Bringing Aid to Remote Families

We at Banana Bag have always been passionate about two things: helping peoples' bodies function properly through our rehydration & vitamin therapy formulas... and surfing. Surfing actually plays a pivotal part of our story--Brian, our founder, is an avid surfer and came up with the idea for an Oral Rehydration Solution after several dehydration-induced wipeouts on a surfing trip to Indonesia.

A lot of the work that SurfAid does in these far-flung communities involves providing safe, clean water. With Banana Bag's focus on products providing fast rehydration, this partnership is a natural fit. To launch this exciting new endeavor, we're offering 15% off your next purchase with promo code SURFAID15.

Importance of our Partnership

Funds will be directed to SurfAid's Mother and Child Health programs, ensuring remote communities have access to clean water & sanitation, basic healthcare, improved nutrition and economic opportunities. We're also providing product for SurfAid Cup competitors to help them stay hydrated on the beach.

We've always believed in bringing clinicians together, pooling knowledge to create sustainability and provide beneficial products, especially for underdeveloped countries. This partnership is right in line with our mission and values.

Our Shared Origin

SurfAid's mission is to improve the health, wellbeing and resilience of families living in isolated regions connected to us through surfing. To top it off, SurfAid got its start in the exact same place that Banana Bag did--the Mentawai Islands, 100 miles West of Sumatra in Indonesia.

Brian had this to say about the partnership, “This is a dream come true. I've been wanting to make a meaningful contribution to SurfAid since I was a teenager! Now, 20 years later, I have a company that supports their cause, and their health! Double STOKED!”
