Founded in 1982 in Hawaii, their story begins with a deep connection to the ocean. Ed D’Ascoli, the founder, was passionate about designing wetsuits tailored to performance in warm water surf. His goal was simple—create suits that offered warmth, flexibility, and durability for serious surfers. From the start, Xcel gained attention for their smart designs and quality craftsmanship. As the brand grew, so did its influence. Xcel quickly expanded to colder climates. Their wetsuits became popular among winter surfers in the U.S. and Europe. They focused heavily on innovation and cutting-edge materials. This commitment won them a loyal following. Xcel was one of the first companies to use 100% stretch neoprene throughout their suits. This gave surfers freedom of movement that older suits lacked. In 2007, Xcel won SIMA’s Wetsuit of the Year award, a major recognition in the industry. Today, Xcel continues to lead in wetsuit technology. Their range of products covers all kinds of surfers and conditions. Each suit is designed with purpose and precision. From thick cold-water suits to lightweight spring suits, Xcel has something for everyone. Their Axis range is a favorite for everyday surfers. It offers great value and essential features like glued seams and Thermo Lite lining. The Comp series takes flexibility to the next level. It’s designed for high-performance surfing where movement matters most. For those braving the harshest winters, Xcel’s Drylock series is a top-tier option. It combines warmth with advanced water-sealing features. Celliant Black lining and Channel Flex neoprene keep body heat in and water out. The Drylock’s chest and back panels are engineered for serious warmth. It’s perfect for cold breaks in places like the U.K., Ireland, and the Pacific Northwest. If sustainability is a priority, Xcel’s Infiniti series might catch your attention. It includes limestone-based neoprene and water-based glue, which are more eco-conscious options. This range balances warmth, comfort, and environmental responsibility. Xcel has also explored smarter panel placement and construction to reduce seams and improve fit. Their wetsuits are known for ergonomic designs that reduce fatigue and increase performance. Xcel doesn’t just make wetsuits for surfers. They also offer suits for paddlers, divers, and ocean lifeguards. Their wide product range includes boots, gloves, and hoods for full protection in colder water. Each accessory is carefully built to maintain the same high standards as their suits. These items help extend surf sessions by keeping extremities warm and dry. Over the years, Xcel has stuck to its roots while embracing change. From Hawaii to surf spots around the globe, the brand represents quality and trust. Their focus on innovation keeps them relevant in a crowded market. Even with more competitors, Xcel’s gear continues to perform in lineups from California to Cornwall. Xcel’s presence in the surf community goes beyond gear. They support local surf shops, sponsor talented athletes, and engage in ocean stewardship. Their story is one of evolution, but always tied to the sea. When a surfer chooses Xcel, they’re not just buying warmth and flexibility. They’re investing in decades of design experience, deep ocean knowledge, and passion for surf culture. That’s what makes Xcel more than just a wetsuit brand. It’s a trusted companion in the waves.
