Designed for life in the water from diving and freediving to surface watersports, the Surface is made with certified sustainable natural rubber and recycled inner and outer linings.
Designed for life in the water from diving and freediving to surface watersports, the Surface is made with certified sustainable natural rubber and recycled inner and outer linings.
The minimal design features a mini chest zipper, eliminating the need for a back zip, radically improving mobility and minimizing the opportunity for water to enter the suit though the teeth of the zip. The flexible rubber of the suit provides freedom of movement and the inner ankle and wrist seals ensure that suit flush is minimized.
Perfect for snorkeling and freediving, this suit is also suitable for other sports including stand up paddleboarding and open water swimming due to the unrestricted nature of the design.
Using Yulex Pure™, a 100% plant based alternative to neoprene, the Surface is lined with recycled polyester made from post-consumer plastic bottles. Seams have been blindstitched and bonded with water-based glue, delivering comfort from a suit designed to have minimal impact on the ocean.
What Makes this Product Ocean Positive?
Yulex Pure™ is FSC® Certified, ultra-pure natural rubber made in the USA. The plants are grown without artificial irrigation systems and the materials are processed with recycled water. Even the waste plant material after the rubber extraction process is used as biomass fuel for electricity generation. The lining fabrics are created from ocean-bound plastic bottles, recycled and spun into polyester yarn. Water-based glues are used to bond the foam to the fabrics and every care is taken to minimize the environmental impact of this product.

The use of recycled materials, such as old fishing nets, in collaboration with Ghostnets UK, shows great consistency with the above standards. The same goes for the use of Econyl fabrics, an Italian company specializing in recycled fabrics made from recycled plastic.
Since neoprene has an amazing performance in water sports, the use of fuel oil and therefore supporting oil drilling is not what we want as sea and nature lovers. The fourth element we use for our wetsuits is Limestone and Yulex Pure Neoprene.
Development never stops, so even the new REC FINS, which are made of 97% recycled material, can be recycled again. So here you see the whole life cycle of a product, and the end of life is the beginning of a new life.

RF - when 20 years of pioneering work in the field of underwater thermal protection meets freediving performance.
Maximise your freedom in the water, just focus on your breath. Forgot you are wearing any equipment and reach your limit.
One of the key ingredients of neoprene, Eco Carbon Black, is recycled by our wetsuit factory from post-consumer scrap tyres. This significantly reduces energy consumption and cuts CO2 emissions by 200g per wetsuit.
During the neoprene production process, limestone is used to replace petrochemicals to form rubber chips. You achieve the same performance as traditional neoprene, but with way less environmental impact.
After the neoprene creation process, the redundant trimmed materials will be recycled and reused in the mixing process to produce more neoprene sheets. Overall huge amounts of raw materials are saved, energy consumption is reduced and waste water and air emissions are minimised during production.
Dope-Dyed Yarn
The yarn in this garment is dope-dyed, a process of infusing dye pigments into a molten plastic solution to produce coloured yarns. This saves vast amounts of water whilst reducing energy consumption and water pollution.
