100% SURFER MADE

Over 40 Years of surfing experience behind every stitch.

20+ YEARS OF WETSUIT CONSTRUCTION

I'll be making your suit.

Hi! I’m Shane.

I’m Shane Jones, founder, designer, and wetsuit maker behind Jonesea. Born and raised in Orange County, California, I’ve spent nearly 40 years in the water and more than 20 years designing, pattern making, constructing, and repairing wetsuits by hand.

Over that time, I’ve personally made thousands of wetsuits for surfing, diving, freediving, paddling, competition, and specialized technical applications. I’ve also spent more than 14 years developing and importing custom neoprene, giving me an understanding of wetsuits that extends from the raw material and pattern to the finished suit and how it performs in the water.

I started Jonesea because I believed wetsuits could be made better. Better fitting, better looking, and built with a level of craftsmanship that gets lost in mass production.

Today, I still make every Jonesea wetsuit myself in my Costa Mesa studio.

There are no assembly lines and no handoffs between departments. One craftsman builds your wetsuit from pattern to finished suit.

I build 'em, I test 'em

Being both the maker and the waterman gives me firsthand knowledge of how my wetsuits fit, move, and perform. Every session teaches me something I can take straight back to the cutting table. 

That's the advantage of designing, building, and testing my own equipment.
