STYLE GUIDE

*All styles are fitted to hug the body, as this makes for the most effective rashguard, but with plenty of elasticity and stretch for comfort.

FINLEY
- This the right style for anyone who:
- feels that they have wider hips and narrower shoulders
- feels that they have a figure that might be described as 'pear-shaped', 'hour glass-shaped', or 'apple shaped'.
-may or may not have breasts
(Similar to a traditional 'womens' rashguard cut, but you do not need to be or identify as female to wear it.)

MILO
- This is the right style for anyone who:
- feels that they have broader shoulders than they do hips
- feels that they have a long body
- feels that they have a figure that might be described as 'straight up and down'
-may or may not have breasts
(Similar to a traditional 'mens' rashguard cut, but you do not need to be or identify as male to wear it.)

SIZING GUIDE

*Rashguards are true to your normal T-shirt size. If you find yourself in-between sizes, we recommend picking the larger size as the rashguards are form fitting.

Purpose

"Project ‘Hiu’, Hiu being the Indonesian word for Shark, is an initiative which aims to provide alternative income to fishermen in one of the largest shark fisheries in Indonesia, and the world. By hiring the shark fishing boats and locals that man them, we sought to engage the fisherman in a very different role. Tourism. A natural, alternative income that simultaneously and effectively protects sharks. Project Hiu is founded on the recognition that the very solution to saving sharks, lay with the men raised to kill them." -Project Hiu

Regulation & Global Demand Reduction

"Accompanying our eco-tourism model, we also aim to focus on addressing the intangible root cause of this underlining crisis, the demand and poorly regulated shark fin trade.

By supporting Project Hiu you will be helping equip a team of filmmakers and scientists to expose and monitor threatened marine species, unethical operations and over fished ecosystems.

Project Hiu aims to address this issue by educating the end consumer on two main issues, the toxicity of shark meat and the profound strain and detriment being inflicted to livelihoods above and below the surface as a result of existing demand." -Project Hiu 

Mission

Our mission address three critical issues: (1) the racial and socioeconomic achievement gap that undermines our ideals of freedom, equality and opportunity; (2) limited or restricted sense of youth agency and voice; and (3) cultivating the next generation of social conscious divers, scientists, conservationists and planetary stewards.

About

"The Sea Turtle Conservancy, formerly known as the Caribbean Conservation Corporation, is the world’s oldest sea turtle research and conservation group. An international nonprofit 501(c) 3 organization, Sea Turtle Conservancy was founded in 1959 by world-renowned sea turtle expert Dr. Archie Carr to save sea turtles from eminent extinction through rigorous science-based conservation. Headquartered in Florida, the organization carries out worldwide programs to conserve and recover sea turtle populations through research, education, advocacy and protection of the natural habitats upon which they depend. Over the course of nearly 60 years, Sea Turtle Conservancy’s research programs have yielded much of what is now known about sea turtles and the threats they face, and the organization is applying this knowledge to carry out the world’s most successful sea turtle protection and recovery programs." -The Sea Turtle Conservancy
