Calling all surfers! The Wetsuit Repair Tour is on the road, and we’re bringing free wetsuit and clothing repairs* to a spot near you. We’ll also be hanging around for a full weekend of workshops, film screenings, and surf stoke at selected stops along the way. Catch us across the UK, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Switzerland and Portugal for free repairs on your busted gear, with specialist wetsuit repairs for those leaky seams, run-ins with fins, and everything in between.

 

Fixing the stuff you already own and using it for many sessions reduces overall consumption, which means less waste and more surf. Win-win. So, come on by with any clothes that need fixing, learn a few repair skills, or just say hello and hang out.

*And remember: First come, first served, one clean item per person. Wetsuits and clothing only, no shoes, luggage or leashes. Capacity is limited, so swing by early to beat the crowds and avoid disappointment (and more missed waves).

September 12-13

Scheveningen, Netherlands

EVENT HIGHLIGHTS

Come join us at Scheveningen Surf Festival for a weekend of repairs, wetsuit testing, film screenings, and more. Our ambassadors Nienke Duinmeijer and Frank Solomon will be hanging out for waves and clinics, and there’ll be plenty of talks to attend across both days. We’ll also have upcycling workshops to give used neoprene a new life. All events are free or donation based, with proceeds going to the Doggerland Foundation.
