30 YEARS OF SURFING. ONE WETSUIT HE KEEPS COMING BACK TO.
When you’ve spent over three decades chasing waves and shaping boards, you know when gear stands out.
Simon Fish, owner and shaper at Fishstix Surfboards, has tried countless wetsuits over the years — but only one has truly earned his loyalty.
“The Best Wetsuit I’ve Ever Owned.”
“The New Seas U-Zip is hands down the best wetsuit I’ve ever owned - and I’ve been surfing for a long, long time… 30 years. This is my second one; my first is still going strong. But every winter I get a new 4/3, and there was no way I could go backwards to a drawstring or back zip. This suit is just so toasty, with zero flushing through the neck - even if you wipe out in a barrel. It’s kept me warm on the West Coast and here at home in St Francis Bay when the wind’s howling. Plus, it’s ridiculously comfy and flexible.”
— Simon Fish
WHY THE NEW SEAS U-ZIP STANDS OUT
Simon isn’t the only one who’s impressed. The Vissla New Seas U-Zip has been gaining a solid following for its warmth, stretch, and smart design. Here’s what makes it a standout:
✅ No flushing — U-Zip entry keeps cold water out, even in heavy wipeouts
✅ Maximum mobility — Ideal for paddling long point breaks
✅ Eco-conscious build — Made with Ecoflex 2 neoprene, limestone-based and recycled materials
✅ Seriously warm — Keeps you surfing longer, even when the wind’s up
Built for Cold Water. Backed by Experience.
Whether you're surfing the wild West Coast or dodging the wind in St Francis Bay, the New Seas U-Zip is made to perform in South African conditions.
If a board shaper like Simon Fish won’t wear anything else — maybe it’s time you tried it too.
