Reviews of Seventhwave Wetsuits

My first venture into the world of Seventhwave wetsuits was a 3/3 zirconium custom suit. Amazing. Flexible and warm. Fitted perfectly. Warmer than a 5/4 hooded of imported brand giving me longer sessions and better paddling power. Then scored a 2/2 custom titanium. Excellent for everyday use spring thru Autumn. Super flexible high performance all rounder, This replaced a 4/3 foreign brand. Needing something for those warmer days I dropped in again and had a shorty 1.5mm made up for me Absolutely brilliant number. That was my 2mm short sleeved imported made redundant. Have just completed the quiver with a 2/2 zirconium custom Wow this suit blew me away. It keeps me toasty in the middle of winter when the southerly blast freezer isn’t coming through Anything with the zirconium treatment will enable longer session times and keep your body and extremities warm. Have just snagged a pair of their sea socks. These things ejected my booties to the bin. So much warmer and far better contact/ feel with the board Really exceeded my expectations As far as my personal ‘shopping experience’. Front of shop, Puff and Janee are really amazing and friendly ladies, always welcoming and helpful. Listen to ideas and can make any on the fly adjustments Always a positive experience I wholeheartedly recommend any Seventhwave product for best quality, durability, fit and warmth

I had headed into town to try find a wetsuit thinking shops like Amazon, Ripcurl etc. would have some of the products they display on the websites. Nope not a single wetsuit could I find for my upcoming holiday in the cold southern lakes area. After hours of fruitless searching I turned to my phone and Ferrymead looked like my salvation, the traffic was so annoying and when I found this shop I thought I just don't care anymore: it is this shop or bust I am so fed up right now! I am so happy that none of the "main stream" shops had wetsuits that day as my 3/3mm BZ Steamer was just excellent. When the kind lady told me it was on special at $499 I cringed inside as my budget was supposed to be $300, but I was so fed up I just said fine that's great (lie). However, this wetsuit was worth every cent as it kept me so warm in 14/15 degree water that I never got cold even after 2.5 hours free diving/swimming and I could go in again after warming up for 30min in the sunshine. They really live up to all the claims, I could feel the slow trickle of the water, compared with the full immersion of my cheap Warehouse 2.2mm, the wetsuit was warm to the touch after I got out and I was colder out of the water than in it! From now on I will be buying all my wetsuits from here period the end!

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

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!

Kids wetsuit fit amazing. Lovely staff. Plenty of parking. We will be 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. :)

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.

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.

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.

This place is fantastic. Exceptional care and service from the women working there. They listened to what we were after and outfitted us perfectly. These guys are leaders in customer service with an outstanding product as well.

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. 😊😊😊

Bought wetsuit jacket, shorts and shoes and all very comfortable and great to wear. Service was great.

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! :)

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.

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
