      When the water’s mild but a bit of extra warmth is needed, a kids wetsuit top is the perfect solution. Great for early mornings, breezy afternoons, or long beach days, wetsuit tops offer targeted protection for the chest and arms—helping to keep young surfers warm and protected while maintaining full lower-body freedom. They're also ideal for layering with boardshorts or swimmers for versatile comfort.

      At Long Reef Surf Co, our range of kids wetsuit tops includes lightweight, stretchy designs from top surf brands like Rip Curl, Quiksilver, O'Neill, Adrenalin and more. Whether it’s a short sleeve or long sleeve top, every piece is built with quality neoprene, smooth stitching, and a snug fit to prevent flushing. These tops are easy to get on and off, making them perfect for surf schools, beach holidays, or daily use.
