Bump. Suits are still available. Buy one or buy 'em all. I am negotiable and will ship/deliver in NJ.

I was 5'10" 200lbs (+/- 5 lbs) when I wore the 5/4 and it fit very well. So yes, 5'11" 200 would probably fit you.

Helloooo? Anyone interested. I'm negotiable....

All suits in good shape. I lost weight and had to size down ::)

Drylock Hooded 5/4 Size XLS (4 years old): $100
Drylock Hooded 4/3 Size XL (1 year old): $150
Drylock 3/2 Size XL (1 year old):...

I can't argue with you on that. I said the same thing to my FCS buddy (never really saw a need, was fine w/screws) and he said, "It's one of those things you don't think you need/want until you have...

nj42, I'm not sure but I overheard one of the FCS guys say eventually they will bring the signature fins into the line with the screwless base. In the meantime, the old FCS fins work fine in the new...

I saw the new systems (FCS II and Origin) with my own eyes at Surf Expo. Full disclosure I am also friends with some of the FCS guys. Their intention is to phase out the plugs and fusion entirely and...

I just tried out the 2mm Quik NEOGOO gloves and while they seal water well, the liquid neoprene finish on the gloves ABSOLUTELY SUCKS for grip. It's like having Vaseline on your fingers. Solved one...

LB. Do you have any idea what beaches in Monmouth County are accessible right now (for non residents)? My friend in Lake Como tells me you can't even go to the beach in the Belmar-Manasquan area.

Hi Andrew. What did you think of the dyed foam? Did it make a mess of your tools and shop or is that an overblown worry?
Thanks,

Andrew,
I say you should incorporate sidecut like a snowboard. Especially if you are going the twin tip route. It's been done before with pretty good results (look up Steve O'Hara from Pioneers in...

I would say that it is a tad bit small. If anything, you want to be slightly over-foamed for confidence in Indo. Not TOO overfoamed, but slightly. Keep the tails relatively narrow and have good...

I posted this on the surfermag site as well: try the Hynson Quads, Rusty Quads, or Mayhem quads. You want more surface area on a wide tail board and if you want drive, you want rake. Rusty Quads...

For airfare, try TACA out of JFK. Board bag fees about $100 each way for 2-3 boards in a bag.

Just some counter-points to confuse you:

*Diamond tail will be easier to shape, especially for a first timer.
*Diamond tail works well as a thruster or quad. Don't see too many twins with diamond...

Get a White Diamond type shape with a Thruster/Quad option (5 fin boxes). Can't go wrong.

I think you are mixing up the nose with the tail. DD's have a 15" or so tail. Nose is pretty pointy and narrow:
...

I think he was just referring to placing the outline on the blank (pulling in the nose and tail on the blunted blank).

I have seen plenty of White Diamonds and Dumpster Divers up close and...

The White Diamond is not like a Dumpster Diver. White Diamond has a pretty full nose (not pulled in). Dumpster Diver has pretty narrow nose. Both have pretty wide tails.

I make White Diamondesque...

Agree with everything JTS says above, but since you are looking for something for the "big dumpy days" then you'll want a narrower tail for control in the steep faces. A board like the Rusty Slayer...

Yes. Had the same thing. Physical therapy was the key. My shoulder range of motion doesn't feel 100% but that is probably because the bursitis/tendonitis acted up due to scar tissue from an old...

I have installed and ride both Probox and FCS Fusion boxes. They are both good, but at this point I have a preference for the FCS Fusion boxes, mostly for reasons of simplicity and speedier...

It is indeed possible. Just stick your hand all the way into the boot, grab the toe area, and pull inside out.

It works, and it seems alot less hassle than all of these witchcraft methods I'm...

I rinse mine with fresh water and then TURN THEM INSIDE OUT to let them dry. Once they dry, I turn them back to normal. No stink, no soap or wetsuit wash necessary.

[QUOTE=RightCoastRipper;88184]its just semantics at that point.

How about a forecast for sandy hook? that place is so fickle and far out of the way, it would be nice to know when that place is...
