Jack O'Neill Day | July 9th "The three most important things in life are Surf, Surf, Surf." Jack O'Neill built his life around a passion for the ocean. The wetsuit, his greatest creation, changed surfing forever. Adventurer, inventor, and preservationist, his life's work is an inspiration to us all, but perhaps his greatest legacy is his devotion to life and family. His motto was simple, "Be good to the ocean, and the ocean will always be good to you." Please join the O'Neill Family and us as we salute our captain and founder this July 9th for #JackONeillDay.
