Sneak peek into Jr. Waterman Camp Session 3 Day 2!

Today our super-shredder students crushed 3.6 miles via SUP, dialed in some pretty sick paddling skills, indulged in a lunch break floatilla, free dove to ~30 feet, climbed the dune, and went home with big smiles, beaming confidence, and tired bones!

Sooooo good!!!

Dive in & join us for our final session of the season the week of August 17th — link in bio! 🌬️

A full year in the making.

This piece is a tribute to this special place — the land, the water, and all the layers of life it holds. The piece was inspired by and gives a nod to the spirit of “Aloha,” a philosophy of kindness, compassion, and respect that moved us as we built this collection, even as this shirt’s heart and story belong here, to Sleeping Bear Dunes.

A massive thank you to Nate Knoth for his devotion to this project and the gift of his illustration, and to our partners in Marquette who brought it to life alongside us through months of fabric testing, and fit development. A whole lot of love went into this one — we hope you feel it too. 🩵
