The Origins

Flatrock was born on the shores of Sydney in 2017 when local surfers grew frustrated with the limitations of mainstream wetsuits. The constant chafing, irritating rashes, and restricted mobility while paddling became barriers to fully enjoying their time in the water.

Breaking New Ground

Determined to create something better, Flatrock partnered with a Sydney design company to reimagine a wetsuit top from the ground up, focusing on what matters most: comfort, performance, and sustainability.

The Bronte Series Wetsuit Top was born as a lightweight and comfortable design that molds to your body shape — the ultimate top for comfort and mobility when surfing the summer waves.

Going The Full Length

Following the success of the Bronte Series Wetsuit Top, we set out to create a full-length steamer that didn't compromise on quality whilst not breaking the bank. Too many surfers were stuck choosing between budget wetsuits that caused rashes and restricted movement, or premium suits that were financially out of reach.

Our vision was to deliver all the essential features of a premium wetsuit:

  • Limestone Neoprene
  • Glued and Blind-Stitched
  • Internal Taping on all seams
  • Thermal core lining
  • An Advanced Panel Design

This gave birth to the Sarvo Series I - our Mens 3/2mm Steamer Wetsuit.

Perfecting The Craft

The Sarvo Series I proved that quality didn't have to come at a premium price, but we knew we could do even better. Taking everything we'd learned, we pushed the boundaries further with the Sarvo Series II:

  • More sophisticated panel designs to mold to the body better
  • Stronger zipper with enhanced durability
  • More flexible neoprene for superior body conformity


This evolution in design also opened the door to expanding our range—we adapted these innovations for women and launched the Mila Series, which incorporates the same great characteristics with refined paneling specifically designed to complement different physiques.
