Who would have thought a simple quote could transform water sports forever? Over 60 years later, we still thank its author. Jack O’Neill, founder of the oldest surf brand, continues to inspire water and winter sports enthusiasts. Recognized as a legend, Jack now focuses on creating a sustainable legacy for future generations, emphasizing ocean and environmental care. Since 1996, California children have learned these values through the O’Neill Sea Odyssey, among other initiatives led by O’Neill and the brand’s figures.
