Soli Bailey In “The ‘Prene On The Green”

Water shouldn’t stop you.

In honour of winter, we curated an untraditional highly-serious shoot to aid your yearly purchase. In all honesty, wetsuits haven’t improved much in the past years. Comfort is the new stretch. Chest zips are the norm, and they’re all generally produced from the same material. Regardless, a piece of thoughtfully composed rubber is critical to your cold water experience and we like showing them off. So, we took some of our favourite surfers and shot them anywhere but the ocean (we did go for a surf afterwards; we’re not that cruel!). Here’s Soli Bailey teeing off in his O’Neill PsychoFreak 3/2

“The flexibility in the wetsuit really comes into play when you’re swinging the club to hit that ball and bending down to put that ball in its tee,” says Soli Bailey, “I really like it because it keeps your muscles warm, so you’re always prepared to smash the ball and win your round of golf.”

You can view our selection of sublime wetsuits for everyone, better yet, everything! Here.
