Cold Water, Hot Gear – Wetsuits for Everyone
Winter waves in NZ are often cleaner, more powerful, and far less crowded. Especially here in Gisborne where the best surf usually comes in the colder months. That’s why having the right gear is crucial. At Blitz, we stock a wide range of surfing wetsuits for all ages and skill levels, including:
-
Mens wetsuits from small-3xl we've got you, whether you are after the highest performance suit, the warmest suit, or a lower cost suit
-
Womens wetsuits are exactly the same spec as the mens, just with a bit more shape to them and often more interesting yardages
-
Childrens wetsuits to keep your tamariki toasty while they learn to surf through all the conditions Tangaroa can throw at them
You can buy wetsuits online from top brands at www.blitzsurf.co.nz, or pop in-store to try one on and get the full lowdown from our staff of any model that you are interested in. We’re here to help you get the right fit for New Zealand’s winter conditions.
