A Team Effort
One of the great things about Odina is that we have such an amazing team behind the product. We are all very passionate about Odina and its success, and we want to share our passion with the world. That's why you will start to notice other Odina team members start to post their own blog posts on the official Odina Swimwear blog. These team members include our director, our designer, our team rep/photographer/surfer aficianado, our operations manager/surfer aficianado, and some of our Odina Girls (the beautiful ladies you see on our site and elsewhere sporting Odina swimwear). And of course you'll get to hear plenty from me, your loyal director of communications.
You may have seen that Aaron posted on the blog about our surf team of Odina Girls just the other week. The Odina Girls' bios are now posted on the website. Just go to "About Us" and then "The Team" to read all about our impressive four-member team.
Right now the Odina staff has been busy at work with one of our newest ventures. It is going to bring our mission of sustainability to a whole new level, and we can't wait to share it with you. So stay tuned for that big announcement sometime later this week.

The Face of Odina
Odina, the face of eco-fashion, has built a solid surf team to stand behind its amazing suits. The team has been working with our designer to make sure that these suits hold up under big waves as well as fit and feel amazing. Two of the team riders come from the big island of Hawaii and surf on a regular basis.
Alison Teal, residing on the big island, is traveling the world working on a T.V. series exploring the more unknown places of the world as well as surfing some unknown spots. She is known as Pinkie because of her all pink surfboard made by San Diego shaper Ned McMahon who also works for Malama foam composites. These foams are based from soy and the manufacturing is done under the most eco-conscious techniques to reduce waste and harsh chemical outputs.
Allie Brown also from the big island, now lives in Encinitas, California, and surfs most commonly just down the street from her house on her 5'10 Synergy surfboard. Synergy being one of the greenest boards in the water, made from 100% recycled EPS foam, bamboo-based fiberglass, bio-based resin, and recycled plastic fins. Southern California hosts some great waves on the right day.
Meghan Dambacher is one of the team riders living in San Diego as well as surfing in Solana Beach. One of the founders of the non-profit Rerip.org, she spends her time promoting sustainability in the action sports industry, organizing surfboard recycling programs, as well as working a center for kids and getting them active in the community.
Filippa Ferrara, our youngest team rider, but one of our most driven, enters surfing contests up and down the coast of California and is starting to plan her trips abroad. She just recently got back from a trip to Nico surfing with Holly Beck and a few other South Bay rippers. Currently in between board sponsors, Filippa is actually riding a board she shaped herself, a fun little fish hybrid that seems to be making barrels for her.

Let's Get It Started
Hey Odina fans,
We just had our first team meeting (well, first official one). It's really exciting to see how things are coming along. The site was officially launched a few weeks ago, and we've gotten a really positive response to it.
The other week I got to join fellow Odina team members at ASR in San Diego. I was like a kid in a candy shop, checking out all of the amazing new fashions, sipping champagne at the runway show, and chatting it up with other eco-friendly businesses. There were some really progressive, eco-friendly companies out there, but there weren't any solely devoted to eco-friendly swimwear fashions like Odina. I'm glad to see we can fill that important niche.
In other news, we have a new member of our Odina Girl surf team. There are some great photos of her in the Odina swimsuits that should be posted on our site and Facebook page soon. It is great to see so many beautiful, eco-conscious women stand behind the Odina product.
I don't want to spoil too much of the fun new stuff that is yet to come with Odina, so I will leave it to my fellow Odina team members to post. But we hope you are enjoying our site. We'd love to get feedback from you on what you think of it and how we can better serve you.
Peace, love, surf,
Danielle

Firing Up the Blog
Surfers, bathing beauties, and fashion connoisseurs,
Welcome to the official blog for Odina Swimwear. This is the place where all members of our team from our fashion designer to our photographer to our surf team will post their ruminations about anything and everything related to sustainability, fashion, surfing, and, most of all, Odina.
I don't want to overwhelm you with too much info, so I'll leave you with this simple welcome. I'll be sure to post more about the history and mission of Odina (don't worry, it won't be any of that boring corporate nonsense that you avoid like the plague). And please visit our site (www.odinasurf.com) often to see our latest designs.
Most of all, we hope we can build a community that brings together surfers, swimmers, sunbathers, nature lovers and everyone in between. Give us your feedback about the site, our suits, and what other ecofashions you'd like to see, and we will do our best to respond and perhaps even incorporate some of your ideas! Mahalo!
