Nineplus Wetsuits 2017
Welcome to the warm club The entire Nineplus wetsuit range is produced exclusively with Yamamoto™ Smooth Skin #39 Neoprene from Japan. By using this type of neoprene which is arguably the most environmentally friendly way to produce neoprene, we then use the top and bottom surfaces of the pressed sheets which is how the ‘smooth-skin’ is formed (the inner foam is bonded to nylon and is what is used on normal suits). By using the smooth skin the wetsuit not only takes on less water, but acts as a barrier against the wind and water. Without any water contained within the suit then being cooled by the wind, you are noticeably warmer – water contained in your wetsuit is the main reason you get cold while in the water. As Yamamoto also has 10 x the stretch retention qualities as other neoprene it will continue to hold its shape years after first use. It simply does not ‘bag out’ around the knees and elbows. Yamamoto is the best neoprene on the market and although it is priced slightly higher than other more mainstream wetsuits it is a product for the serious surfer and has been built with this in mind. Nineplus wetsuits have been built around the muscles of the human body and the seams form around the natural contours of the muscle tone making it fit like a custom made wetsuit and feeling, when worn like a second skin. Staying lighter means surfing longer as your muscles have to work less by not pulling around heavy neoprene around which means you can use your energy to pull you through the water rather than pulling the water around with you. Nineplus wetsuits feature fully blind stitched and glued seams, and feature silicon taping in the arms and legs. Yamamoto Neoprene has almost zero water penetration, which means a super light wetsuit. A lighter wetsuit means your body’s muscles have to work less so you can surf for longer.

The ‘Worlds Warmest Wetsuit’ - made from 100% Yamamoto in 5/4/3mm neoprene. Built-in hood with a hidden back zip within the back panel for easy entry especially for those with wider shoulders. The most serious wetsuit we make and has taken 5 years of research and development to create such a great Smooth-Skin wetsuit. The W3 is beautifully produced, and does not absorb or carry water, it’s a shield, body armour for a surfer in frigid waters. It is lined in zirconium throughout body and hood (the best heat retaining, water resistant, thermal insulating material on the market, period) The organ shield (front body panel) is 6mm. The hidden back zip has a quick release pull cord for easy opening of the zip after surfing (when tired). The neck opening has a triple water barrier system secured by a mini front zip. By having a mini zip it also enables the suit to have a smaller neck opening so that it prevents any water flush. Japanese leg panelling as standard to help with flexibility both surfing and going from laying down to the sitting position. Made to enable surfing in water from 3 degrees (37F) to 9C (48F) – a substantial wetsuit.

The Nineplus Retro Fullsuit - now in its 17th year represents what we believe to be one of the most durable, warm, flexible and close to a custom as possible.
Retro Fullsuit NWS-RFS21 / NWS-RFS32 / NWS-RFS43 Sizes: S/M/MT/L/LT/XL/XLT/XXL
Produced in Yamamoto Number 38 for Fall 2017 this is a suit which is extremely modern in terms of fit, comfort and weight while retaining the retro styling of a classic single lined smooth-skin wetsuit. The weight of the materials weigh in at just 2.2lbs (1kg). The suits have minimal water retention as the outside single lined smooth skin acts as a membrane
and is impenetrable by water. The suits lining being nylon will dry out in under 15 minutes when left to dry inside out. The chest is lined in Zirconium thermal polypropylene which being water resistant keeps the core chest area warm. The leg panelling uses a complete piece of nylon to eliminate any seat seams and also doubles in flexibility to help when sitting up on the surfboard as it keeps the squat much more flexible.

NWS-RFS32-FZ: ISAMU | 3/2mm Sizes: S/M/MT/L/LT/XL/XLT/XXL
Having been asked for a front zip option of the iconic Nineplus fullsuit we have created one. Featuring a front zip but also adding a few luxury options to the suit which includes using ‘Aerodome’ on the front chest and rear of the suit and also increasing the height of the neck. This suit is very warm and offers a more modern version while retaining original style of the Nineplus wetsuit.

Ladies Catsuit NWS-LCS32 | NWS-LCS43 Sizes: S6/M8/MT8/L10/LT10/XL12
The ladies catsuit is both iconic, simplistic and classic. The ‘corset’ inspired chest panels use 6 separate pieces of neoprene and are glued together to create the perfect fit on the torso while also ensuring that the suit remains feminine. Concealed zips on the ankle opening to help getting the suit on and off and a longer front zip for easier entry. We have always tried to make the ladies wetsuits in their own unique style, we first put a front zipper in the wetsuits back in 2003 in orders to break the front panel up. Basing the design on Anne Hathaway in Batman it also gives the wearer a very flattering look that is both sexy but also functional and warm. Every winter this wetsuit model for us sells out.

Wetsuit Warranty If treated with care a Yamamoto smoothskin will last longer than a conventional wetsuit, but getting the most out of your Nineplus wetsuit also requires a little care on your part.
perseverance with different grades of smoothskin, we have greatly reduced this tendency. Now, if treated carefully a Yamamoto smooth skin suit will last longer than a conventional wetsuit because of its quality and cell structure; but this will still of course be dependant inevitably on your own care and control. If there are any problems, we will always do our best to help you; although our warranty does not include nicks in the smooth skin as this will ultimately be down to your own care.
To ensure your wetsuit lasts for many years, we recommend regular rinsing with clean water to remove salts and sand. Your Nineplus wetsuit will dry much faster than normal wetsuits because it contains much less water. Don’t allow it to dry in scorching hot sunshine as in rare cases we have seen the smoothskin rubber heat up so much that it can cook!
For any other issues our peace of mind policy is as follows:
Smoothskin advocates have always been aware that sharp finger nails, barnacles, and so on, can be capable of ‘nicking’ the skin of the neoprene. However, our shared belief in the benefits of smoothskin has meant that, with years of
Within the first 3 months we will repair or replace your wetsuit free of charge. Between 3 and 6 months we will repair your wetsuit free of charge. Between 6 and 12 months we will repair your wetsuit free of charge although you will be responsible for delivering it to us.
Please note this is on the understanding we can repair your wetsuit and will be confirmed upon receipt of details regarding your wetsuit damage. If the wetsuit has been purchased from a shop the following information will apply. • A valid receipt must be copied or taken back with any wetsuit purchase. • The receipt must fit within the date range noted above. • The wetsuit must have been purchased from the store to which it is returned. • A copy of the receipt must be provided when returned to us. • A replacement wetsuit will be offered or a repair service, if for any reason it is out of stock we will have the right to replace it within 90 days, if this is not possible or suitable (at our discretion) we will credit you and you can credit the customer.
