Which new trends do you see on the 2015 wetsuits market?
Most important same as usual: Quality product & good material. Wetsuits need to be strong, comfortable, flexible & most important hot. Maybe for 2015 wetsuits will be thinner but much hotter.
“Cold Water Surfing” is getting more and more popular? Do you see a growing demand for frigid waters’ specific surf products?
For sure, Cold Water wetsuit sales are bigger every year. Not just in wetsuits but in accessories too: booties/gloves/hoods.
How does the new 2015 neoprene rubber look?
Thinner & flexible are the Key of the new 2015 Wetsuits. Not a lot of changes on cut of the wetsuits: Chest zip still the best sales.
What’s new in terms of panel construction? And how do you make sure the fit is right?
We work hard with an engineer to develop custom shapes and construction to fit to all people. We test it with all our team riders to adjust & improve the Cuts & have a perfect fitting.
Is comfort the best selling argument for a wetsuit? Any others?
Flexibility & comfort are the 2 keys points. For sure the most important is how hot the wetsuit is, but it’s not possible to test it in the shop before buying the wetsuit. That’s why comfort when the people try is the Key point.

We developed and engineered the cut and tested it with Pro riders. It fits perfectly and Pro riders can use it every day. We are really proud of the fitting and material. Price is really competitive.

Surfing in San Sebastian
La Zurriola beach in San Sebastian is one of the most consistent beaches in the Basque Country.
It receives most of the swells of the Cantabric coast and usually the biggest waves of the area are located here.
Featuring a big pier on the west side of the beach, it allows you chosing the size of the waves you aim to surf. The west side closer to this pier usually creates smaller waves whereas the east side gets the most powerful waves.
La Zurriola in San Sebastian is a powerful beachbreak where it is recommended to surf in mid to low tide.
