ABOUT ROKA SPORTS
ROKA was founded in 2011 by two former All-American swimmers from Stanford University, who, after being frustrated by the offering on the market, set out to make the fastest wetsuits on the planet. After two years of intense R&D, and testing by athletes of all abilities, ROKA launched its patent-pending Maverick wetsuit, Viper swimskin and SIM short training lines in 2013.
ROKA products were immediately sought out by elite and developing swimmers alike. Professional athletes in ROKA finished First Out of the Water at back-to-back IRONMAN® World Championships, IRONMAN 70.3® World Championships, and ITU WTS Grand Finals, as well as many other races around the world. In 2014, ROKA athletes Javier Gómez and Gwen Jorgensen won three World Championship titles. ROKA is also the Official Swim Sponsor for all US IRONMAN® races as well as the IRONMAN® World Championship.
ROKA is based in Dallas, Texas with employees in Boulder, Colorado and Southern California.
