Since 1985, Oxbow has established itself as the leading French surf brand. We bring together a community of demanding riders around an authentic culture of the ocean, board sports, and surfing.

Surf Wetsuits: Performance and Exploration
In surfing, the era of exploration never stops. Oxbow supports you on your journey to the most remote breaks with a range of surf wetsuits for men, women & children combining high performance and durability. Designed for adventure, our surf wetsuits are true technical barriers against the elements, allowing you to push your limits on every spot across the globe.
The expertise of our ambassadors: Tested in real conditions
Because the field is the best laboratory, our products are tested and approved by our team riders. Whether it's for the expeditions of Lost in the Swell, big wave sessions by Laura Coviella & Maud Le Car, feedback from Miguel Blanco & Natxo Gonzales, or heavy barrels in the Landes region with Vincent Duvignac & Boris Romann, our wetsuits guarantee:
- Absolute water tightness: GBS seams for our CREST & DRIFT models, and flatlock seams for ROOTS, to handle the most demanding sessions without any water entry.
- Dynamic stretch: Neoprene made from bio-based ultra-stretch materials that follow every movement, from explosive late take-offs to sharp noon rollers.
- Long-lasting and effective thermal comfort: A high-performance barrier against the cold, tested both in Landes tubes and during expeditions in colder waters.
- Extreme durability: Robust gear designed to last season after season, on all surf spots worldwide.

Discover a wide range of neoprene equipment designed for performance and durability. To meet all your needs, Oxbow designers have created a complete range: full surf wetsuits in 4/3, 3/2 and 2/2 (long sleeves or short sleeves for summer wetsuits), shortys for men and women, as well as Front Zip (chest entry) and Back Zip (back entry) systems.
Technical features for every need
Each model includes essential features for your comfort and safety:
- Integrated hood for winter sessions in cold water.

- Foam reinforcements on the hips for increased durability on women’s wetsuits.
Oxbow playgrounds have no limits—just like your passions. That’s why our wetsuits and shortys for men, women & children are versatile: while perfect for surfing, they are also ideally suited for bodyboarding, stand-up paddling (SUP), kitesurfing, windsurfing, and wingfoiling.
Sustainable and committed wetsuits: Ocena & OXBprene
Oxbow is actively committed to protecting our playgrounds. Because sustainability is at the heart of our concerns, we offer real alternatives to conventional petroleum-based neoprene, such as natural rubber, oyster shell powder, biomass powder (made from tea and straw), and plant-based oils.
The performance of natural rubber
As high-performing and flexible as traditional neoprene, natural rubber is harvested sustainably and responsibly. Derived from the sap of the rubber tree (grown with respect for biodiversity), this material has a much lower carbon footprint while providing high-quality thermal insulation.
Eco-responsible design in every detail
Oxbow’s commitment goes beyond the main material. Every component of our wetsuits and shortys is designed to minimize environmental impact:
- Inner linings made from recycled materials.
- Water-based glue, completely solvent-free.
- Dyeing processes that reduce water and energy consumption.
Choosing an Oxbow wetsuit in Ocena or OXBprene means investing in sustainable surf gear without compromising performance in the water.
Find the wetsuit that suits you
In terms of design, we chose timeless elegance with the essential deep black. But at Oxbow, simplicity always comes with a free and creative spirit. Our designers have added a fun and distinctive touch to each model so you can stand out in the lineup.
Unique details, the signature of historic French craftsmanship
Each Oxbow surf wetsuit or shorty stands out with refined and exclusive finishes:
- Logo: Our signature logo is featured on every wetsuit for a minimalist and dynamic silhouette.
- Unique inner prints: A hidden design reflecting the brand’s identity, with its iconic purple lining inside our CREST and DRIFT wetsuits.
- The Four Flowers: Oxbow’s emblematic signature since 1985, a mark of quality and authenticity.
Ready for adventure?
Because your desire to explore has no limits, Oxbow adapts its gear to vast environments and all riders. Whether you're surfing your local break or heading on a distant expedition, wear a wetsuit that tells a story—yours.
