Body Glove's 2012 Fall Wetsuits







Using the latest technology we have insulated the entire lining of the suit with our Advanced Pyrostretch composite material from the chest down and added Glideskin neck lining for ultimate comfort. The entire suit features Vaporlock seams covering every inch of which is locked tight with our Fluid seal lining. Nano Tri-tech kneepads and an easy-entry slant zip make this the easiest suit to get in and out of. 

The Vapor is the most tried and proven wetsuit in existence. Approaching its tenth year on the market, it remains second to none. It sets the standard for warmth, flexibility, and comfort. Its unique  100% Vapor Stretch water repellent technology is often copied and never perfected. The Vapor also features 100% Vapor-lock seams, Thermofiber from the chest down, and Nano-tritec kneepads. This wetsuit is available in 5/4/3, 4/3, and 3/2. 


The CT wetsuit is for the competitive surfer, who needs the lightest suit available to help make those fast sections and keep those airs lofty. With 100% Magna Flex, this is Body Glove's highest performing stretch material and is 10% lighter than standard neoprene. The CT comes in a slant zip chest entry with a concealed left shoulder bib cinch for reduced water flushing. It also features vapor lock seams, an interior Thermolite chest panel, and Nano Tritec kneepads.

The brand new Legends wetsuit was made in honor of Body Glove founders Bob and Bill Meistrell and designed for the more mature surfer. You'll have no problem getting in and out of this suit, and here's why. The Legends wetsuit has a fuller torso cut and extended back zip, for maximum ease of entry and exit. It is made of 100% Eco Flex, the purest form of non-toxic material on the planet, environmentally friendly non-petroleum Bio-Stretch rubber, with anti-microbial properties. 

The Legends also features Vapor-lock seams with 100% exterior fluid seal, an interior floodgate to keep that chill off your back, plus Nano Tritec Kneepads. Its equipped with an unfinished collar, wrist, and ankle cuffs helping to eliminate a major point of water entry and a right arm exterior zip key pocket. If you're an old guy that still rips, you deserve the best product and the Legends wetsuit was designed for you.

Body Glove Wins Transworld Imaginarium Back 2 Back Years

Body Glove wins the Transworld Imaginarium for the second consecutive year. After winning the cover of Transworld Surf with exceptional photos, Body Glove finishes up the contest by winning the Readers Choice for best video, The Disappearance.

The Disappearance follows a group of four professional surfers and six filmmakers on what should have been the ultimate surf trip to the jungles of Indonesia but quickly became an excursion into heart-stopping terror. As the group discovers a perfect, secret wave, strange images begin to appear on film. Are they sharks, alligators, or something else? Fear sets in. Accusations fly. By night, unseen evil stirs beyond their campfire’s light. By day, large animal prints are discovered nearby. Members of the crew begin to disappear one by one. As the end of their journey approaches, they realize that what they are filming is not an epic trip but their own descent into unimaginable horror.

Body Glove Wins TransWorld SURF's Imaginarium III



TransWorld SURF’s third annual Imaginarium—a contest to progress surf photography—raised the bar this year, with entries from teams from Sanuk, VonZipper, and Body Glove. In the most competitive and creative year yet, Body Glove’s video and photo submission, The Disappearance, was awarded top honors, voted on by the TransWorld SURF edit staff, along with judges from TransWorld's SKATEboarding and SNOWboarding titles. Set in the jungles of Indonesia, the submission was a mix of The Creature From The Black Lagoon meets The Blair Witch Project. In the midst of firing surf, team members Jamie O’Brien, Alex Gray, Cheyne Magnusson, and Anthony Walsh suddenly realize they’re not alone. As the tension escalates, team members begin disappearing, and their dream trip turns into a blood-splattered nightmare. “Judging for this year's Imaginarium was tough,” says TransWorld SURF Editor In Chief Chris Coté. “All three teams had completely different styles and vibes. In the end, Body Glove's submission took the win using a combination of unique angles, a solid team, and a creepy beast from the deep. Thanks to all three teams for their hard work and creative submissions, everyone produced some very cool stuff this year.” Along with the win, Body Glove team rider Jamie O’Brien also nabbed the cover of the November issue. “When we saw the cover we were all blown away,” says Body Glove’s Greg Browning. “It's one of the coolest moments ever.” “We were so stoked to be in Imaginarium this year,” says Browning, “the other two brands really stepped up the game with some cool, fun ideas, and it made it such a great thing to be a part of.”

JOB at the Wedge

Hawaiian pro surfer Jamie O'Brien made the trip from the North Shore to take part in Red Bull Wedge Sessions, a unique session aimed to showcase JOB's talents at one of the most legendary surf breaks in the U.S., the Wedge in Newport Beach, California. Just days prior to the session, the National Weather Service had issued a high surf advisory and coastal flood watch for Orange County beaches, so Jamie got the call and jumped on the next flight to the mainland.

Body Glove’s The Disappearance



Body Glove’s The Disappearance

For the past three years TransWorld Surf’s Imagiunarium contest has set the challenge to conceptualize and produce a unique and creative photo submission, which appears in their November issue. The photos represent the short video that is also submitted. TransWorld then chooses a winner from the three surf teams involved, which is featured on the cover of that November issue.

Last year, Body Glove took the honors of Best Video Award and Readers Choice Award at the 2011 Imaginarium against Reef, Billabong and Rusty with their 8-Bit entry. This year the teams, including Von Zipper and Sunuk, have all stepped it up and made the best videos yet. Body Glove is extremely proud of their 2012 submission, The Disappearance, which includes surfers Jamie O’Brien, Anthony Walsh, Alex Gray, and Cheyne Magnusson, and are hoping to take the win for the 2nd year in a row.


The Disappearance follows a group of four professional surfers and six filmmakers on what should have been the ultimate surf trip to the jungles of Indonesia but quickly became an excursion into heart-stopping terror. As the group discovers a perfect, secret wave, strange images begin to appear on film. Are they sharks, alligators, or something else? Fear sets in. Accusations fly. By night, unseen evil stirs beyond their campfire’s light. By day, large animal prints are discovered nearby. Members of the crew begin to disappear one by one. As the end of their journey approaches, they realize that what they are filming is not an epic trip but their own descent into unimaginable horror.

This is the footage found on the multiple hard drives and cameras recovered at the destroyed campsite. The disappearance of the eight adventurers is still under investigation. Two survivors have been questioned repeatedly and continue to tell investigators strange stories of a sea creature. Search and rescue has finally reached the remote jungle campsite, but contact has been lost as of this press release. All attempts to establish contact with the search party have gone unsuccessful.
