First summer for Surface Athletic has come to an end. But that doesn't mean we're disappearing for 6 months. Stay tuned for announcements because we've got some exciting cold dip meetups and sauna and wellness spa pop-up in the works.

Sun setting on an amazing weekend in Squamish 💙 1,000's of conversations, hundreds of new friends, tons of towels given away + a few $100 bikini winners. Even some surprise sales! Inspired, grateful, and stoked for what’s next. #ClimbAcademy #Squamish #SurfaceAthletic #MadeForMovement

We’ll be at Arcteryx Climb Academy in Squamish. Find Surface Athletic at Pavilion Park all weekend. Stop by for gear demos, exclusive giveaways + a chance to meet the team. Let’s talk performance, movement + life on the water.

You have 1 hour, a swimsuit, and no plans. Where are you going and why?

I'm getting on my bike and peddling to 3rd Beach.

Which water type are you today?
☁️ foggy tidepool
🌊 chaotic rip current
💧 glacier melt
🔥 hot tub with tea

If you could only change one thing about swimwear design across the whole industry, what would it be?

For us it's function over fashion. Not to say that your bikini shouldn't look cute! But it should actually stay on your body when you jump in the water.

#surfaceathletic #madeformovement #bikini

Would you rather:
💧Swim with sea lions in 9°C water
🔥Run 5k on a beach at noon
🥾 Hike up a mountain and jump into a frozen alpine lake
Pick your poison.

#surfaceathletic #madeformovement

Tell us the moment the ocean made you feel small in the best way.
Was it underwater? On a kayak? During a storm? We want to hear about it.

#surfaceathletic #madeformovement #oceanconservation

Is there a single moment you fell in love with being in water?
Childhood memory? Solo trip? Long-distance swim? Tell us your origin story.

#SurfaceAthletic #MadeForMovement #bikini #swimwear #explorebc #adventure

What’s one water-based experience you think everyone should do at least once?
Ocean swim? Glacial plunge? Bioluminescence paddle? Inspire someone.

Who here swims year-round? No wetsuit. No excuses.
Tell us what keeps you going. Or what finally made you stop.

#SurfaceAthletic #MadeForMovement #colddip #bikini #swimwear #explorebc #explorecanada

Tell us your most embarrassing swimsuit-related wardrobe malfunction.
We’ll go first: Surf lesson from a cute guy, and bottoms that did not stay put in rough waves. So distracting when you're trying to focus on popping up and foot positioning! 🥲

#SurfaceAthletic #MadeForMovement #bikini #swimwear

What does your relationship with water look like?

Send us a photo that captures it. Doesn’t have to be epic. Just honest. We’ll feature a few.

#SurfaceAthletic #MadeForMovement #colddip #bikini #swimwear #explorebc #explorecanada

You ever planned your entire vacation around a body of water?

Yeah, us too. Where’d you go? What drew you there?

#SurfaceAthletic #MadeForMovement #bikini #swimwear #explorebc #adventure

Does your gear end up in the water… or the landfill?
Our suits are made from recycled plastic, and our packaging is compostable cellulose. We’re looking for biodegradable, performance-first materials. Know any researchers or suppliers working in this space? Let’s connect.

#sustainablefashion

Who here has done a multi-day trip where the entire point was just getting wet every day?

No phones. No makeup. Just gear, water, campfire, repeat. Tell us your route.

Tag your favorite org doing real, on-the-ground work for the ocean.

We support Surfrider and Greenpeace, but we want to discover more. Small, local, weird, radical? Send them our way.

Let’s crowdsource the best plunge spots in Canada.

Got a secret cold water gem? A river, bay, or glacier-fed lake? Tag it (or hint at it 👀). We’ll go first: Lynn Canyon. Frigid. Magic.

Here’s what went down this month in the business:

✅ Win: After 18 months of development we launched our first collection of ground breaking swimwear just in time for summer!

❌ Miss: It's a challenge to keep up with marketing without UGC coming in.

💡 Lesson: Be more proactive with reach outs!

We've grown up in Howe Sound and never seen as many whales and porpoises as we have in the last few years. Hate to see us going backwards on environmentalism and conservation.
