Find Your Ascent
Born in Santa Cruz, proven in the planet's critical waves, and trusted by elite lifeguard agencies. We engineer the definitive gear that fuels every pioneer's true ascent.
Confidence is your warmest layer.
Yamamoto Neoprene: A limestone-based neoprene renowned for its superior thermal retention, lightweight feel, and incredible durability.
Ergonomic Design: Every panel is placed to provide flexibility and a seamless fit, allowing for a full range of motion without restriction.
Craftsmanship: Our gear features cutting-edge technology like glued and blind-stitched (GBS) seams and liquid taping, ensuring watertight integrity and legendary durability.
Lightweight and Buoyancy: The sealed cell structure and low water absorption result in a lighter suit in and out of the water, which improves buoyancy and reduces energy expenditure.
Maximum Elongation: Features a high elongation factor (often 480%–580%), meaning the rubber stretches significantly more in all directions than standard neoprene.
