Inspiring Surf Products

When we're not shooting epic surfing conditions, we can normally be found surfing somewhere in SoCal.

Over the years we've realised that there's some epic surf gear out there that helps us have more fun in and around the surf.

ISURUS Original Limestone Neoprene Wetsuits

Without a doubt, these are the lightest, warmest and most flexible wetsuits we've ever surfed in. They feel like wearing a second skin, and it's the only wetsuit we look forward to putting on. We absolutely love the Shield Collection which is a zipfree closure system. No zip means almost zero shoulder restriction and easier paddling. Simply the best!

    This 2mm wetsuit will see you further into the colder months than you can imagine. Thanks to the Yamamoto limestone Neoprene, this wetsuit will keep you warm despite being light, flexible and quick-drying. It is designed to enhance your surfing.
