Nineplus Spring Summer 2019 by Nineplus Surfboards & Wetsuits

The entire Nineplus wetsuit range is produced exclusively with Japanese Yamamoto™ Neoprene, the best rubber on the market. These iconic wetsuits are built with surfing in mind whilst retaining the classic styling that Nineplus is famous for. An example of both form and function in beautiful harmony.

We use this type of neoprene because it 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 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 of regular neoprene it will continue to hold its shape years after first use. It simply does not ‘bag out’ around the knees and elbows.

Nineplus wetsuits have been built around the muscles of the human body with the seams wrapping around the natural contours of the muscles making it fit like a custom made wetsuit and feel like a second skin. 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.

WELCOME TO THE WARM CLUB

WHAT IS

Yamamoto neoprene is made from recycled and limestone-based material and is considered one of the best wetsuit materials. It is 99.7% water impermeable making it the lightest and warmest neoprene on the market because it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t soak up water. Since limestone is high in calcium carbonate, it gives the neoprene an extremely durable yet very soft characteristic. Yamamotoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closed cell content is 28% higher than petroleum based competitors, Its high performance cell structure allows for elasticity over 400% better than human skin. It also retains stretch memory meaning it will never warp out of shape. The quality of this particular rubber is not only determined by the purity of its raw materials but also by its independent closed microcell structure. This structure ensures that if any part of the materialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surface is scratched or scarred, new independent concave microcells are exposed to ensure constant insulation qualities.

Yamamoto is lighter, warmer, more flexible and better for the environment.

NINEPLUS WETSUITS Recycled Materials The Nineplus Wetsuit range for 2019 has been updated through much of the series with new underarm panels and cuff/ankle details, minimal seams throughout and Yamamoto smooth-skin to keep the core of the body warm and dry whilst fitting beautifully.

Yamamoto neoprene is composed of mineral calcite (i.e. Calcium carbonate) and recycled carbon black from old car tyres. This type of neoprene is arguably the most environmentally friendly way to produce neoprene.

Feather Light Fast Drying With only a single layer of Super Stretch Nylon and with Yamamoto Neoprene being 99.7% impermiable to water the suits will dry out in under 15 minutes when left to dry inside out.

Thermal Lining Zirconium lined core - this is a dermatological body warming material with very low water absorbency. Extremely light and durable the best thermal lining on the market.

The RFS Weighs just over 1kg or 2.2lbs when dry and increases by 0.5kg or 1.1lb when fully wet. Drying time of 10 minutes in a regular temperature of 65F.

Water Proof 99.7% water impermeable making it the lightest and warmest neoprene on the market because it doesn’t soak up water.

Wind proof Glued and Blindstitched Blind stitched seams throughout, as well as Japanese glue seals which act like welded seems but lighter and more comfortable.

Kanako Knee Panels

Yamamoto Smooth Skin does not hold water like conventional neoprene. Without any water contained within the suit then being cooled by the wind, you are noticeably warmer. Wind chill is the main reason you get cold while in the water.

Advanced Cell Structure Yamamoto’s 23% denser uniform microcell structure ensures that if your suit’s surface gets scratched, new independent concave microcells are exposed to ensure continued functionality.

Strategically Taped

Stretch Memory Yamamoto’s maximum elongation is 480-530%. The human skin’s greatest elongation – found in the armpit – is only 60-70%. Even better, Yamamoto rubber never gets stretch marks. This equates to over 10X more stretch memory than other mainstream neoprene brands.

RETRO FULLSUIT 19NWS-RFS21 | 19NWS-RFS32

The Nineplus Retro Fullsuit, now in its 18th year, represents what we believe to be one of the most durable, warm, flexible and close to a custom as possible. Produced in 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 smoothskin 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.

The suits lining being nylon will dry out in under 15 minutes when left to dry inside out.

LADIES CATSUIT 19NWS-LCS32 | 19LCS-LCS43 SIZES: S6/M8/MT8/L10/LT10/XL12

The ladies catsuit is 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 help in getting the suit on and off and the suit has a longer front zip for an 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 order to break up the front panel. Basing the design on Anne Hathaway’s Catsuit in Batman it also gives the wearer a very flattering look that is both sexy but also functional and warm. This wetsuit model sells out every winter.

CARING FOR YOUR WETSUIT Please select the proper wetsuit size for your body shape. These are not ‘compression’ style wetsuits and should be sized for a relaxed fit, but not too loose. A suit that is too small will invalidate your warranty.

To get the best from your wetsuit, always rinse with clean water after surfing. Hang your wetsuit in half, by the waist for drying and store inside out when completely dry. Do not dry in direct sunlight.

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. 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!

Avoid sharp or abrasive surfaces such as rocks, barnacles, branches, dirty/sandy wax or even cactus! Wax should be kept clean and changed often to avoid chest panel wear through!

Limestone neoprene with smooth skin requires special care and usage

Do not force the arm or leg strongly into its opening (back of the knee blowouts), or wrench up forcefully the arm into the shoulder opening when pulling up torso (chest blowouts).

WETSUIT WARRANTY

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 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. For any other issues our peace of mind policy is: 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.

Do not use fingernails or overly forceful fingertips. It is better to ‘slide’ the suit on rather than to ‘tug’.

• 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 offer store credit.

Do avoid heavy contact on elbows like heavy resting on surfboard etc...
