Who doesn`t know him? 11 times world surf champion and a legend in surfing. He carries the title of the youngest and oldest surf world champion. Kelly Slater has done so many unimaginable things and even with his brand, Slater Designs surpasses himself. Slater Designs products are of world-class quality, are sustainable and even ensure a healthier nature through their production.
In order to create the most sustainable surf products, Slater Designs cooperates with several partners. The traction pads were arise in cooperation with BLOOM Foam. BLOOM is a high performance foam made of algae biomass.
The algae for the production of the foam are extracted from fresh water sources which have a overage of algae load. So the skimming of the algae helps to improve the water quality (there) and to bring the ecosystem back into balance. The entire process is ecofriendly and the extracted material is in many ways even better than the conventional pads. Slater Designs speaks of increased durability, improved damping and less weight.
Conclusion: The material of the pads has a natural basis, the production process improves the environment and the quality of the pads is in no way inferior to others.
Slater Designs recently introduced surf leashes in various designs and lengths which are also produced in an equally sustainable and ecofriendly way. Slater Design has teamed up with the Swedish company Revolwe for this product. The basic idea was to convert the amount of plastic that can be found now on many beaches into a high quality surf product. Project successful. Slater Designs leashes are made of recycled old plastic bottles and partly recycled urethane and Yulex natural rubber. In terms of quality, the leashes are also in no way inferior. When Kelly Slater surfs with it, than it can only be a world-class product.
