In the '70s and earlier they would have been small, local companies.  These days their aren't so many.  The famous names like o'neil, quiksilver and so on are very big companies. There are still a few niche setups around though, Second-Skin wetsuits here in the UK spring to mind (http://shop.secondskinsurf.co.uk) and Snugg wetsuits (http://www.snuggwetsuits.co.uk)  are two small custom tailored wetsuits companies.

Quicksilver does $2B in revenues, Nike $36B. These are not small companies, but nothing related with the big guys. You have 8/10 big players and a lot of niche/small brands. We have a sort of "surf valley" here in France. It's composed of around 400 companies doing around $1.5B.
