Imagine surfing your home break or favourite spot without a wetsuit. If that beach is in Tahiti, no problem. Sri Lanka and the Maldives as well, it wouldn’t be too much of a struggle.
If that particular break is in colder climes or subject to changeable seasons, it’s a different story.
It would mean abject numbness, ice-cold discomfort and, if you’re not into self harm, short sessions only.
Without wetsuits our options on, or in, the water are limited.
Thanks to Jack O’Neill, this brand’s founding father, you’re covered.
Surfing the unforgivingly chilly waters of Northern California meant he needed more to make the most of the ocean.
And so, he innovated. It started with a neoprene vest, the wetsuit followed and the innovations haven’t stopped since.
O’Neill led the way and in other modern day aspects of wetsuit design, they are still leading.
Check out our selection of O’Neill wetsuits here.
They are some of the best wetsuits you can ever hope to wear from a brand with an important, and unrivalled, heritage.
