The Seavibes brand is centered around a young and well-known Yogi, Jaysea DeVoe. At the age of 12, she completed her yoga teacher training course and became the youngest certified yoga instructor in the United States. Not stopping there, she went on to get her certification as a Stand Up Paddle board Yoga instructor which made her the youngest in the world! Jaysea, now age 15, teaches weekly in her home town of Encinitas, California. She is inspired by the Sea and themes her classes around it. Jaysea has taught Yoga classes as far away as Toronto, Canada and Hawaii. Now, she is an entrepreneur starting her own youthful women’s Yoga/Surf brand called Seavibes and hand-makes beautiful jewelry all inspired by the Sea. Check out the whole line of Ocean inspired yoga wear.

Awesome Surf-fur Customer Review January 23, 2017 05:39
“Several years ago (3 or 4), I was looking for a replacement for my fleece lined swim parka that did double duty as a barn coat when feeding the horses or out walking the dogs on to to cold Eastern PA days. A web search for swim coats brought up the Surf-fur waterproof and windproof parka. It is long with a hood plus it is waterproof, windproof and roomy enough for an extra down coast underneath when the morning temps dropped tot he teens or beow. It was love at first wear and continues to be my go to warm coat. The material has worn well and still looks almost new after 3-4 seasons of moderately heavy use.
Last Fall, I was in the market for a warm jacket. Since I really like the Original Surf-fur Waterparka, I checked out the website to see if there was anything new. To my delight, the SurfCheck Hoodie had been added and it was available in red! It has been my favorite work (mobile veterinary practice) and play with the dogs coat through the Wimter. It is also warm, waterproof, windproof, wears well and is very classy looking.
Fit: The hoodie is cut narrow around the hips. Think long surfer legs with narrow waist and hips. Consider buying a size up if you are a woman with a few curves. The medium long parka fits me with some room to spare. The medium hoodie measured 34 inches around the hips. It is a bit skimpy for a 5’9″ woman with hips a bit over 34″.
Bottom line: excellent products for work and play in cool to cold weather, whether or not you surf!”
