If you are looking for fully made in Australia, there is a small company on the Gold Coast Hwy at Broadbeach. Can't think of their name off hand but they are near the kite board shop and opposite the Asian grocery supermarket. They make custom wetsuits on the premises. Their wetties look good. You c...

Showed the crew who all commented on the smell (positive). I will see how long it lasts and if it develops any glase. Thanks aga...

Does a criminal record prevent him from going back to the US of A once he has completed his 3 day seasoning?

Sh.t, he/she could surf. Used to be a hero - guess I'll have to relook at my heros.
Could this be a result of some horrendous wipeout we don't know about?
Can't be natural!!!
