Body Glove has been acquired by Marquee Brands. The surfing and diving company was founded in Redondo Beach, in 1953, by Bob and Bill Meistrell. They were pioneers in the development and marketing of the first neoprene wetsuits. Today, Body Glove is still making wetsuits, but it is also selling swimwear, personal flotation devices, apparel, and clothing. Surfers Jamie O’Brien, Garrett McNamara, Tatiana Weston-Webb, and Anthony Walsh ride for the brand, as well as pro wakeboarders Harley Clifford, Bob Soven, and Noah Flegel.
