Yamamoto #39. Kyoto, since 1964.
Nitrogen-infused closed-cell limestone rubber. A honeycomb interior traps warm air against the body. Cell-wall density keeps the water outside, not inside.
One design. One thousand units. Yamamoto limestone neoprene, graphene-lined, made-to-measure in Portugal. When the thousandth ships, the line ends. There is no v2.

Founded in 2018 on a single principle: build one wetsuit, at the highest standard the planet can produce, for the smallest number of surfers who understand why that matters. We do not chase O'Neill, Rip Curl or Quiksilver on volume, and we never will.

01 · Material
Nitrogen-infused closed-cell limestone rubber. A honeycomb interior traps warm air against the body. Cell-wall density keeps the water outside, not inside.
02 · Construction
Internal liquid tape at every join. No paneling where paneling is not needed. Cut and assembled by hand in Ericeira.
03 · Technology
Conducts body heat evenly rather than trapping it in pockets. Dries fast. Stays quiet through the paddle.
04 · Fit
Neither S/M/L nor pretend-XS. A single suit shaped to a single body. If anything falls outside tolerance, we re-cut at our cost.
05 · Answered
Why limestone neoprene?
Denser cell wall, lower water absorption, no petrochemical base. Lighter wet, warmer longer.
How do I take my measurements?
We send a guided 18-point kit once your serial is reserved.
Is the deposit refundable?
€195 comes off the €799 total. Refundable in full until your suit enters cutting.
Will there be a v2?
Not of this. When the thousandth unit ships, Round I closes permanently.
