For Jamie O'Brien, a wetsuit has to do more than just keep him warm, it has to keep up with his crazy stunts, meet the technical standards of his high-performance surfing, and protect him while maintaining his colorful fashion sense. Whether surfing Jaws on a foamie, Waimea on a couch or getting barreled at Pipeline, Buell Wetsuits are his go-to.
Buell Wetsuits & Surf was established in 2008 by wetsuit industry veteran and Santa Cruz, California local Ryan Buell. He has designing and testing wetsuits for almost two decades and is known for inventing the slant zip entry system we see on most high-quality wetsuits today. Ryan dedicated Buell wetsuits to support the surf scene on a global scale, and his expertise is trusted by high-performance athletes who rely on technical wetsuits that will last through a good beating.
Buell Wetsuits come in all shapes, sizes, thicknesses, colors, and meet quality and performance standards set by industry professionals. For every person and preference, whether it be 5 mm for cold water waves, float suits for charging monsters, or spring suits to help you last longer in the tropical winters, Buell has a suit.
Buell is trusted by hard-core and high-performance surfers across the globe. Team riders include Jamie O’Brien, Dane Reynolds, Sage Erickson, Jacob Szekely, Jadson Andre, and Australians, Stu Kennedy and Keely Andrew.
