At the age of 31, Ryf is in the prime of her career, and deboer is excited to partner with the Swiss athlete as she pursues a fifth Ironman and 70.3 world title. “Ryf has raised the bar for women in the sport, and she makes plenty of the pro men nervous whenever she’s on the start line,” says Alex de Boer, co-founder of deboer wetsuits.We’ve seen how hard Ryf work’s day-in and day-out to get the best version of herself to the start line. Seeing that drive motivates us to ensure we are providing her with the best equipment for race day.” In 2019,  you can expect to see Ryf using the Fjord 1.0 and Flōh 1.0 wetsuits, and the Tsunami swimskin.
