Wetsuit Program

Give your wetsuit a second life

ReSurf repairs damaged wetsuits, up-cycles wetsuits into new products, and recycles what can’t be saved.

  • Recycle

    ReSurf transforms old wetsuits into processed second-life materials ready for a new life. At ReSurf HQ, we separate hardware components in-house & grind down neoprene with our granulator to prep materials for next steps. Neoprene is processed and repurposed into something new with various industry partners. Neoprene hardware is additionally diverted from landfill and recycled.
