Stingray

In under a year, Stingray has been blowing through the open water swimming arena like a hurricane. Born out of Tampa Bay, Florida, home of the Rays and habitat for stingrays, this brand is aptly named. Inspired by the graceful glide of the stingray, this brand launched the Stinger 2.0, a high-performance wetsuit that allows even novice swimmers to effortlessly cut through open water. Since its first product launch, Stingray has expanded its product line to include inflatable paddle boards and waterproof accessories.

Bound by its mission to deliver exceptional, high-quality products without breaking the bank, Stingray aims to continually create unique, high-performance water gear to be available to a wider audience. Do not mistake its open availability for lack of care. Stingray keeps top-notch quality at the forefront of every new product on its design board. The bold designs scattered throughout its entire product line echo the crazy passion that lies at the heart of this brand. Founder, Rich Allen, has a 21-year professional triathlete career under his belt. He is no stranger to open water sports and his love for the ocean speaks through the Stingray brand.

Beyond its great product line, Stingray takes a serious part in ocean conservation efforts. 10% of its annual profit is dedicated to sustaining marine life. The staff also devotes three days of paid time to cleaning the beaches and waterways in Tampa Bay, Florida, every year. The company further takes a stand by utilizing recycled cardboard for shipping and is currently designing a board made from recycled PVC.
