My MAX G&S 3/2 Steamer is the BEST — it's light, thin, flexible and warmer than any other 4/3 wetsuit I've worn. Because of the Yamamoto rubber I can practically see my suit drying after use, which which is sweet because I travel a lot and it sucks to carry around a wet wetsuit.

I have had O'Neil, Rip Curl, Billabong and this is seriously way more comfortable than all three! It doesn't bunch up or give you awkward rashes, and it doesn't peel off you when the set waves roll through. It doesn't even feel like your wearing a wetsuit it's so light and flexible, but it still keeps you warm in the coldest conditions. I am stoked on my Seventhwave custom-fit wetsuit — its definitely the best wetsuit I've ever owned!"

Seventhwave wetsuits are by far the sickest wetsuits out there! Not only are they made in New Zealand, they only use the best, high quality Japanese Yamamoto Neoprene material, tailor-made to fit your specific body measurements, and there's a lot of cool colors you get to choose from that allows you to get a little creative and set your custom wetsuit apart from the rest.

Seventhwave wetsuits are everything you want and look for in a wetsuit. The MAX is definitely one of the most versatile wetsuits out there — it's very thin, super light, super flexible and it keeps me very warm which allows me to surf longer and really enjoy each surf session with comfort and style.

Paul and the crew at Seventhwave are super creative and very easy to work with. They really take the time to make sure that every custom wetsuit made is built to your satisfaction, and they even have helpful tips on how to make it easier to take your wetsuit on and off and how to care for your wetsuit so that it lasts longer (which I found really helpful). I'm super stoked and very thankful for all their support."

In the late 1990s, you could drive up directly to Seventhwave's factory in Ferrymead, on the outskirts of Christchurch, and explain to the good folks there that you needed a wetsuit with longer arm and leg-lengths. They'd reset the machines and churn out a better-fitting suit than you could find in the States, one that would be ready the next day. (That suit lasted me until it was unceremoniously left to dry on a shrub at Torquay and no doubt inherited by a lanky local).

A decade after that original purchase, living in land-locked Philadelphia, I find that Seventhwave is still the place to buy a westuit, for use now in frigid Northeast and mid-Atlantic. Ordering a custom-made, Yamamoto neoprene suit that, given a favorable exchange rate, is still competitively priced against its American brand counterparts, remains compelling. Now if only my love of cannoli could keep me within the bounds of those initial measurements ... "
