Our most popular wetsuit boots.

As its getting colder some of you will be donning your wetsuit boots. Maybe you've left one at the beach or a rat chewed your old ones in the garage and you need a replacement.

So far this season our most popular booties are #1 O'Neill Hyperfreak Ninja and #2 Rip Curl Flashbomb

Popular because?

Ninja: tried and true basic, firm fitting sealed 3mm boot. People like the simplicity, durability on the top wear part of the boot, board feel and the price at just $90

Flashbomb: warmer and great fitting features. Soft rubber soles for good feel, 2 x compression straps for firm fit, internal split toes (for grip and no leash entanglement), Flashdry internal thermal lining and taped seams.

O'Neill Hyperfire also popular if you are lookimg for a macked out boot with a grunting rubber sole.

Come try some booties on at Blitz to find your best suited model.

Another primo w8jter day with sun and offshore winds. Waves about 2 foot high so you should be able to find something to surf.

If you're a regular winter surfer you wanna be warm for these fresh morning sessions. Nobody wants cold running through the seams of their old winter wetsuit.

Come down to see us at Blitz to help you sort the best new 4/3 winter wetsuit for your fit, needs and budget.

Plus booties, hoods and gloves are all ready as we head towards the shortest day and colder temps.

Bit of a sad farewell from the Blitz crew to Keira last night.

Keira's been with us for a few years now starting as the shop grom then going full time this year on finishing school until she was poached by GisInt 😄

Thanks so much Keira for your contributions at Blitz. I've seen you grow from a pretty quiet mid teen to a confident young lady that I can't stop talking now 😉. Always loyal and reliable. Easily taken on and learnt new responsibilities quickly this year. Turning up 10 minutes early every day to boot! I think that might be partly to dodge the vacuum but appreciated all the same.

I hope the things you've learnt and experienced while working here with us at Blitz have given you some good skills to transfer to your teaching assistant role. You're going to be a great asset to that school and helping develop the next generation.

We're gonna miss having you around all the time at Blitz.

You're an awesome human, a credit to yourself and your whanau.

Good luck from the
