WHY RECYCLED PLASTIC?
"In August of 2019, I took a bucket list surf trip to the Maldives. It was a magical experience and it seemed like a fake world of dreamy waves everywhere I looked. The moment that stuck with me the most, was seeing a white capped reef in person while snorkeling one afternoon. Nothing was thriving like I had imagined. The captain of the boat said that this same reef was fully alive 10-15 years ago and now, it was completely dead. This hit me to my core. I knew I had to figure out a way for our business to produce products more sustainable for our oceans and the environment.
My journey to produce products that are fully sustainable started as soon as I got back from the trip. After a year of research and product development, I am proud that 90% of our product lines are now produced using fully recycled and sustainable materials. The ocean was my first love and I feel obligated to protect it. This is just the beginning of a life long journey."
