O'Neill Surf Shop

Jack O'Neill, one of the pioneers in wetsuit design, founded the O'Neill brand in 1952 while opening one of California's first surf shops in a garage on the Great Highway in San Francisco, close to his favorite bodysurfing break at the time. This led to the establishment of his company, O'Neills Surf Shop, that deals in wet-suits, surf gear, and clothing and is now a multi-million dollar empire.
