Wetsuits & Rubber for Surf, Wake & Water Sports
Whether you're paddling out in cold winter surf, riding behind the boat, or looking for UV protection on a warm summer day, the right rubber makes every session more comfortable and keeps you in the water longer. This collection covers the full spectrum of neoprene and lycra options — from fullsuits and springsuits through to rashies, wetsuit tops, neo shorts, and specialist suits for wake and water sports.
For surfers, the choice of wetsuit comes down to water temperature and the style of surfing you do. A fullsuit in 3/2mm or 4/3mm neoprene is the go-to for cooler months and early morning sessions, while a springsuit or short-arm steamer suits warmer water where you want more freedom of movement. Wetsuit tops and neo shorts are ideal for layering or for those in-between days when a full suit feels like too much but you still want some warmth and protection.
For wake, ski, and water sports, the range extends to barefoot suits, buoyancy suits, and drysuits designed to handle the specific demands of those disciplines — impact protection, buoyancy, and thermal performance in conditions that can be far colder than the surf. Tour coats and neo one-pieces round out the range for those who need versatile coverage across multiple activities.
Rashies and lycra tops sit at the lighter end of the spectrum, offering sun protection and rash prevention without any thermal insulation. They're an essential layer for warm-water surfing, snorkelling, and any activity where UV exposure is the primary concern.
