RETURNS AND EXCHANGES POLICY
Manta Promise:
We back our Manta wetsuit to last. That’s why we offer a 365-day hassle-free guarantee. If your wetsuit falls apart within a year – stitching, seams, zip, whatever – we’ll take it back, no questions asked. No excuses. No dramas. Just confidence in gear that’s built for the ocean, day in, day out.
SHIPPING
We offer free shipping on all Australian orders over $250. Orders are typically dispatched within 1–2 business days, with tracking provided once shipped.
The 4/4 Hybrid is built for surf, spear, foil, and all-around ocean adventure. If you’re in the water for hours or through the cooler months, this is your go to suit.
How flexible is it for high-movement activities?
Despite its extra thickness, it’s impressively flexible. Similar to your standard 3/2. We use premium limestone neoprene and carefully mapped paneling to allow full mobility.
What makes it different from a regular wetsuit?
This is a true Hybrid – not just a surf suit with add-ons. It includes a loading pad, secure dive pocket, articulated knees, and other multi-sport features. Our internal/external neoprene and foam are trade secrets – exclusive to us.
What makes this wetsuit worth the investment?
It’s built by people who rely on their wetsuit every day. You’re getting a purpose-designed suit with no compromises – premium materials, real-world testing, and professional-grade features you won’t find in off-the-shelf suits.
Why are you offering a 365-day guarantee?
Because wetsuits should last. We’ve built the Hybrid Gen² to handle real ocean use day in, day out. A full year of hassle-free returns is our way of backing that up.
Does this guarantee cover everything?
It covers the wetsuit failing from normal use: seams blowing, zippers busting, stitching giving way. It doesn’t cover things like running it over with your car or getting a fin chop.
3 years ago I bought my first Shark Eyes 4/4 wetsuit. Now, I have the thermal rashie, my son has the thermal rashie and the new 3/3. AND my partner has the 3/3 plus the new short arm 2/2. AND I just received my new manta collection last week and have worn it in the water twice surfing. I have never been disappointed with any of your products and this is no exception. The right cut in the right place covering the right bits. All women of water will know what I mean! 10/10 for function and form. Today there was a howling SW and I was snug warm and comfortable. My partner saw the two piece and said what a great idea! Thank you thank you thank you so much for creating this. I think we will keep expanding our Shark Eyes collection!!! Great job again. Sincerely, Joyce

Most of my life is spent in or around the ocean, and if a wetsuit annoys me, I won’t wear it. Simple as that. The Manta pants and springsuit just make sense. I can wear them on their own, layer them together, move freely and stay warm without constantly re-adjusting or fixing anything. They’ve been tested properly, lived in properly, and they are made for women bodies and for women who love the ocean.
