O'neill was founded by the legendary Jack O'neill. Jack spent as much time as possible in the waters of northern California. His company was founded with an simple idea from the founder in 1952, "I just want to surf longer." So Jack set out to develop what would be one of the most innovative wetsuit companies. In 2012 O'neill is celebrating 60 years of making sure you can get more time out on the water and get the most out of every session. From their innovative line of Wetsuits, to their Hyperfreak boardshorts, O'neill is giving customers around the world everything they need to get the most out of every time they ride.
