**WE NEED YOUR OBSERVATIONS. NOT YOUR COMPLIMENTS.**

We are unbelievably excited to launch the Fiona Field Research Unit — our attempt at making better gear by handing it over to people who are willing to tell us exactly what's wrong with it.

We're a small company. We're learning as we go. And while we're pretty damn proud of the things we've made, we know there's always room to make them better.

So we're putting together a small crew of researchers to help us do exactly that.

**CYCLE 001/// — ONSHORE SERIES BOARDSHORTS**

We're selecting four people to put our first boardshorts through real-world conditions. Surfing, fishing, paddling, swimming, running, sitting around doing absolutely nothing. Whatever your version of a day outside looks like.

You'll receive the gear at no cost. In return, we're asking for a few weeks of actual use, some photographs, and honest, detailed feedback.

Tell us what you love. Tell us what drives you crazy. Tell us if the waistband sucks, the pocket is useless, or if we somehow managed to get something right.

We're listening.

No professional credentials required. No follower minimum. No obligation to post about us or say nice things.

Just people who give a damn about the equipment they use.

**APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN.**
Application Cycle Closes October 23rd

Head to the Field Research Unit through the link in our bio.

We make it. You break it. We make it better.
