Tom COPSEY

I grew up in the UK in the 90s, working in surf and skate shops. After a few years in France as a wakeboard coach, I returned to the UK to join the Extreme Group, which bought and designed clothing for wholesale and ecommerce. Since 2005, I've been with O'Neill Wetsuits, specializing in wetsuit design and compliance in conjunction with the product development team based in Santa Cruz, California.

 

À About O'Neill:

O'Neill, California's premier surf, snow and lifestyle brand, was founded in 1952 when a

young man named Jack O'Neill took his unstoppable passion for surfing and used it to beat Mother Nature at her own game. By inventing the very first neoprene wetsuit, Jack had found a way to extend his surfing sessions in the often frigid waters of Northern California. Shortly afterwards, he opened the doors of his garage to set up his first surf shop. While much has changed since those humble beginnings, Jack's original vision of producing functional, innovative products continues to inspire and enable enthusiasts to do what they love so much.

About O'Neill:

O'Neill, the original California surf, snow and lifestyle brand was founded in 1952 when a young man named Jack O'Neill took his unstoppable passion for surfing and used it to beat Mother Nature at her own game.

Pioneering the world's first neoprene surf wetsuit, Jack had successfully found a way to extend his surf sessions in the bone-chilling breaks of Northern California. He opened up the garage doors to his first surf shop soon after. While many things have changed since those humble beginnings, Jack's initial vision of producing functional and innovative riding products continues to inspire people and empower them to do what they love doing most.
