When I go surfing I enjoy the purity of being outside, the natural power of the ocean, and rippin’ some sick barrels. However, I despise swimming through plastic, trash, and that rainbow colored slimy film. That being said, why be a floating piece of future debris? The Body Glove ECO suit is your way of giving back to the earth that supplies you with waves. In both 4/3mm and 3/2mm options Body Glove offers the first eco-friendly wet suit. Utilizing BIO STRETCH rubber and the ECO FLEX exterior you can have peace of mind knowing you are wrapped in 100% non-petroleum based material. The ECO FLEX and BIO STRETCH are extremely stretchable materials that are completely non-toxic and require 1/10th the amount of energy to manufacture compared with normally constructed wetsuits. Body Glove ECO suits consider the bigger picture with this first of a kind sustainable suit.

About the Author:

Doug is in perpetual motion and a self-proclaimed adventure junkie, that has had a longtime love affair with the great outdoors.

“I love being a part of the active world. The stuff that blows my hair back is adventure (all shapes and sizes), photography, mountaineering, Muay Thai, and seeing natural beauty in all its forms. The living earth is the framework on which I build my life and free time. My ideal trip would be BASE jumping at Sotano de Las Golandrinas in Mexico (closest I could come to skydiving through the jungle!). I work towards keeping it real, green, and healthy. ”

Doug is the co-founder of LiveOAK, although he says he didn’t know what a blog was until a couple months after he started.
