Buena Onda first encountered The Lab at Bonaroo this past summer.  As fate would have it, The Lab was showcasing at Surf Expo last week.  So after speaking with the Owner Lindsey Barnett.  We decided to do a Buena Onda and The Lab photo shoot.  It turned out great!

Merry Christmas Eve from Buena Onda!  So we were talking to Santa recently and we realized he loves Wayuu Mochilas.  In fact, we found out his "red bag" is actually a Wayuu Mochila!  We hope you were good this year, because Santa only delivers Buena Onda products  to the good girls and boys of the world.

Our New Buena Onda Model

Ilana on the Beach

We would like to introduce our newest Buena Onda model, Ilana Brown!  Ilana is from New York and happened to be visiting Colombia when we were doing our photoshoot.  Below you can read her first hand account of taking great photos for Buena Onda.  

"I ended up hanging out with Kevin all day, modeling his clothes on the beach. I’ve never modeled before and I don’t know that I’ll get the opportunity again, but wow. What an experience. I was not just randomly modeling in a weird way. I was in handmade local clothes that we bought from a local family, laying on the beautiful beach of palomino. I was beside myself at that moment. I was running in the ocean, sitting in the jungle, I was climbing on trees, laying in the sand, my hair was in it’s own world completely, no makeup, no nothing. I don’t know how I looked, but I felt beautiful. The situation, the scenery, the waves and sounds, the Mosquitos and frizzy hair, all of it was just incredible."

Life's A Beach

It's important to remember life is a beach.  At Buena Onda we try to live on that beach.  That's why we believe the perfect beach attire is our Wayuu mochilas, Wayuu dresses, and of course Wayuu wraps.
