When it comes to winter warmth, few brands come close to O’Neill. Their founder, salty Santa Cruz surf legend Jack O’Neill, created the wetsuit for Pete’s sake. In terms of bang-for-your-buck, O’Neill is your best bet. On a recent trip down to the wild coast of Western Australia, the surf team was on location testing out some of the latest in wetsuit technology. And by testing this stuff out, I mean blowing up in pumping waves. Watch as Jordy Smith boosts a huge backflip, Cory Lopez gets insanely deep in the tube, and Ian Crane gets technical above the lip. If the new suits will make you surf anything like the team does, then perhaps it’s time for an upgrade!
