Main symptoms that can be repaired

Even wetsuits that you thought you had no choice but to buy a new one can often be restored to a usable condition with the manual work of a craftsman.

Torn areas around the neck, wrists, and ankles

This is an area that is prone to stress when putting on and taking off the suit. We will repair it by replacing the fabric and using reinforcement tape to make it more water-resistant again.

Rubbing/holes on knees, buttocks, etc.

Damage caused by rubbing against the leash or the board can be restored by replacing the pad or applying new fabric.

Zipper malfunction/slider replacement

We also offer special parts to address any problems with zippers, such as zippers that won't close, zippers that don't fit properly, or zipper sliders that are broken.

Size adjustment (tight/loose)

If your wetsuit no longer fits properly due to changes in your body shape, you can adjust the fit by extending or retracting each panel.

FAQ

Q. I stuck it on with glue myself, can it be repaired?

A. It depends on the condition, but in most cases it is possible to remove the glue and repair it again with special adhesive and sewing. We recommend that you consult us before attempting to repair it yourself.

Q. Can you fix very old wetsuits?

A. Depending on the degree of deterioration of the fabric, repairs may not be able to maintain durability. In such cases, we will not force repairs and will honestly advise you if a replacement would be better.

Q: What about shipping costs?

A. Please note that you will be responsible for the shipping costs when sending the product. Regarding the return of the product after repair, we will provide separate instructions depending on the request.

It's okay to start with a simple question: "Can you still fix this?"
Let us help you protect yours together.

You can also ask whether repair or replacement is the better choice.

Small tears and leaks can often be repaired.
However, if the material is heavily deteriorated or the repair cost becomes too high, replacing it with a factory-direct wetsuit may also be an option.
We will not push you to replace it. As a repair specialist, we will honestly assess the condition and guide you.
