It’s the King’s Birthday... and if you’re anything like us, you’ve left his present a little late.

We spent some time thinking about what His Majesty might like.

A poncho? 🤔

Some booties?

Maybe a warm layer for those chilly winter beach walks.

After all, kings get cold in the water too.

Unfortunately we’re closed today, so if you’d like to send him a gift you’ll need to order online. But let’s be honest — a late present is still better than no present at all.

As a side note, it might pay to choose something you’d use as well... just in case you can’t find the King’s address. 😉

Happy King’s Birthday from the Seventhwave team.

While the world’s eyes are on Raglan for the WSL, we aren’t lucky enough to be there ourselves… these wetsuits don’t make themselves.

The team are hard at work down here in Christchurch crafting and building premium NZ-made wetties for people who want the best.

No mass production. No shortcuts. Just a small team, years of craftsmanship, and a genuine connection to the ocean.

Proudly made in New Zealand.

This is where our 3/3 Ultra Max earns its name — Yamamoto limestone neoprene, handcrafted in Christchurch, built for exactly this. Because when it's pumping, you want to stay out there — with functioning toes and hands.

Shipwreck Bay right down to The Catlins — 1,600 kilometres of coastline, and the water temperature tells a very different story at each end. In many places the mountains come right down to meet the sea. We build our wetsuits from Yamamoto limestone neoprene — the warmest, lightest rubber on earth. You can find our region by region guide to NZ water temperatures here:
