Winter's Dawn | #WhereItTakesYou

A relationship with the sea is one of give and take. It gives us a landscape to escape to, for play and adventure. In return we fight to protect it in our actions and words.
​

Our Ambassadors put the new winter range through it's paces on Ireland's wild Atlantic coast.

WOMEN OF THE SEA | FINISTERRE WOMEN’S WETSUIT TESTER CAMP

At the end of another harsh winter spent in cold water, we gathered our family of committed wetsuit testers together to give valuable feedback and insights into the Finisterre Nieuwland Works Wetsuit Programme.

Thawing out and as a bit of a knees up, we shared stories, a few beers and traded waves with Ambassador Easkey Britton and wetsuit designer, Mat D'Ascoli.

Thanks to all involved.

Field Notes - Spring 18

At the dawning of a new season and the start of our 15th year, our founding commitments to product, environment and people have never been more true to who we are. This spring, we cast light on programmes that sit at the heart of what we do: a commitment to eradicate single-use plastics from our business by the end of 2018; exciting progress on our wetsuit recycling programme that has seen us recruit a full-time wetsuit recycler; our continued development of our own recycled, down-free insulation fill; our totally FC-free waterproof collection, and our support of women in surf as we develop our first women’s wetsuit through our wetsuit testing programme.

IN SEARCH OF SILENCE.

FINDING AOIBHNEAS

Finisterre friends Sophie Bradford, Hannah Stocks and Ashley Beer headed to Donegal to test our new women’s tester suits. Along the way they found fun, contentment and even a few waves; this is their creative result.

“We watch the swell lines marching down the coast, the offshore wind sends sprays of water dancing off the back of each wave, mounds of water moving into the bay. Hoods pulled up, hands stinging in the icy winds. The sun warms our faces as the spray kisses our skin.”
