The new Hibiscus Collection by Salt Gypsy is here! Salt Gypsy switched back to On-Demand manufacturing, which means for a few days each month they will open the gates for bespoke orders, make your ♻️surf garment/s to order in limited editions and then ship out 3-5 weeks later. Why? Great question! It’s actually how Danny kickstarted Salt Gypsy back in 2012 and is a shift that we’re seeing other brands talk about transparently and making a part of their core business structure. It's also part of the global #fashionrevolution that’s been gaining traction for the last several years.It’s a way to reduce the overproduction of inventory that ends up discounted (which is not conducive to a sustainable business) or in landfills/incinerators.On top of this, by ordering through...
When Magdalena Zielińska sent me an amazing photo of her recent surf travels in Central America, it reminded me of my long bucket list of surf destinations. While we still have to be patient for a little while before travel will return to normal, now might be the ideal time to start planning your next destination. Why not make it Nicaragua? Magdalena Zielińska wrote about her experience in Nicaragua for us.Get those notebooks out! EL GIGANTE El Gigante is definitely still a hidden gem of marvellous Nicaragua. Even though the country is visited by roughly 1.9 millions tourists each year (statistics from 2017 - a year before the protests emerged) Nicaragua is still one of the countries in Latin...
Photo by Mims Radford Time for a little personal update... This photo sums up the feeling I've had over the last 9 months.Waiting for my turn to surf again. I'll be out of office for a few days, as I'm expecting to deliver our rainbow baby. 🌈If you have been following Seafoam over the years, you may know we lost our firstborn back in 2017. 🌟So after 9 months of staying on dry land, the excitement is like that of seeing perfect clean lines popping up on the horizon.While I will be taking some time out over the next week to soak it all in,order shipments might be delayed. For now, we are officially out of office between28th of January and 5th of February.While...
If you're into water sports, sustainability and looking after our oceans is highly likely to be on your mind A LOT. You experienced first hand the changes in our oceans that have been happening over the last decades. It's our playground, we couldn't live without it and try to protect it as much as we can. But it's a huge task that often might seem too big for us as individuals to even make the smallest dent in. You hear it everywhere, "buy sustainable products", you see all these swimwear companies changing to recycled fabrics. But is it really as simple as that? Does this actually mean the product you buy is more sustainable? We spoke to textile engineer & Zealous Clothing founder Marie,...
Being a female-run business offering women-powered surf labels, we naturally love surf destinations geared towards ocean-loving women. We covered Chicks on Waves in Portugal on the blog in the past, but across the world there are some other unique destinations that have made a name for themselves in the last few years. One of them is Salti Hearts in Bali. We spoke to founder Yeni Canelon about her retreats, what inspired her and what they have to offer for you. Yeni Canelon, founder and host of Salti Hearts Retreats Hi Yeni, could you tell us a little more about yourself and how you started Salti Hearts? My name is Yeni Canelon. I'm originally from Venezuela, but grew up in the Caribbean between...
