Testimony from the World Surf League Orthopedic Surgeon

Dr. Warren Kramer M.D.

World Surf League Orthopedic Surgeon

Newport Beach, CA, September 6, 2019

I've been fortunate enough to have used a lot of wetsuits. Beginning with the O'neill beavertail through the stiff fullsuits of the late 20th century, up to the present time. Many suits have their gimmicks: quick dry, neck gators, tight wrist and ankle cuffs, but they're still the same ill-fitting, moderately flexible suit.

Then a quantum leap occurred.

Isurus created a surgical glove

It's also exceptionally warm, with the flexibility in the shoulder and hips where it's needed.

As the Orthopedic Surgeon for the ASP/WSL for the last 25 years, I've seen a multitude of injuries from tight, poor fitting suits. The cut and stitch pattern is superb to allow exceptional flexibility through the shoulders. This decreases the risk of impingement syndrome and rotator cuff damage. The zipper less entry and exit is also very flexible around the shoulder which also decreases the risk of rotator cuff or labral damage.

I have also experienced myself the low back stiffness that occurs with a poorly fit wetsuit that allows low back chill. Even though the Shield is only a 2/2, the stitch and paneling is done to maximize fit with optimal warmth to the low back area.

Spend a little bit more on this fabulous suit rather than in my office with your shoulder pain. Buying quality never goes out of style. I rarely give testimonials, but I believe in Isurus wetsuits.

I don’t do surgery in garden gloves.

You shouldn’t surf in a suboptimal wetsuit

At Isurus, our passion is to build world-class wetsuits that stand up to the harshest conditions the ocean might offer.

Living and surfing in and along the California coast, a frequent topic of conversation was just how much wetsuit innovation had stagnated and quality had deteriorated. It is about designing a wetsuit that improves surfer performance.

Best wetsuit I've ever had

Anyone need an XLS?

"Love the wetsuit, but I bought a little big. Anyone out there have a LS that they’d like to swap for an XLS? Only worn one season still in great condition."

— Kahner (5/5)

Great suit

"My third suit from you guys. I wish I would have stuck with my normal XLT size instead of XXL. I think anyone 6'3" and over should stick with a tall even if you're a little chubby. Can you guys please make a 2. 2 zip free with a hood. Thanks Jeff"

— Jeffrey W. (4/5)

Best of the Best

"Great wetsuit for spring and fall surfing in New Jersey when water temps are chilly with warm sunshine. Replaced a Rip Curl that was extremely difficult to get in/out, ISURUS is the go to wetsuit company, slowly replacing all of my wetsuits from other brands. Dries quickly and very flexible."

— Chad D. (5/5)
