Our Lifeline
We’re passionate about pushing boundaries and making the world’s most premium headwear, but we’re also deeply committed to helping giveback and preserve the natural environments that inspire us and allow us to live. That’s why we’re proud to announce our collaboration with Coral Gardeners, an organization on the front lines of protecting and restoring the world’s coral reefs.
Who are the Coral Gardeners?
The name does make it pretty easy to guess exactly what they do. But how they do it, why and to what extent will really blow your mind. First you need to understand the importance of our coral reefs. These are the most biodiverse and valuable ecosystems on our planet and sadly, they are in peril of going extinct by 2050. Coral reefs are the lifeline of the ocean, providing food, shelter and protection for thousands of marine species. Without them ecosystems would collapse, which would have a devastating impact on the planet as a whole. The Coral Gardeners team is on a mission to make sure that does not happen by revolutionizing ocean conservation and creating a global movement to save the world’s coral reefs through active reef restoration, awareness and innovative solutions developed at their own CG labs.
Joining the Cause
We’re rooted in the outdoor lifestyle, and in particular, enjoying the oceans, lakes and waterways we have on our planet - that’s why we made our HYDRO Collection. The ocean is a major source of inspiration for us and right in our backyard when it comes time to play, whether it’s a quick surf before work or relaxing Summer day with the fam, we spend our free time in and around it. When we learned of the incredible work Coral Gardeners was doing, we knew we had to get involved. Their mission aligns with our values of sustainability, innovation and community and we know together we can help make a bigger impact in saving our world’s oceans.

We designed this HYDRO A-Game with the Coral Gardeners team with a purpose. Proceeds from this hat directly support Coral Gardeners reef restoration and innovation projects to fight the battle against our coral reefs going extinct. To date they have planted and restored over 100,000 corals, let’s join them on their mission to reach a goal of planting 1,000,000 climate resistant corals by the end of 2025.
We hope this partnership goes beyond a product collaboration, it’s about raising awareness and taking action to safeguard such an important and valuable ecosystem to our planet.
