Sustainable Surf | Conscious Wetsuits

Wetsuits! Traditionally wetsuits are made from a kind of rubber called neoprene, a synthetic material that cannot be recycled and therefore ends up in landfills, adding to the already large amount of waste on our Earth. This leads us to the new wave of eco-friendly wetsuits where brands are putting sustainability at the front of their mission.

Fresh Eyes | Taylor Bringhurst

Taylor Bringhurst is a California Native whose experience in design has led her to create a fun and groovy art style. Initially, Taylor was a fashion student in Los Angeles but often found herself discouraged by all the minuscule details that had to go into her work. After learning to surf when she was 18, Taylor found herself discovering her passion for digital design, taking inspiration from her newfound surf community and artists such as Matisse and Georgia O’Keefe. Taylor’s focus on fashion and detailed work has transformed itself into fun and free-flowing shapes and colors. She finds great strength and inspiration within the community she has created through her art.

An Inside Job | Anna White

Anna White is a triple threat—artist, musician, and writer—working to create a more accessible platform for indie artists outside of the US. Beginning her career as a contributor for the prolific Rookie Magazine, Anna has been at the helm of multiple creative projects, including the Nearness Project, collaborative response to quarantine isolation, and her new record label and artist support initiative, Inside Joe Records. As Anna provided insight into her many creative endeavors, I learned about her ambitious attitude and how connection and bringing people together is key to her approach. Community and collaboration are a common thread and the result is a truly beautiful and expressive body of work. ~Wyeth
