In the 1950s, three brothers, Jack, Bob and Bill O'Neill, opened a surf shop in a garage across the Great Highway in San Francisco, a sand dune away from their favorite bodysurfing break. Jack, Bob and Bill created the modern-day surf shop. While Dale Velzy, Hobie Alter and others had shops down south, they only sold boards. There they sold his first wetsuits, a few vests he made from gluing together pieces of closed cell foam. From that very garage the O'Neill brothers expanded the average surfer's playground to include locations from Steamer Lane to J-Bay, and from Antarctica to reef breaks off the coast of Iceland. Thanks to them, "It's always summer on the inside."
Since then, O'Neill has made countless improvements to the design and quality of the wetsuit. From the introduction of the zigzag stitch to the names Jack originated which became generic, (i.e. spring suit, long john, short john, etc.).
Jack's son Pat was a pioneer in developing the leash, affectionately known as the "kook cord" back then. Using materials such as nylon lines, suction cups and surgical tubing, Pat found ways to prevent his board from crashing into the cliffs and breaking in half. While testing a leash, founder Jack O'Neill lost an eye and has to wear an eye-patch.
The O'Neill brand now branches out to many products. Wetsuits, surfboards, boardbags, swimsuits, clothing, and shoes are some of the products that O'Neill prints their logo on.
