Bill and Bob each bought one third of the local sports shop Dive N' Surf, owned then by surfboard shaper Hap Jacobs and dive entrepreneur Bev Morgan. Bill and Bob were raised in Boonville, Missouri and moved to Manhattan Beach, CA in 1944. They became interested in diving & surfing, and became Los Angeles County Lifeguards. Later they would invent the first wetsuit to extend the season for every watermen in the cold winter waters of the Pacific Ocean.

Dive N Surf's Thermocline wetsuit was the first commercial neoprene wetsuit. With this “neoprene” material, Bill and Bob Meistrell fashioned the first practical wetsuits. The Meistrell's invention has paved the way for surfing and diving worldwide. Dive N' Surf continues to carry on Bob and Bill's legacy with excellent customer service and quality products.
