Handcrafted in Ferrymead using Japanese Yamamoto limestone neoprene, this specialist workshop builds custom-fit and off-the-rack wetsuits designed to handle cold Southern waters. Founded in 1987, the workshop produces men’s and women’s winter steamers, spring suits, and thermal accessories for surfing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing. The range includes the MAX Ultra and Enduro series in chest zip, back zip, and interchangeable configurations, alongside Titanium 0.5 mm long-johns, hooded tops, and sea socks, with an in-house repair service to keep older gear watertight.
Surfers praise the precise tailoring of the custom fittings and the durability of the limestone rubber, with long-time regulars noting their suits hold up over seven or more years of hard use. Customers also highlight the knowledgeable, patient guidance from the staff when choosing between rubber thicknesses and custom colour panels for different sea conditions. Set in a busy surf retail enclave on Ferry Road, it is one of seven surf shops within a kilometre and shares the top rating among those with established feedback. Our pick in Ferrymead for bespoke rubber built to keep you in the south swell year-round.
