We think turning 40 is a cause for celebration. And this year, as Earth Day marks its 40th birthday, we’re celebrating with the introduction of our very first 100% organic cotton tee, featuring a “Love Our Planet� graphic created by the winner of our Design-A-Tee contest, Maria Felix. A portion of the proceeds from this limited-edition tee benefits the Surfrider foundation, a non-profit grassroots organization dedicated to protecting our world’s oceans, waves and beaches.
