Body Glove International is a major surf, skateboard and watersports brand started in the United States. It was founded in 1953 by twin brothers Bill and Bob Meistrell. The brothers invented the very first practical wetsuit in the early 1950s in the back of their Redondo Beach, California surf shop, Dive N' Surf. From those wetsuits Body Glove began to branch out into other product categories and now also make swimsuits, clothing, shoes, life vests, sunglasses, wakeboards, towables, backpacks and snorkeling equipment. Body Glove products can be found all over the world and the company has sponsored some of the best and most respected athletes in the world of watersports.
