    I have a feeling the answer will be "it's not worth it" but I'll ask. Does anyone know a place in the Delmarva area that could put a new zipper in a wetsuit? The suit is old and I should just buy a new one, but I can't justify it if that's all thats wrong. I'll call myself "green" not "cheap"

    Its a chest zip, and a few of the teeth broke, so the whole thing needs replaced.
    Thanks

    Side note: My knee surgery recovery is doing great, 2.5 months out and I went surfing saturday! Physical therapist said he's never seen anyone recover this quick. Also ran 2 miles Friday. I'm back B*tches!!!

    I bet you could find a local seamstress or something to work on that for you

    Go to a taylor/seamstress. If you can find a zipper it shouldn't cost too much

    Congrats on your recovery! Keep pushing, just don't overdo it.
