Alright gents, hopefully I can get a little help here. I picked up an O'neill Heat 3/2 XXLS, it's not a common size but I figured it would work for me as I'm a short stocky little bastard. I get it,...

Agreed with some caveats, nothing sucks more then dealing with a private individual who has scrimped and saved to purchase and subdivide a property with some environmental constraints, hired a crappy...
For the OP,
I'm actually on the opposite end of the spectrum that SJerzsurfr's coworkers are on. I do the environmental permitting on the state end, reviewing the documents that the...
Anyone know how the fit on a Hyperflex Hooded 5/4 Flow compares to the AMP Hooded 5/4? I had some difficulties getting the AMP on over my somewhat stocky frame, but my 4/3 flow fits great and seems...
Hyperflex wetsuits on Seshday.com for very cheap. Got a hooded 5/4/3 flow for 109 bucks. Only up for one more day. Sorry about the late post but I've been having some comp issues. Good luck to those...
I am still using a hyperflexx 4/3, a little warm but since I don't have a 3/2, it gets me by. I get the same chaffing really bad, all you need to do is coat your neck with body glide, takes care of...
Not exactly surfing a top spot this time of year, but this morning was nice. The entire length of the beach all to myself from 8 till about 9:30, then me and a friend trading off waves. The only...
I'm by no means an expert on wetsuit drying, but I'll give this a go.
This past winter depending on the air temp and cloud cover I would let my suit air dry in the shade after a quick rinse, the...
Thanks Mikey,
I'll pass on the board then. One of these days I'm sure I'll run across the perfect long board at the right price.

Hey everyone, just had a quick question about a board I cam across yesterday. I was on my to a tattoo appointment and I happened to notice this little pawn/consignment shop on the side of the road....
To be honest, it's not a topic I'm overly familiar with. I haven't been in the water all that long so I don't have a long history of arguing with Beach pass monitors. I have two places that I tend...
I'm not sure how much this affects any of us on here. We all have our spots to go to during the crowded months of summer. But a win for the public perhaps?

Hey everyone, just wondering if there might be any interest in my winter wetsuit. It's a Hotline CCU 5/4, bicep to bicep zip. Taped interior seams. It's still under warranty (and I should still have...
Ugh, good gods, looks like I need to stay of the crap food, and smoking for that matter. At least there is someone else who had the thought of paddling around in the middle of winter just to keep in...
Thats good news all around then,thanks folks. I felt pretty stupid floundering around out there today for an hour, just couldn't get any speed on my paddle, or power out of my kicks. Nice to know the...
So here is a bit of newb/kook question. How much colder will the water get between now and March. This is my first winter out, in fact my first time using a 5/4 and the only thing cold on me was my...
Scobey, how was the room at Resorts? We've stayed at Taj, Ceasers, Showboat and Bally's, and so far Taj has been the best consistently. Showboat has been nice as well. Bally's has been hit or miss...
9ten and Kidrock: Thats what I've heard about the suit, that it's really toasty. I went with Hotline because it looks like from their size chart they are the only company that makes a suit that fits...
Just felt like sharing the excitement. After a successful trip down to AC and hitting the craps table hard, I won enough money to finally buy the wetsuit that I've been eyeing up for since last...
The neoprene inserts on them are very thin, barely worth mentioning, more of a gimmick really. Maybe .5 or something. I actually glued 3mm inserts on the top to get a nicer fit, because with fin...
The built in savers are worthless as far as I'm concerned. To thin and I'm not willing to risk it on a late August - Early Oct kinda day. That aside, and after the adjustments I mentioned in the...
I actually have a rough time with fins. I have shorter but very wide feet so finding fins that fit right is difficult to begin with.All told, I probably went through 4 or 5 pairs over two years...
OcmdSponger, I took my 5 mm h20's into 48-50 degree water last April. I think it was the first or second week of April last year. A bit nippy but not bad.
Ocmdsponger: Definitely on the flip flops or sandals or something this winter to protect the socks, esp if I end up getting the Yazbecks.
Scarecrow: I was thinking that, but then I have to mess...
I have a pair of 5 mm that I used through Decemeber last year and then again starting in April. They were good but my fins were a bit big in them so they always felt a bit loose. They also wore out...
