We Are Watersports

The year is 2004…

Andy Irons and Kelly Slater are going hammer and tong on the ASP World Tour, Ben Ainslie sails to gold in Athens, cult surf classic ‘Riding Giants’ is released to DVD (and VHS), and Wetsuit Outlet is launched to the world. 

From humble beginnings, Wetsuit Outlet is now the largest specialist watersport retailer in Europe. We’ve acquired worldwide, industry-defining brands: Gul, Rip Curl, Helly Hansen, Billabong, and Musto to name a few. Whilst adding a load of new and exciting names along the way: Red Paddle Co, Wallien, Jobe, Roxy, C-Skins, Mystic and more. 

A lot has changed (for the better) over the last 20 years, with the introduction of GreenPE packaging - 100% renewable and 100% recyclable - as well as recent green initiatives with wetsuit recycling, repair services, and community gifting. 

 

Our Community

Now this isn’t saying that we’ve cracked it. We are always learning and trying our best to do better. But we hope this gives an insight into the changes we’ve made over the last 20 years, the community we’ve cultivated, new priorities and plans for the future:

  • We’ve helped 585,953 people access the water in one of our wetsuits
  • We’ve kitted out 61,195 intrepid seafarers, young sailors, and yacht enthusiasts in a drysuit
  • We’ve delivered 9,224 SUP boards to paddlers all over the UK and Europe
  • We’ve listed upwards of 200 brands since 2004

 

TRUSTPILOT 

With that, a big thank you. To everyone that’s bought from us, recommended us, reviewed us and said nice things about our team. To all the brands we work with, the warehouse crew, the customer service team, and everyone else who’s worked here at Wetsuit Outlet.

Here’s to the next 20 years…

One month of Giveaways

We have reached out to brands (old and new), pulling in a few favours and a few products to list across the month. Each week brings something new - whether you’re a keen surfer, sailor, swimmer, or paddler - there’s something to get excited about. Be sure to keep an eye on our Instagram...

WSO+ Rewards

This month, we’ve also reached a whopping 250,000 WSO+ Rewards members! That’s a whole lot of watersports obsessives with access to free vouchers, wetsuit recycling via Bodyline, exclusive offers and competitions, and a dedicated Customer Service line. 

With more than £1M worth of loyalty vouchers already earned by members, we are excited to see our community grow even further as we bring the scheme to new countries this summer season.

Green Initatives 

A lot has evolved (for the better) over the past two decades, marked by the introduction of GreenPE packaging—100% renewable and 100% recyclable. Additionally, recent green endeavors encompass wetsuit recycling, repair services, Greener Choice, and community gifting. However, it's essential to note that we haven't solved all the challenges. We're continuously learning and striving to improve.
