The legend that is Jack O’Neill the inventor of the Wetsuit
In the early days of surfing, this sport was not only limited to places that had the big waves, but also where the waters were at least reasonably warm. With nothing but your swim trunks or suit between you and the ocean, surfing was limited to either short periods of time or the hardiest of individuals.
Then along came Jack O’Neill to invent the first Wetsuit so he could go surfing for longer.
Jack experimented with a lot of different materials and designs – introducing neoprene and shorties, long arm wetsuits and Rash vests.
