Project Overview
THE CHALLENGE
WSMS Surf Art Music Camp was founded to create a more inclusive surf culture while educating young surfers about ocean conservation. The camp needed high-quality, sustainable rash guards and apparel that would align with their values—providing durability, sun protection, and eco-conscious materials while reflecting the vibrant energy of their community.
OUR SOLUTION
We collaborated with WSMS to design a custom collection of rash guards and retail apparel made from recycled polyester, preventing plastic waste from entering the ocean. The designs feature bright, playful patterns that capture the camp’s joyful spirit, while the high-performance fabric ensures comfort and flexibility for young surfers. Through this partnership, we’ve helped WSMS continue its mission of making surfing more accessible while reinforcing their commitment to protecting the ocean.
About
WSMS Surf Art Music Camp
WSMS Surf Art Music Camp is more than just a surf camp—it’s a movement to make surfing more inclusive and accessible to the next generation. Founded by Alec Zappone in Saint Augustine Beach, Florida, WSMS was created to foster a supportive and creative environment where kids can connect with the ocean through surfing, art, and music.
Beyond surfing, WSMS teaches students about ocean conservation and the rich cultural roots of surfing, incorporating hands-on art projects using recycled materials and ukulele sessions to honor the traditions of early surfers.
WSMS Surf Art Music Camp embodies the values of respect and love for the ocean. Their programs instill these principles in young surfers, teaching them to care for marine ecosystems while embracing the joys of surfing, art, and music. OCEANR is proud to support this mission by providing sustainable apparel solutions that help keep plastic out of our oceans.
Collaboration Highlights
Design Features
The WSMS collection was designed to reflect the camp’s spirit of joy, inclusivity, and creativity. The designs feature the brand pattern and colours that appeal to all age groups, reinforcing the fun and welcoming environment of the camp.
Eco-Friendly Techniques
OCEANR’s sustainable production process ensured that each rash guard contributed to reducing plastic waste. The garments were crafted using recycled polyester derived from post-consumer plastic bottles, giving new life to materials that would otherwise pollute the environment.
Product Range
The WSMS collection includes custom rash vests, changing ponchos, swim sets and accessories designed for both campers and instructors. The apparel is engineered for comfort, durability, and maximum sun protection, ensuring optimal performance in the water.
Recycled Materials
Each WSMS rash guard is made from recycled polyester, repurposing approximately 12 plastic bottles per garment.

“Through collaborating with the designers at OCEANR, my vision for WSMS Surf Camp apparel came to life—and then some. I wanted a design that brought smiles to our campers, stood out on the water, and, most importantly, aligned with our commitment to protecting the ocean. I’m very grateful for the crew at OCEANR.”
