The Making of the Apex Evolution Trunks

Three years in the making, this is the second generation of Kelly Slater's signature Apex trunk. https://www.outerknown.com/pages/apex-evolution Continual progression is in our brand’s lifeblood, so it’s only natural that we were inspired to take the most high-performance trunk ever made — and make it even better. We delivered on Kelly’s precise design requests: better no-slip braided drawcords, an enhanced waistband that cinches without bunching, and reinforced ultrasonic-welded seams where it matters most. Made with Recycled Fishing Nets With our minds forever on the sea, we also teamed up with our friends at Bureo for their matchless NetPlus® material made from recycled fishing nets. This yielded a truly responsibly made trunk with a little more substance than the first APEX—without compromising any performance qualities.
