Where can I find Kids Vintage Wetsuits?

[calsouth]

When I was 10yrs old (I’m 14 now) I got vintage smoothskin beavertail wetsuit from my grandad as a gift because he used to be a scuba diver.
It lasted me until I was 13 surprisingly, mainly because I haven’t grown so much but the beavertail was getting to tight for comfort and he suit was harder to put on.

Anyways, I stopped using that suit around 8 months ago and now I’m looking for a new one.

I’m looking for a vintage smoothskin beaver tail (like before) that can fit me, I’m 5’3, 14yrs old, and I weigh about 110lbs.

If anyone knows where I can find one, that would be amazing!

Thanks.

Hi Fox,
You might have to order a new one.
JMJ Wetsuits in Southern California actually has a vintage smooth skin beaver tail replica that they market to surfers, but I’ve heard a handful of vintage divers have discovered them and use those suits.
They are about the most identical cut and look you will find.

The other suit maker that can make you a vintage style suit is M&B Wetsuits in Long Beach, exact same patterns used since 1960, but the smooth skin outer might be an issue with them. They do have the stainless twist locks and full wide beavertail.
