We didn’t set out to make a “carbon neutral” t-shirt, we were just trying to cut Responsibili-Tee’s carbon emissions where the impact was greatest: the supply chain. We built these shirts with factory cotton scraps and recycled polyester, and cut and sewed them using solar energy. Plus we don’t squander water on dye—instead, their color comes from cotton waste and solution-dyed polyester. To cool our home planet, we need to do more than offsetting greenhouse gases for the sake of “carbon neutral”. Only after trimming their carbon emissions to near-zero did we purchase offsets to support the Cispata Mangrove Restoration in Colombia. Protecting mangroves is where offsets can do some serious good. So, yeah, these Tees are carbon neutral. But they’re not B.S. ⁠ Photo: @instaclamfunk

Dave Rastovich knows that in summer, you make your own fun. ⁠ ⁠“I love the challenge of days like these, the lack of structure and the bending of rules. Surfing those waves is what I’d imagine playing jazz would be like. The waves were chaotic and wobbly, if they had a time signature it’d be all odd numbers. It wouldn’t be four to the floor; it’d be threes and fives and sevens. It made for an interesting challenge, but occasionally it all came together and hit a note perfectly.” He laughs, recalling time spent on a sandbank close to home putting the Hydrolock boardshort through its paces. ⁠ Video : @liamtheseamonkey @patagoniaaus

A difficult pregnancy and a shift in lifestyle was a lesson in limits and perspective for author Lauren L. Hill (@theseakin). The experience is teaching her to push harder in the ocean, and on land, and to give more of herself to her writing, surfing and community. “Yes, I lost my main surfing sponsor. Yes, my body could never be the same again,” she writes. “None of me could. I felt different because I was chemically and physiologically a different person. And, unexpectedly, that person felt like a more anchored and focused version of myself.” Read “Emergent Seas” on #TheCleanestLine through the link in bio.⁠ Photos: @tedgrambeau, @nathanoldfield, @be_ryder

In @patchos_w’s native Cornwall, Britain’s southwesterly county, the tide swings are huge and the waves can turn on and off in a short manner. “Whilst waiting for that perfect winter, what else to do on a balmy summer’s day but find a spot amongst the ancient granite boulders and have a wee siesta?” jokes photographer Al Mackinnon. ⁠ Photo: @almackinnon

The path to enlightenment begins at the world’s deadliest wave. Gerry Lopez (@gerrylopezsurfboards), aka Mr. Pipeline, is one of surfing’s most enigmatic heroes—a Zen Buddhist on land who built his early career on cutthroat, aggressive surfing. Patagonia Films’ “The Yin & Yang of Gerry Lopez”—directed by award-winning filmmaker Stacy Peralta (@peraltastacy) —follows one of the most influential surfers and surfboard shapers of all time as he brings surfing to new frontiers while pursuing stillness of body and mind. ⁠  ⁠ Find a screening through the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ Film by Stacy Peralta / @peraltastacy and produced by Monika McClure / @monikamcclure⁠

After sudden, torrential downpours caused mass flooding and evacuations across the Hawaiian islands, Malia Lauer took advantage of a break in the storm. “Seeking not the perfect wave; but, a side of the island that wasn’t under a brown advisory,” says photographer Christa Funk. “We wrapped as thick clouds, bringing another deluge, rolled in.” ⁠ Photo: @instaclamfunk
