ReSurf

Wetsuit Program

Give your wetsuit a second life

We repair damaged wetsuits, upcycle wetsuits into new products, and recycle what can’t be saved with our partners.

Drop-off your wetsuit, mail it in, or visit one of our local collection partners!

  • Upcyle

    Upcyle means reusing the raw neoprene as is, without any processing. We collaborate with Canadian makers who transform sections of the wetsuit into new products.

    Our current partners include BATO and Neocycle.

    Calling all creatives! Do you have ideas for upcycling neoprene, whether in sections or ground form? We’d love to hear from you! resurf@surfrider.ca

  • Repair

    We offer in-house repair services from our professional repair technician. Supporting surf schools, rental shops and individuals. We accept repairs in person at our facility or by mail.

    Coming Soon: Warranty Repair Program in Canada. Supporting major wetsuit brands by getting you back in the water as quickly as possible.

  • Recycle

    Recycling means transforming old wetsuits into raw materials ready for a new life. At our facility, we remove all zippers and grind down the neoprene, preparing it to be repurposed into something new.

    All our zippers are recycled with our partner Reclaim Plastics and we ship ground neoprene to Lava Rubber to be manufactured into various mats.
