Surf Poncho Enthusiasts No Longer Look Like Harry Potter Characters

The surf poncho is like a snuggie for surfers — A piece that once lived in, cannot be lived without. The comfortable coverage shield eyes from the occasional moon and skin from harsh sunlight.   

Wearing a poncho in public used to be a statement—  it meant the surfer had chosen comfort and performance above all else. With heavy strips of terry cloth fiber hanging at their wasteside— a committed surfer sported the dementor look into grocery stores, restaurants, and even classrooms.

Yeah, onlookers winced, flinched, and even laughed— but never changed into wetsuits at a comparable speed.

Kassia Meador, a culture shifter and wetsuit designer, created a new collection to elevate the world surf snuggie fashion. On June 3rd, she teamed up with Slowtide to curate a series of visually appealing changing ponchos and towels. 

Inspired by her trips, the collection is hopeful, earth-toned, and 100% sustainably sourced. 

The material absorbs 4x its weight in water, dries 2x faster than traditional cotton, so board bags and mums love it.
