Patch-the-planet (or your fav vintage piece) with this limited-edition, kelp-restoring patch - featuring the inspired brushstrokes of waterman/artist Britt Tobia - ‘Help California’s Kelp’
Every patch sold will fund the restoration and protection of Giant Kelp, just off of the Palos Verdes Peninsula in Los Angeles County - in partnership with The Bay Foundation.
California's Kelp forests have been disappearing - rapidly. Every Help California's Kelp hat sold fund the restoration of 10 sq ft of giant kelp of the coast of Palos Verdes with our project partner - The Bay Foundation.
Diverted from landfill
Hats destined for the landfill were donated by a major Californian surf brand. Old patches removed and new patches made.
Art from Britt Tobia
Working with surf-art curator Charles Adler, we partnered with San Clemente, CA artist Britt Tobia to create the hat's art.
Patched - Slightly Choppy
Help California's Kelp patch and internal branding stitched by the crew from Slightly Choppy in Newport Beach, CA
We took a trip to the Palos Verdes kelp reforestation project with our partners, The Bay Foundation - a world-class ecosystem restoration project, right outside Los Angeles. Seeing is believing - and yes, we also saw whales.
