This Saturday, April 13, together with the presence of the professional big wave surfer, the Hawaiian Kohl Christensen, as well as Patricio Mekis, a national surfing figure and also executive director of the Punta de Lobos Park, there will be a free testing of surf suits , also free repairs regardless of brand, the screening of the documentary Corazón Salado and to end the day, the music will be performed by Arrayán Valenzuela, national singer-songwriter.
The tour is completely open to the community and free. The magic of repairing the suits will be carried out by the girls from Aloha Surf, who will be present from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., to give the suits a second life. “The invitation is to prepare those clothes and suits that need a new opportunity so that they can continue living adventures and riding waves with you. This is the second stop of the Vuelta al Mar tour, where we are delivering the message: repair is a radical act,” said Benjamín Carvallo, brand and communities manager at Patagonia Chile.
The suits that will be available for testing open to the community are Patagonia’s Yulex, the most environmentally friendly suit, which improved the dyeing of the linings, saving 100 liters of water per suit, a reduction that is equivalent to 86 % in water use compared to conventional dyeing. As the brand states, this new generation of suits is focused on generating a more durable suit and not causing unnecessary damage to the environment. “We want to present this innovation of our suits to the surf and sea community, a joint work between the design and repair team, which improved seams, flexibility and repairability, to be able to continue enjoying the best waves in the world, here in Chile”, concluded Carvallo.
