I know we are trying to stray away from grammatical errors on here and whatnot, now. But as surfers, we should all be aware that we wear wet "suits" and not "suites". A suite is on of those things you stay in at a hotel, with multiple rooms and possible a kitchen. This was getting out of hand emass. Sounds like you need a suite to house all of your suits. Sorry for interrupting. Go back to bragging about how much neoprene you all own.
xcel 5/4 drylock hooded quiksilver3/2 syncro chest zip 5mm quiksilver ignite lobster claw gloves 3mm o'neill booties, idk which model gotta get 7mil gloves and booties for dead winter and any pair of trunks i can get my hands on, that stretchy sh!t is all a gimmick unless you like wearing your trunks as capris and need them to strech at the knees.
Is it ironic that we argue about usa handmade shaped boards vs. overseas boards but everyone is totally stoked with a stretchy new wetsuit(e) made in china (myself included)? Just a thought.
i agree w/ you. the problem is that while it is pretty easy to get a locally made custom board, that's not the case w/ wetsuites. sure, you can find domestically produced suites, but they are almost all exclusively west coast operations, or they suck & aren't worth it.
Suits 5/4 ripcurl hooded. 3 years old I believe and still holding up 4.5/3.5 ripcurl hooded...I know, I bought it drunk...thought I was buying a 4/3 no hood. My bad 3/2 ripcurl. All suits are either E or flash bombs Gloves 7 mil mittens ripcurl 5 mil lobster claws rip curl 3 mil gloves oniel...two holes in each glove after only a few sessions. Hence the ripcurl loyalty. There 3mils though so who cares. Boots 7 mil round ripcurl 5 mil round ripcurl No boardies. Got two hooded vests somewhere. Annnd most importantly, I got a wetsuit dryer and a boots/gloves dryer. Love dem tings
Fixed that post about proper grammar for you. The comma can be challenging. I think you wanted italics and not quotations.
