m-newbaysurfthermal-cyan-10lAfter many years of hearing tales of people wearing our Merino base layers under wetsuits for extra warmth when they surf off our chilly shores, we have finally designed one specifically to wear when you’re surfing.


With Lycra knitted in for an extra snug fit, flatlocked seams that don’t rub, and a high collar to protect your neck from wetsuit rash.
