Nyord Hits Lost Shore: Pushing the Solu Wetsuit to the Limit

The Nyord team visited Lost Shore Wave Pool in Edinburgh—Europe's premier artificial surf facility—for a day dedicated to surfing, testing products, and enjoyment.

A Unique Testing Ground

Lost Shore, situated in a former quarry near Edinburgh, ranks among the world's most advanced artificial wave facilities. It produces hundreds of consistent, rideable waves hourly for surfers of all skill levels. The real challenge came from unheated water mirroring Scotland's cold conditions, providing a thorough thermal performance and flexibility assessment.

Solu Takes Centre Stage

The trip centred on the Nyord Solu wetsuit, featuring Yulex 2.0 plant-based natural rubber. This design combines advanced rubber with recycled thermal linings and strategic panel placement for maximum stretch and durability while balancing performance, warmth, and sustainability.

Harsh Conditions, Elite Performance

The Solu range demonstrated excellence across key areas: thermal insulation maintained comfort in cold water; Yulex 2.0's elasticity enabled natural paddling and pop-ups without restriction; durability withstood repeated wipeouts and extended use without compromise. The suits proved that ecological construction needn't sacrifice performance in demanding, cold-water sessions.

Why It Matters

Real-world testing reinforces Nyord's mission: creating wetsuits that deliver warmth, flexibility, reliability, and environmental responsibility. Whether pursuing coastal waves or consistent artificial waves, Solu enhances every session.
