A short while later, Jake entered a pitch competition at his university, armed with his and his sister’s idea to transform plastic waste into sustainable beach-wear. He won the competition and took home a $20,000 prize. With that money, they funded their first limited run of beachwear made from recycled plastic bottles.

Eight years after that university pitch competition, Fair Harbor has repurposed more than 27,000,000 plastic bottles, ensuring cleaner beaches and pristine summer memories for future generations. Not to mention outfitting thousands of folks with some incredibly comfortable trunks.

On top of repurposing nearly a dozen single use plastic bottles for each pair, The Anchor and Bayberry Trunk do away with that uncomfortable mesh lining that make your boys feel like the catch of the day, and replaces it with a Responsibly built BreezeKnit™ liner that wicks moisture, dries quick and ends uncomfortable chafing, no matter how hard you hit the surf. Check out everything the Turning Tide Capsule has to offer and gear up for a breezy summer in the surf or on the turf.
