Slowtide has partnered with Un Mar De Colores to create a limited edition towel in an effort to support their mission to cultivate inclusivity and ocean stewardship for children of color and underserved youth in the surfing community.
In addition to the surf community work with children, Un Mar De Colores’ has a wonderful initiative, #RepresentationMatters, that focuses on highlighting ocean oriented BIPOC artists and changemakers to inspire the next generation of ocean stewards, surfers, and watermen/women.
The collaborative Quick-Dry towel features the work of Mau Domingues, a Brazilian visual artist and animator. His work is highly influenced by both urban and coastal counter-culture movements. 100% of the proceeds for this towel will be donated to Un Mar De Colores which provides children with tools, experiences, and opportunities through surf therapy that will shift their perspective on what is possible and reveal what they are truly capable of.
“We’re so stoked on our collab with Slowtide that gives us the ability to use art as activism. Together, we have the power to shift culture globally because the surf industry is so far reaching and ubiquitous. The intentionality behind this product launch is reflected through the environmentally friendly 100% post consumer waste towel. It aligns perfectly with our mission of teaching the next generation the importance of ocean stewardship because after all, “One Ocean Touches All Shores” says Mario Ordoñez, co-founder and Executive Director of Un Mar De Colores.
