From O'Neill

The HyperFreak series is easily identifiable by its super-clean lines and tasteful colour blocking. Minimal panel construction = less seams which means more stretch, more flexibility and less water ingress...we make that a win, win, win situation. The range utilizes the buttery soft TechnoButter 2 and the ridiculously stretchy SuperStretch TBX neoprene. Comfort, warmth, and unrestricted movement...the awesome HyperFreak series.

Boardshop's Take On The Hyperfreak Series

Where and when

The O’Neill HyperFreak wetsuit family have got you covered whether you’re surfing warm-water reefs in the Indian Ocean or braving the frigid waters of a northern European winter.

Tropical and warm water destinations

If you’re lucky enough to heading somewhere nice and warm the combination of a HF 0.5mm Top teamed with some boardshorts has to be the ultimate in comfort for tropical and warm water temperatures.

A 0.5mm neoprene top will keep you warm if there is a breeze, protect you from the sun’s harmful rays and will afford a little more protection than a lycra rash vest should you contact the reef.

European waters

A HyperFreak Spring suit or a Long Sleeve Spring is THE perfect wetsuit for summer in southern Europe and high summer in the UK. The HF fullsuits range from the 2mm short sleeve, ideal for summer surfing in the UK right up to the F.U.Z.E Full 3/2mm or the freakishly flexible Comp Zipless which will take you from late Spring through to Autumn in the UK.

Both the F.U.Z.E and the Comp Zipless are available in 4/3mm and 5/4mm for winter surfing in the UK and Northern Europe.

The O’Neill HyperFreak Comp Zipless is also included in the youth range, granting the serious grom a slice of the action.

QUALITY SUIT 5FT9/175CM 158.5 POUNDS/71.9KILOS SIZE M

Just received my wetsuit yesterday, took just over 2 weeks to arrive in the Canary Islands, which is about par for the course here (I really appreciate the free shipping BOARDSHOP!). Went for a first surf today and the suit felt great, absolutely no flushing, toasty warm for over 3 hours with quite a strong wind, air and water both approximately 21C. I know that probably sounds like a pretty warm day if you live in the UK, but I've been absolutely freezing lately, cutting my last few sessions short in my older wetsuits, and it's the cold wind that does it.

The fit and finish of the suit really seems quite good, all the seams are carefully taped with neoprene on the inside, and I can't see any weak points like I have in my current wetsuit (Quiksilver Syncro), which has developed holes in a number of poorly designed joins. The O'Neill suit isn't nearly as stretchy as the Quiksilver, but I can't say that I actually notice the difference in the water, I suspect that the importance of how flexible a neoprene is is over-rated in a 3/2, at my level of surfing anyway.

The suit's very comfortable. I really like the design of the overlapping flaps underneath the chest/head opening on the suit, they form a kind of close-fitting secondary collar that prevents any water from flushing into your suit. The zipper is also a standout for me: it's placed a touch higher up than on other suits I've worn, closer to your neck, which keeps it nicely out of the way, instead of running right across your chest. The actual zipping mechanism itself is also a good deal smaller, lighter, and less chunky than on any other wetsuit I've worn, making it less noticeable when paddling.

In terms of fit, if I were to order another, I think I'd go with an MS instead of an M. I've lost a few pounds recently and there's a bit of extra material in the biceps and armpit region, it's very subtle and not noticeable in the water, but still. In case it helps, I'm 5ft9/175cm 158.5 pounds/71.9kilos, 35 athletic build with fairly broad shoulders and back.

For the money, the suit's very good value.

Hyperfreak fire 5/4

Had the chance to test the new hyperfreak fire 5/4 and what can I say excellent. Really comfortable and so warm really impressed. The TB4 drys so quick within 20 mins. That’s not the rest of it mind. Draws the water away from the body really well. Amazing suit.
