Common Issues We Can Repair
Even wetsuits that you might have thought were "beyond repair" can often be restored to usable condition through the skilled craftsmanship of our artisans.
Tears and wear around the neck, wrists, and ankles
This is an area that tends to wear out easily when putting on or taking off the wetsuit. To repair tears in the wetsuit, we replace the fabric or apply reinforcement tape to ensure water doesn’t seep in.
Chafing or holes on the knees, buttocks, etc.
We can restore the strength of your board by replacing the pads or applying new fabric to repair damage caused by leash chafing or friction with the board.
Zipper Defects / Slider Replacement
We can repair wetsuit zippers—whether they won’t close, are misaligned, or have a broken slider—using specialized parts.
Water Leaks and Flooding
Whether your wetsuit is leaking around the neck, wrists, ankles, crotch, or zippers, or has water seeping in, we’ll identify the source of the problem and recommend the best repair method.
Adhesive failure
For wetsuit bond peeling or re-peeling after self-repair, we will assess the condition of the surrounding fabric to determine the best course of action regarding bonding, reinforcement, and sewing.
Size adjustment (too tight/too loose)
Even if your wetsuit no longer fits due to changes in your body shape, you can adjust the fit by extending or shortening each panel.
