Super toasty and buttery suits! They get away from the norm with colorful suits and their signature rubber bones. Nice atmosphere as well.

We have been renting wetsuits and decided to check this place out when we noticed a 40% sale. The people here were knowledgeable, friendly, and you can tell they truly love surfing. Instead of feeling like city slickers getting a sales pitch on the most...Read More

These are the best wetsuits! Easy on, easy off (even the 5:4). I put mine in the dryer for a few minutes inside out sometimes and it’s still the longest lasting wetsuit! I love them! I coach surfing so I’m in the water a lot...Read More

Just stopped in for a wetsuit for our 6 year old. Richie was amazing - helped us find everything we needed and answered all of our questions! Definitely will be back when we're in the area again! Highly recommend!

Top notch suits and service! Shout out to Richie and Nemo. Helped guide me through purchasing a new 4/3 to get rid of my 10 year old one. This one’s so much warmer and lighter. Can’t recommend this shop enough for any wetsuit needs!

Great wetsuits and team! The employees at the shop are friendly and knowledgeable. The wetsuits are good quality and the prices are reasonable. The hooded 5/4 has made winter mornings easier to wake up for. Thanks Buell!

No one in our family knew how to surf, but our girls were going to learn so we thought we'd get them wetsuits. Their surf instructor recommended Buell so off we went. The folks at Buell were super friendly, patient, and informative. ...Read More

I ordered a wet suit from them because they had a killer deal on them. This suit is so stretchy and warm!! Answered all of my question quickly and the size they recommended was great. Can't wait to order another. Great Company!

I stopped in with my daughter during our surf vacation to browse and look for the perfect Santa Cruz t-shirt. While we didn’t find the shirt, we did meet Derek, and he was so friendly to us, even though we didn’t find anything to buy....Read More

The guy didn’t make me feel uncomfortable at the fact that I don’t surf. It was hard for me to find a wetsuit because of my height. We discussed what I was looking for. He pulled one for me and it was the best fitting...Read More

I came in 4 minutes until closing and the guy let me try on one of their wetsuits. It fit perfectly and I was able to snag a new suit! Excellent customer service especially on a Friday evening!

Spacious, well-lit, well-stocked and nicely merchandised shop. The sales guy was exceptionally nice, helpful and knowledgeable. At least for me, their wetsuits fit really well and seem to offer great value for the money.

Just purchased a Buell RBZ Stealth Mode 3/2 Fullsuit. I prefer back zip suits like this model. What a great quality wetsuit! Way better than a comparable Rip Curl (Dawn Patrol). I am sold on Buell and this will be my new brand. Seams are...Read More
