Xcel Wetsuits was founded in 1982 by Ed D’Ascoli in his Sunset Beach, Hawaii home. His goal was to create high-performance wetsuits tailored for the demanding North Shore waves. Early designs focused on flexibility, durability, and warmth. By 1990, Xcel expanded to a dedicated facility in Haleiwa and added a warehouse in California, marking its rise as a recognized brand.
Innovation defines Xcel’s identity. The company introduced technologies like sealed seams, thermomax linings, and Drylock systems. These advances improved water resistance and heat retention. Xcel earned multiple “Wetsuit of the Year” awards, strengthening its reputation for quality and performance.
Over time, Xcel expanded beyond surfing into diving, paddleboarding, and other watersports. Recently, the brand adopted sustainable practices, using eco-friendly materials without losing performance. Today, Xcel blends Hawaiian heritage with cutting-edge design and global reach. It continues to serve athletes seeking comfort, protection, and style in the water.
