Why you’ll love it

Un Mar de Colores – An Ocean of Colors. Diversity is the name of the game below the ocean surface, and we believe it should be just as diverse above. As a community of surfers ourselves, we’re stoked about our newest Collabs for Kindness and know you’ll love it too! 

Whether you’re paddling out for dawn patrol or prefer watching from the beach, help create Waves of Change with the purchase of this inspiring tee made using GOTS standards. Every tee purchased gives 100% of proceeds to Un Mar de Colores, an organization cultivating inclusivity, diversity, and ocean stewardship through surf therapy for children of color and underserved youth. 

We got on board with artist DJ Javier, who created the artwork to represent greater diversity on the waves. Rock this tee and support diversity in the lineup.

About the artist, DJ Javier 

DJ Javier (He, Him) self describes as Filipino and an American designer and artist. He works as a traditional graphic designer, creating logos, apparel, and giving creative direction, as well as a painter and muralist. DJ was born in Santa Barbara, where he currently lives by the beach with his wife and son, Duke. He has a degree in graphic design from Azusa Pacific College in Los Angeles. Growing up drawing and painting, he’s been able to merge graphic design with fine art, carving out his own visual language that’s unique to him. 

He met the Un Mar de Colores Team as the result of a mural commissioned by a Patagonia store in Cardiff. The Un Mar de Colores message immediately resonated with DJ—he’s a person of color who didn’t discover swimming or surfing until his late teen years. 

His art is marked by the prolific use of vibrant colors and tones—using color in a way that represents diversity, without typifying people. The Waves of Change design represents unity within diversity. It communicates an overarching theme of celebration—that we’re all on one board, moving together, within our differences.

One ocean touches all shores. Un Mar de Colores aims to bridge the socio-economic gap in the surfing community by providing accessibility and creating an inviting and inclusive space for personal exploration and expression so individuals nurture confidence, build community, and cultivate a lifelong passion for ocean stewardship. Un Mar de Colores’ dream is to create an inviting and inclusive space in the surfing community. They want to provide children with tools, experiences, and opportunities that will shift their perspective on what is possible and reveal what they are truly capable of.
