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. Giving your wetsuit a second life is easier than ever!

ReSurf Address: 1685 Peninsula Road (Blue Barrel)

Hours: Tuesday to Saturday, 10am-6pm

  • 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

  • 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.

Supporting our community

We carefully inspect every wetsuit we receive. If it still has life left in it, we’ll repair it and either donate it to local programs or resell it at a discounted rate through our facility.
