NCW hooded winter wetsuit prototyping, on a skateboard, in 30C heat!

Here at NCW we never stop testing, prototyping and searching for better and improved products. We’re also happy to suffer for our art and our customers. That’s why you may see us doing certain, ahem, things that may look a bit odd.

A case in point being NCW head honcho Mark rolling round on a skateboard whilst it’s 30C. Oh, and in a hooded winter wetsuit! Yep, it may appear nuts but we’re checking to make sure this potential new bit of rubber is fit for the job and bang up to scratch. Skating, just like surfing, requires flexibility. So it’s a good way to initially see what’s what with the new suit. Well, that’s our excuse anyway…

We’ll be testing the suit proper (in water) at the earliest possibility. For now though we’ll keep on designing and testing and looking for the next awesome thing in wetsuits and wetsuit accessories. Don’t say we don’t do our best for you!
