We make custom-tailored wetsuits from Yamamoto #40 Neoprene
POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
After eight years of running 7TILL8, we’ve decided to close our doors.

We started with the curiosity to see if we could solve a well-known problem within the ocean community: wetsuit fit. We also wondered if we could create a brand that gave people a sense of pride and confidence to explore their relationship with the water. We named it after our favorite time to surf, a summertime sunset session in Malibu.

Building 7TILL8 was the privilege of a lifetime. We created custom wetsuits made from Yamamoto #40 and fit thousands of people across 37 countries. It took us to the dreamiest breaks around the world.

We met the most magnetic people and experienced awe-inspiring sessions. Professional surfers, freedivers, CEOs, shapers, artists… so many people that we otherwise would not have crossed paths with if not for a shared love for the water.

We started 7TILL8 simply because we wanted to see what was possible. We didn’t fully anticipate the growing pains of supply chain disruptions, market forces, and capital pressures. Any founder will understand how a business you love can fuel, expand, and consume you all at once. We didn’t know what we didn’t know.

We want to thank everyone who has crossed paths with us and supported 7TILL8. It gave us the opportunity to transform our lives and we couldn’t be more grateful.

See you at glass off,
Grace and Andrew

PS: We will continue supporting existing customers over the coming weeks. Please reach us at mailto:info@7till8.com with any thoughts or questions. by @7till8

This is the kind of adventure long weekends are made for. All day out at sea with the salt on our skin and nowhere else to be.

On Saturday, May 3, we brought the “sea-to-table” experience to life in Ventura. Indoek hosted a one-day takeover with Rivian, 7TILL8, and Rosalynn Supper Club.

For 7TILL8, diving is about connection—to nature, to adventure, and to craft—and this event was our way of sharing that feeling in real life.

The journey began with a dive off the Channel Islands and ended with a shared table inside the gallery.

The catch: fresh urchin and California sheephead, harvested the day before by @conner_john_rhoads and @brookebasse

Then @jasperhlynn and @rosalynnsupperclub transformed the catch into a fine dining tasting menu cooked on the @rivianofficial Travel Kitchen in front of @indoek gallery.

Outside, test drives in Rivian vehicles gave a hands-on taste of outdoor exploration.

While inside, guests were custom-measured for @7till8 wetsuits and welcomed the brand’s Ventura debut. 

Indoek’s “Wavelengths” show by @nedevans and @jivesurf anchored the experience in contemporary California art inspired by the artists’ relationships to the sea.

Sips by @stelandmar, @topatopabrewingco, and @optimistdrinks kept spirits high through the evening.

Big thanks to everyone who joined us — relive the day through these photos by @_ryderalves_ taken in Indoek by @7till8

On Saturday, May 3, we’re bringing the sea-to-table story off your screen and into real life.

For one day only, we’re taking over Indoek to tell the full journey—from the dive to the plate—in a full-sensory experience. 

To us, diving is about connection—to nature, to adventure, and to craft. We’ve teamed up with some incredibly talented friends to bring this epic vision to life. Here’s what to expect:

– @conner_john_rhoads and @brookebasse will be diving off the Channel Islands the day before to source the freshest catch
– @jasperhlynn and @rosalynnsupperclub will transform that catch into a fine-dining tasting menu, cooked straight from @rivianofficial ‘s mobile kitchen
– @rivianofficial will be offering test drives to help you imagine your next outdoor adventure
– 7TILL8 will be offering custom wetsuit fittings for anyone ready to dive in
- Drinks provided by @stelandmar @topatopabrewingco and @optimistdrinks 
– And it all unfolds alongside “Wavelengths”, @indoek’s newest art show featuring artists @nedevans and @jivesurf 

To celebrate our new beginning in Ventura, we’re doing something we’ve never done before. See you there. 

SOLD OUT
The event is currently full, but if you’re interested in joining, DM us to join the waitlist. taken in Indoek by @7till8

We're Headed Somewhere That Feels Like Home 

We’ve called Los Angeles home since Day 1 of 7TILL8, but over the years, our commitment to evolving our custom wetsuits has taken us personally all over the California coast—and ultimately, to our next destination. Our products carry the knowledge of our lived experiences.

During the pandemic, finding all-day solace in double (sometimes triple) surf sessions at San Onofre led to the development of our Two-Piece Wetsuit. To better understand the demands of cold-water surfing and dial in the Hooded Fullsuit, we spent three years living at the beach in Aptos—immersed in the raw energy of Santa Cruz and the tucked-away coastlines north of Highway 1. The frequent exploration between Northern and Southern California inspired the Convertible Hooded Fullsuit—built to adapt to shifting winds and water temps.

An unexpected takeaway from our time in Aptos was the access to phenomenal produce, seafood, and a deeper awareness of where our food comes from. It sparked a new kind of curiosity—about diving, harvesting, and what it means to be underwater for long stretches of time. As our dive collection evolved, we found ourselves naturally drawn to Ventura County: the Channel Islands, the creative undercurrent, and a core multi-disciplined waterman community that is asking for gear built with intention. Expanding the boundaries of custom wetsuits and diving led us to a realization: Ventura County was where we were headed.

This transition is just beginning, but already, Ventura already feels like home. LA will always be our foundation, but we’re excited for what’s ahead—to keep improving, keep showing up, and keep building something better.

SEA-TO-TABLE: Fresh catch tastes even better when you’ve earned it. Spring is around the corner, and the ocean is serving up the best kind of feast. Nothing beats the experience of catching your own food—diving into the water, tracking your next meal, and bringing it straight to the table.

A custom wetsuit ensures the warmth, flexibility, and comfort to stay out longer and dive deeper.
 
Where are you diving for your next sea-to-table meal?

"Being immersed underwater is one of my favorite feelings in the world. To just enjoy the present and be disconnected from the tech-dominated world we live in is an indescribable feeling. It's peaceful and exciting at the same time.

I think the ocean will always scare me and intrigue me.

I am always just in awe of everything I am looking at. You can go to the same spot over and over but it will never be the same.” - Brooke Basse
