MAKING PREMIUM WETSUITS AT A FRACTION OF THE COST

Supplying Premium Wetsuits For A Fraction Of The Cost since 2013.

After a lifetime surfing and designing products for surfers I felt there were so many extra things added to products and marketing that cost more, to both the customer and the environment that don't actually make products any better.

So I founded a different kind of company. One based on the value that less is more. A company that doesn’t promote overconsumption or try to convince you to buy more than you need. The concept for needessentials was born from my own desire to consume less and live simply. It’s about not wasting resources on what is not important. The concept is to have less but to have what is well made, what is premium, what is timeless and useful at its core.

By letting go of things like branding, packaging, retail mark ups and expensive advertising campaigns needessentials can make premium surf products more accessible to surfers. This way, what surfers can save by buying only what is needed in a product they can spend on what is important in their own lives.

It is about having less stuff and more freedom.
