Seventhwave Wetsuits Ltd Reviews

A wonderful company! I absolutely recommend them for custom pieces. I have just had a titanium top and wetsuit shorts custom made for the yachting season and nothing is too much trouble. A friendly, helpful professional team who know their wetsuits and materials. My last custom pieces from Seventhwave were made over a decade ago and are still in such good condition! Thanks for your help and I 100% recommend you to anyone looking for high quality wetsuits etc.

I bought my first seventh wave wetsuit a few months ago and can not be more stoked!
To begin with this is the first time I can say I have ever actually enjoyed wetsuit shopping. I tried on one wetsuit that didn't quite fit so they took my measurements and that was it! The shop staff (and dogs) are all incredibly helpful friendly!
Now while all the big brands are all arguing about who has the lightest, stretchiest, and warmest wetsuits, trying to convince you who to spend your money with the answer is right here in NZ. This is the absolute most comfortable, warmest wetsuit I've ever had (my last 2 have been a flash bomb and xcel infinit drylock).
Another great perk is that it absorbs minimal water, after hanging outside for 20 minutes it's nearly dry and ready for another surf!
On top of all that the stiching and quality looks superb so I'm expecting this wetsuit to last incredibly well.
Thank you Seventh wave for changing my whole surfing and wetsuit shopping experience, I'll be back next time for sure!
Cheers Nick

Really good experience. Went in got second hand suits for the kids and really easy sale and price. Very knowledgable and strongly recommend.

Was dreading wet suit fitting, but it was lots of fun, love the gear we bought
Thank you team at Seventhwave

I ordered a bunch of gear from Seventhwave during the Covid-19 pandemic. Firstly their customer service is first class. The are prepared to go the extra mile with question & help. The quality of their suits are world class & in a league of their own. Only useing Yamamoto neoprene I knew I was in for a treat. The spring suit & long arm steamer I purchased are the warmest & most comfortable suits I ve worn in roughly 40 years in the water. The bonus is they make custom suits & they re not popped out of a massive factory with a brand name on it. Their factory is their factory & it s a non sweatshop environment based in New Zealand. Once again NZ leading the world. Highly recommended if you want the best quality to last.

When I want a new wetsuit I will buy from seventh wave, New Zealand made for a start, let's support industry here in this country. Great range of products and very helpful staff

Just ordered a custom-fitted Max 3/2 steamer for my teenage son. Very pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful staff. Great wetsuits and they are locally made. I have one and it's excellent.

Amazing quality wetsuits and products, Experienced friendly staff who go the extra mile to help you. Highly recommended.

First time buying a wetsuit and was really happy to find a New Zealand owned and made company. I believe it s important to support the locals and our economy.
From the second I walked in the door I was welcomed immediately, I explained my situation not knowing what I needed and they figured out exactly what I did need for a winter wetsuit, with great explanation and knowledge I felt confident in my choice from their expertise and high quality of product. They also offered a custom fitting, and am now expecting my custom wetsuit in 10 days. All the staff were incredibly helpful and supportive and super friendly, especially Sarah the owner who took great care of me.
Amazing service from everyone and highly recommend in coming here. Looking forward to coming back!

I acquired a made to measure wetsuit a couple of months ago. It is epic. I've been wearing wetsuits for over 40 years and never experienced anything even half as good as my Seventhwave. The comfort factor is incredible (2/3mm) as is the warmth. My wetsuit fits so well I've not had any water trickling in...even when slamming into the water. My biggest regret is not getting one sooner. Staff in the shop really good. :)

Great company to deal with. Love the quality of the product and the service. Excellent that the wetsuits are constructed here in CHCH. Would thoroughly recommend them especially if you've got kids who grow out of suits really quickly!! Seems like they have something for everyone no matter your shape or size.

Top quality Japanese neoprene, made in New Zealand! Unbelievably light weight as they stay so much dryer than other wetsuits on the market. So warm!!! Really friendly crew to deal with too! :)

Looking for info about purchasing my first wetsuit, could not have been more helpful

Fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful service. Great design and quality which can be hard to find these days! How lucky we are to have you in Christchurch. And that Lulu dog is pretty cute :) Thanks for an excellent shopping experience.
