O'Neill
OÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂNeill, the original Californian surf, snow and lifestyle brand, was founded in 1952 when a young man named Jack OÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂNeill took his unstoppable passion for surfing and used it to beat Mother Nature at her own game. Pioneering the worldÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs first neoprene wetsuit, Jack had successfully found a way to extend his surf sessions in the bone-chilling breaks of Northern California. He opened up the garage doors to his first surf shop in Santa Cruz soon after.
While many things have changed since those humble beginnings, JackÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs initial vision of producing functional and innovative board riding products continues to lie at the core of everything the company does. OÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂNeillÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs set of core values ÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂàinnovation in style and technology ÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂàhas seen the brand devote itself wholeheartedly to the evolution of action sports. From the first ever neoprene wetsuit and surf leash, to the worldÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs first stitchless boardshorts and range of groundbreaking wearable electronics, OÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂNeillÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs spirit of innovation will always drive the company forwards.
Today, OÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂNeill can be found the world over. In touch with its rich heritage and the universal stoke of board riding culture, OÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂNeill will always be committed to progressing that evolution and growing its reputation as one of the worldÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs leading youth lifestyle brands.
