HOW TO MAKE SURE YOUR WETSUIT FITS RIGHT
  • It should feel like a second skin, but not so tight that it restricts any movement or circulation.
  • Should fit like compression shorts
  • The most important part is to ensure it fits your torso just right.
  • Do not want any excess fabric bunching or hanging from any portion of the body.
  • Make sure the neck piece is snug but not restricting the ability to breathe properly.

Types of Wetsuits

Hyperfreak:  Next level in performance, stretch, and comfort. Featuring the ridiculously light and flexible qualities of TB3X. A range of suits that are not only performance-based but also feature recycled and sustainable materials.


Bahia: Where fashion meets function, the Bahia Series ticks all the boxes whilst packing chic style. A PolarFlex Firewall liner throughout the torso, along with GBS and knee-to-collar taped seams keep this suit toasty warm. These steamers now feature Yulex, a natural plant-based rubber sourced from a responsible supply chain, reducing the carbon footprint of these wetsuits - perfect for the environmentally-conscious surfer.

Reactor: It’s the perfect combination of stretch, durability, and value. Featuring stretchy UltraFlex neoprene through the arms for greater paddling freedom, seamless paddle zones for comfort, and a back zip entry system to make it easy to get in and out. The flatlock stitching & key pocket round out this great value wetsuit.

Epic:  The Epic has many of the same great features as our high-end wetsuits, including 100% UltraFlex neoprene, double seal neck closure, LSD (lumbar seamless design), and re-engineered covert blackout zip. Clean graphics and sharp style lines make the Epic the best value in the industry.

Psycho Tech: Focuses on ultimate warmth and all-out durability with high-performance materials and water-tight double-sealed stitchless seams. Sustainable TB4 firewall technology radiates throughout with TB4 duraskin air firewall in the chest and back to shield against the cold while retaining and recirculating your body heat. Designed to keep you in the water longer, more comfortably, and stoked.

Syndicate: Protects watersport athletes against the cold without compromising mobility. The ultra-thin feel delivers the highest flexibility, like that of a second skin. Hydrophobic and quick drying, the 1.5mm High Stretch Dry-Flex Wetsuit provides the elasticity you want with the warmth you need. This is a high-performance wetsuit, built with THIN neoprene for maximum mobility. It is constructed with glued seams, a hydrophobic face fabric, and an athletic fit to keep you semi-dry when in use. This suit is constructed with high-stretch neoprene that is delicate and requires special care compared to traditional wetsuits. These run small.

BlackTec: The open-cell neoprene material is covered with a special BlackTec coating, which preserves the full flexibility of the material. High-quality neoprene of 1.5-2mm thickness and waterproof seams provides unmatched comfort in cold conditions.
