Good deal man. I got my Xcel 2 years ago on sale for about 120. I payed damn near 100 for just a top today.

Hahahahahahaha

I think this kid just has grammar issues.

A hundered for a top? Sweetwater? I don't go to surfshops anymore. Not for anything- except I bought a jug of suncure a few months ago for twice as much as I paid last year. Screw paying for new stuff that works just like the old stuff- let someone else pay for it and get it second hand. I haven't got extra money ever if you can tell. At least not for some surfshop to mark their **** up 75% or however much they can get away with before the rich kids will stop paying to be cool- but that will never happen cause these rich UNCW transient losers and everyone else clogging the roads of wilmington will always pay.

look man some of us dont have the money to get an xcel cause when you have to get a 4/3 it would be way over my parents budget that they would wanna pay for something i would only wear for a year and then out grow it.

look "man"... I'm 20 years old, have over 10 performance boards, and get a new wetsuit every winter, get off your ass and get a job, if you want something bad enough, you'll work hard and get it.

plain and simple.

AND, if you work for it yourself that will make you want to take care of it, because you had to pay for it., and high end wetsuits can be sold at the end of the season, they hold a resale value pretty well if you take care of it.

don't use money as an excuse to not have good equipment, if you really want a $300+ wetsuit, get off your ass and EARN IT!

i actually earn everything cause i have 1 al merrick flyer epoxy and a longboard and i earn alot of my surfing stuff i need and i look at it why spend alot of money when all im gonna do grow out of it but once i stop growing i would spend more money on wetsuits but also if all im gonna do is wear it for a winter then why spend that much money. also the billabongs are just as good as anything else.

Why do you get a new wetsuit every winter? They don't wear out that quick, do they?

I managed to get a 4/3 wetsuit with sealed & taped seams on sale for $155, with free shipping, from Tactics.com. This is a Roxy Ignite wetsuit (womens') which lists for about $215. It's supposed to be good down to 48 degree water, so I hope I can go all winter with it. It's got one of those short back zippers with a water barrier inside of it, so it's a lot of work to get in and out of. Hopefully, we'll get some waves that are worth the effort of putting the suit on this winter.:)

Dude, seriously...just go to Sam's Club and get one of their $50 wetsuits-made from Body Glove...sure it may seem "kookish" but man, if you wanna save some money and still be able to surf the winter months then go this route-it's what I did-and then I had money left over to buy 3 boards off craigslist-c'mon man-with the way the economy is-it's time to be smart about the whole thing! :)

no dued you need to get a job jobs get you money and eith money you can buy new xbox games and play them for fun and billabongs are not very good they are lame and lsme is bad and yiu need better equipment so you eont look like a kook heres what you do get a sponser to buy you stuff and use that and then you can spend your money on stuff like xbox and unless your sponsered by a bad store then you should just buy your own stuff so you can still look good and get ladys.

the thing is when you drive your insurance isnt cheap so my parents pay for the surfing stuff and i like the billabongs cause they fit me good and its hard to find wetsuits for a tall and skinny kid. so i get the billabpngs since they fit me good. and i do have a job. and that pays for the insurance and when ig et more money then i pay my parents back for the surfing stuff they buy me.

Ive had a Rip Curl classic 4/3 for over 3 years now, and it cost me about $120 with the shop discount. I think it will make it through this winter season and then i will probably buy a new one for next year. All my gear is rip curl, from my spring-suit to the booties and gloves.

I just read through all the post and you dont need a new wetsuit every year. We live in a place where we only surf in cold water for about 4-5 months. And i would NOT advise a $50 Sam's club special either. My friend had one last year and it was crap. Those you may need to buy every month!!!

Dude...about the Sam's wetsuit...all I'm saying is that it works for me-I went and got some booties too-this is a great wetsuit for the price...I'm not a name brand type of guy-its warm and loose and it does the job for someone that just wants to surf! :)

That's good to know, thank you for posting.

Sorry mackey, for putting down the wetsuit. Im glad it works for you. I just know about that one instance. But how do you stay warm in it if its loose. A normal wetsuit should fit just snug enough (so flushing doesnt occur oftern)? Anyway, glad you stay warm.

makey
10-10-2008, 04:57 AM
I meant "loose" as in flexible...don't worry it's snug. :) Trust me though, if I had the money I would probably get something else...but it does the job for now.
