Patagonia Wetsuits come to Patagonia Buenos Aires

The Patagonia store in Buenos Aires recently hosted an event to introduce their community to Patagonia’s wetsuits. On hand to describe our technology was Patagonia Ambassador and Argentina native, Mercedes Maidana. Meti presented a video and spoke with people about her career and Patagonia’s wetsuits.

At the conclusion of the eventing, Mimí Maura and Sergio Rotman played some music for the crowd.

About fcd

Almost 25 years after Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard began hammering pitons, Fletcher, Yvon’s son, started Point Blanks (now FCD Surfboards) in a shack next door to the original Iron Works. Like father like son: Fletcher and Point Blanks proceeded to lay-up and destroy hundreds of fiberglass/ foam panels until they found a better, stronger and lighter way to build boards. And, with a group of freethinking surfers and shapers, designed higher-performance boards using the new technology.
