Ocean Journal

In February, TWOTHIRDS travelled to Morocco. The name is packed with potential, meaning “where the sun sets” in the native Arabic, and to surfers, signposting some of the world’s best lineups. Even so, Morocco still divides opinion. Everybody who had been there already either raved about it, or warned us to stay clear. This made us even more curious as to what we’d find. 

Our team at TWOTHIRDS is not only producing sustainable clothing for you, but also stands completely behind the whole idea and science that for example, the “Fridays for Future” movement and scientists all over the world represent.

WE MADE IT! Thank you for all of your support. We have exceeded our goal by an overwhelming amount!  Together we have taken a step further to preserve the environment. Let’s continue to take care and protect what you love.

Ever since Karl Mackie joined us as a Sentinel in 2012, I had the feeling that I needed to visit Cornwall again for old times sake and to discover it through different eyes.

An introduction to Freediving with our Sentinel Concha Rossler & Ruth Osborn. What is Freediving? Freediving is diving into deep waters on one breath and without any breathing apparatus. Freedivers use inward control, discipline and power to descend into the ocean while holding their breath until they resurface.

After Germany’s reunification the sea really started to flourish and soon we saw more and more lights at the other side of our bay and now you can find beautiful sea villages all along its coastline.

This week we are celebrating our oceans and their protection. The last weeks and months have shown that the world seems to be finally waking up, or at least part of the world, realising that men made climate change is real. 

Republic of Maldives - “Reethi Raajje" ("beautiful Maldives" in Dhivehi, local language) Because we are a the Blue Company and close to the ocean, all our item names come from islands, little and big Jewells in our seas, spread all over our blue planet. 

More or less 8 years ago, we passed on our apartment in Hamburg to my brother, totally overloaded a moving van with our furniture and set out to make our dream come true in the Basque Country.

Our Friends from EcoMar are cleaning beaches since nineteen years and have so far cleaned 17,000 meters of coast line with the help of over 2 million children.We have joined forces with them this Black Week to make a difference together with you for a better future and cleaner beaches. 

This year, Joel Tudor’s Vans Duct Tape Invitational Camp; Festival was held in the north of Spain, in Zarautz (Basque Country). The last time it had been held in Spain was during the Salinas Longboard Festival, in Asturias, back in 2011. It’s been a long wait since then, but it was well worth it.   

After producing in Portugal for many years, it was almost an obligation to get to know the Southern Tip of the country. When our Sentinel Concha joined TWOTHIRDS, the pressure was on. We had to go.  

When Sara and Victor from Superando talk about the excitement of a Stand Up Paddle session, you imagine something beautiful and emotional. You think, there are children laughing, relaxing and excited. But until you experience this, you don't understand the real impact it has on you. 

"The water gives these kids a feeling of freedom and at the same time of connection, a happiness that goes through each cell, each time they get into the water... It is undeniable that the ocean is made for them."– Loreto Gala

There are those moments in life that are difficult to describe. They are so unlike anything else you’ve experienced that they leave you feeling overwhelmed, emotional and dazed. They are larger than words or pictures can capture and somehow greater than just a physical encounter. These are the important ones.

Sad that summer is over and you can not splash around in your favourite element anymore, but also somehow you're looking forward to autumn colours, cosy jumpers, tea and hot chocolates?

At Twothirds, our sentinels are part of our brand. A sentinel is an informal ambassador, creating awareness for the Ocean in a series of subcultures such as art, fashion, surfing, and activism. Representing our leitmotif “We are Ocean”.

Since arriving in Byron Bay last November, we’ve settled into a fairly predictable pattern. Saturdays are crêpe days and Sundays are American style, ‘fat’ pancakes.
