Regenerative Technology

3D Printing

Helen of the Sea is collaborating with Michigan Technological University and the University of Delaware to develop 3D-printed surfboard fin prototypes. This partnership leverages advanced additive manufacturing techniques to create customized, sustainable fins that enhance performance and reduce environmental impact. By harnessing solar energy to power these printers, Helen of the Sea can reduce carbon emissions by 70% compared to traditional surf gear manufacturing processes.

Injection Molding

Helen of the Sea is pioneering sustainable innovation in the surf gear industry by leveraging portable injection molding technology to repurpose ocean plastic into durable, high-performance products. This approach allows us to create sustainable surf gear locally, reduce waste, and quickly test new designs - supporting our mission to regenerate marine ecosystems through innovative, eco-conscious manufacturing.
