yet another gimmick for the corporate surf industry to make money off of "new technology"
i can see it now, plug in your wetsuit to your cig lighter to charge battery, along with your waterproof ipod and waterproof cell phone. if i ever see any of the fore mentioned at my break, they're gettin stuffed, and shown the way to the parking lot.
continuation of the bastardization of the sport angers me.
the electric potato peeler they sold a few Christmas' back. Sort of overkill, eh? All things considered, that kind of money would be better spent traveling to warmer water and climates. Zzzzzzztttttt! Electric Shock Therapy.

H-Bombs are out. $1000 for a 3/2 and $1100 for a 4/3. Has anyone tried it? I'm moving to Netherlands in January so thinking about getting one for the cold North Sea.
PS - WRV in Va Beach has them & everything's on sale at 15% off, think through the weekend.
Getting mine soon....
just ordered mine went to that demo thing they were doing a few weeks agoa dn tried it on and my parents asked if i liked it and i said yes so we ordered on in the 3/2 ill be glad when it comes so i will be able to surf as long as i want until the battery runs out.if your wondering if my parents are stupid no they are not they just love me more ever since my sister graduated from college we have more money. also i have very rich family and they too helped pay for it as a christmas gift and im still gonna get stuff for christmas.
word on the street:
The rip curl rep stopped by K-Coast a 2 weeks ago and was showing it off. He may have left a suit at the shop for display. Pretty sure K-Coast isn't planning of sellin it yet ( costs over a grand) So theyyyy may stilll have it,if u wanna peek it.
For only $100 more, seems like a no brainer to get the 4/3, right? How do you think this suit would compare to a 6/5/4 in terms of warmth? Think the H-bomb would be comparable or significantly better?
I've looked on Rip Curl's website and it seems like they've done a lot of testing - electronic and saltwater testing to prevent corrosion, testing the electromagnetic field with sharks, and battery testing. Guess it's going to be a gamble to see how well this thing stands the test of time. Would be a shame if the heating unit stopped working or if the batteries went kaput. $1000 is a LOT of money....
