Passion To Detail

Xcel has always focused on purpose-driven development and functional design since day 1, when Ed D’Ascoli started the brand out of his Sunset Beach house on the North Shore of Oahu in 1982. Leaning on the professional talent of those around him and personal experience, Ed – hailing from New Jersey where the water temps are slightly colder than the temperate Hawaiian waters - understood that the tools must match the talent to perform at the highest levels in all conditions. There are a few key items a surfer needs: a surfboard, a set of fins, wax and protective coverage. Instilling that notion into every aspect of the Xcel brand, the production of products has always been approached from a hard goods perspective. Xcel prides itself in creating the tools a surfer needs to comfortably surf to the highest abilities they can achieve. Whether in the cold waters of the Northeast to the warm waters on the North Shore, Xcel allows a surfer to stay out longer, to be warmer and to feel confident from the second your feet hit the water.

R&D is a crucial aspect to product success as well as one of the cornerstones to Xcel’s positioning in the marketplace. Xcel is a wetsuit and surf hard goods company first and foremost. Xcel does not have the distractions of having to play to the fashion or soft goods segments of the marketplace. Each of their products are designed in the US out of the Xcel factory in Hawaii. The products undergo test after test to insure the most competitive fit and performance standards. With this dedication to category driving their business, Xcel has a competitive advantage with access to technologies and materials. There are no gimmicks. Every inch of the product serves a purpose. It is with that confidence that they instill trust and reliability with the Xcel ambassadors, partners and most importantly customers.
