Hello Truli Awesome Wetsuit Community! This update is to fill you in on the current production situation of your pre-order (or keep you in the loop if you were a contributor!).  We are still on schedule for production completion within a few days of the original finish date of July 7th; however, the transit schedule for the inventory to depart the production facility in Cambodia and travel to Ontario, Canada remains unpredictable.  Some have said it could take months... The manufacturer, along with our Canadian broker, have been preparing and arranging for the transit of the inventory to Ontario for...

Sunday, May 9, 2020 I've always approached my wetsuit business with a "figure it out" as I go mentality.  Live and learn.  Move and grow.  Sink or swim (both of which are a-ok with me, as you can imagine)!  There have been lots of calculated risks that sometimes I think I moved too slowly on; but then I also look back and recognize that I just really needed to go through each stage and face each challenge the best I could.  And, Man!  I've really come a long way!

Happy Happy New Year! Lots has happened since the close of the campaign on November 30, 2020 and I wanted to give you all an update on what’s been going on and what to expect in the coming months.  You can read all of the details in my complete blog post here: Post-Crowdfunding Campaign Update and Welcome 2021! In short though, I was only able to order a limited supply of inventory from the funds that were raised through the campaign.  I purchased selected sizes from the Truli-Ful the Beautiful design as well as the Truli-Capri (including the 2 new...
