Colored by the coast . 🌞🌊 The vibes are high, the days are longer, and we’re ready for all the travel, adventure, and time outside this season brings. The color of Hazy Sea beneath the midday sun. The sun-baked Coriander hills in the distance. We find colors in a lot of places, and for our newest collection, it was traveling up the coast that gave us the most inspiration. 🎨 #FindYourOuterknown

APEX Evolution: how the best trunks on earth got better. @kellyslater Making surf trunks for the 11X World Champion, @kellyslater , is kind of like making a shoe for Michael Jordan. The GOAT’s only gonna wear the best, and the best takes time. So, over the past several years, we dialed in every detail and delivered on Kelly’s precise design requests: better no-slip braided drawcords, an enhanced waistband that cinches without bunching, and reinforced ultrasonic-welded seams where it matters most. “𝘼𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙙𝙞𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙨, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙣𝙠𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙫𝙚.

Summer ‘26 Director’s Cut ft. @matchullsummers . 📸   We recently worked with New Orleans raised photographer, Matchull Summers, to bring our Spring/Summer collection to life. With deep roots in the skate community, Matchull has settled in LA by way of New York, where we met him out in the water while surfing. We just loved his run-and-gun approach to photography, and Matchull has a keen eye for capturing the truth in the people he shoots and their surroundings. We asked Matchull for some words and to pick some of his favorite images from the shoot, swipe to dive behind the lens with him. #FindYourOuterknown

Everything under the sun, in and out of the water.   From the start, the vision was simple: create a better-feeling performance shirt. Elevated materials and construction – nothing overly thin, clingy, or shiny like the rest. Designed for long days in the sun, but still polished enough to go straight into whatever’s next.   These endlessly versatile, technical layers are buttery soft with a breathable feel that lets air move through and dries fast. Crafted from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester with UPF 50+ sun protection, quick dry, moisture-wicking and silver-free anti-odor properties. Sun protection, elevated, so you can get out there and explore more.   #FindYourOuterknown

Longer sessions = more waves = more fun 🌞 🌊   Made for the water women and women-of-the-water alike, our new Surf Suit has quickly become a favorite for warmer days around the water – full coverage up top, complete freedom of movement, and an easy front-zip for quick cool downs between sessions, beach hangs, and everything in between. 💙   Surfing will always be engrained in who we are, and we’ll always keep chasing ways to make time in the water feel even better through the products we build.   Swipe through to hear how @sageerickson , @maliamanuel , and @andersenlisa are enjoying their new Surf Suits so far this season.    #FindYourOuterknown

The Story of Journey Fish.   An artistic collaboration among friends @mcfetridge @hypetypestudio @bonfirebeachkids   Diving deeper into what “Find Your Outerknown” means, we began exploring its connection to nature and water. At the end of the day, our mission is to make the most versatile clothing for the human adventure—and for us, surfing is a big part of that experience.   What started as a conversation between our Creative Director John Moore (@bonfirebeachkids ), Designers Paul Hutchison (@paulhutchison ) & Ross Burwell (@ross.burwell ) of @hypetypestudio , and prolific artist Geoff McFetridge (@mcfetridge ) turned into an artistic collaboration. With a shared love of surfing as their common thread, and sketches featuring creatures of earth and space, they ultimately coalesced around the fish.   Perhaps the ‘Journey Fish’ is the story of life on Earth itself. If we are former sea dwellers, evolved into modern humans, it’s no wonder we’re drawn back to the warm embrace of the ocean—a full-circle reunion.   The Journey Fish symbolizes a rewarding, full existence. Traveling the world or just down the street, with a deeper connection to the people you meet, the food you taste, the music you hear—while absorbing the style cues and artistic influences you pick up along the way.   It represents a life of adventure, environmental accountability, and good times.   The de facto icon of the infinitely curious—it’s a badge for those on the quest to “Find Your Outerknown” every damn day.   #FindYourOuterknown

Outerknown Origins: Portugal, 2014. @kellyslater When we look back at our moments that shaped who we are today, our trip to Portugal with @kellyslater and @toddglaser stands out as a defining one. This trip set the standard for what we mean when we challenge ourselves to go The Furthest Reaches. Kelly landed surfing’s first 540. At the same time, we had early iterations of product in hand—testing, wearing, and collecting real-time feedback to push them further. Head to our link in bio to dive deeper into the story.
