Wetsuits

We’re stoked to now offer our customers two options when it comes to wetsuits.

CORE Range – Yulex® Natural Rubber
Our new CORE range is made with Yulex® natural rubber, sourced from Forest Stewardship Council®-certified suppliers by the Rainforest Alliance. We’ve been chasing Yulex for years, and we’ve finally made it happen. The best part? It’s just as soft, buttery, flexible, and warm as our previous suits.

Japanese Yamamoto Limestone Neoprene
The rest of our suits are crafted from premium Japanese Yamamoto limestone neoprene, derived from limestone instead of petrochemicals. This material is renowned for its longevity and exceptional quality, thanks to world-class Japanese craftsmanship. Even better, the Yamamoto factory now runs on 100% renewable energy, reducing its manufacturing footprint.

Why Two Materials?
For full transparency, we currently work with both Yulex® and Yamamoto to give you options. Each material has its strengths—and a few limitations. For example, “smoothy” panels aren’t currently available in Yulex®. We’re continuing to research, test, and learn so we can find the best way forward for performance and the planet.

Care for your Wetsuit

We use high-quality materials and construction because we want your suit to be your faithful surf companion for years to come. A little love goes a long way in keeping it performing at its best and living a long, salty life.

Normal wear and tear is part of a well-loved wetsuit, but caring for it properly gives it the best chance of going the distance.

If something doesn’t look right, we’re always happy to take a look. Please keep your receipt or proof of purchase, as this helps us assess any faults or warranty claims. We’re happy to consider manufacturing faults within a reasonable timeframe and will always do our best to find a fair solution, taking into account the age of your suit, how it’s been cared for and the nature of the issue.

And if you’ve simply loved and surfed your suit into the ground — we love you for it. Hit us up when you’re ready for your next one and we’ll sort you out with a nice little deal. ♡

PROTECTING YOUR SUIT

Give your wetsuit a little love when getting in and out of it. Avoid standing on hard or rough surfaces like sharp rocks — use a towel or board bag underneath to protect your suit (and your feet, for that matter).

Take care with rings, fingernails, watches and anything else that might catch or puncture the neoprene.

If your wetsuit contains Smoothskin neoprene, give this beautiful but more delicate surface some extra care. The metallic coating may naturally rub away over time in areas of higher friction. This is normal and won’t stop it from keeping you warm, looking like a mermaid and carrying that little touch of Atmosea magic.

Keep your suit away from hot water, prolonged direct sunlight, aerosol sprays and car exhaust, as these can cause neoprene to stiffen, crack or degrade. Never use bleach, petroleum jelly or other harsh chemicals.

NEVER put your wetsuit in the washing machine, dryer or dry cleaner. And definitely no ironing or leaving your salty little suit cooking in a hot car.

CLEANING & DRYING

Rinse your wetsuit with fresh, COLD water as soon as you can after every surf, especially after swimming in salt water or chlorine. Hand wash with a mild, wetsuit-safe or non-detergent soap when needed.

Turn your suit inside out for rinsing and drying. Our shoulder and neck fastenings use special Velcro designed to hold securely, so always close them when taking your suit off and before washing or storing it. This stops the Velcro from catching and damaging other areas of neoprene.

Hang your suit on a proper wetsuit hanger or wide padded hanger. Never use a thin wire hanger, as it can place too much pressure on the shoulders.

Always dry your wetsuit in the shade and away from direct sunlight.

STORING YOUR WETSUIT

Once completely dry, store your wetsuit flat or on a wide wetsuit hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding it for long periods, as this can create permanent creases and affect the neoprene.

And please don’t leave your wet suit forgotten in a bag, car boot or mashed-up salty pile. Apart from getting seriously stinky, it can shorten the life of your suit.

REPAIRING TEARS & RIPS

Give your wetsuit a little check every now and then. Small nicks and tears are much easier to repair when caught early and can happen from fingernails, jewellery, rocks and general surfing adventures.

Small tears can often be repaired at home using a suitable neoprene adhesive. For larger tears, damaged seams or stitching, we recommend taking your suit to a professional wetsuit repairer.

The sooner you repair a little tear, the longer you’ll keep your favourite suit in the sea. 🌊
