pretty sure that a few of the top suits are stitchless, they just call it different things.
Xcel has Drylock Powerseam
O'neill has Fluid Seam Weld

haven't heard of much more than that, there must be some theoretical limits based on wind speed, though I guess if you got a stationary system you could get something massive.

tsunamis can have periods of more than an hour

Cleanline is having a sale.
http://www.cleanlinesurf.com/wetsuits-sale-clearance/
bit of a mix of models and sizes available.

Previous model E bomb is on sale at kingofwatersports too...

alright, maybe i'll take another look at some other models.
It's surely not an enjoyable way to spend your downtime.

So, it's the flexibility of the shoulders that is the issue?
Not the warmth?

Have to say, if I can't fit my shoulders into the thing, it's kind of a moot point.

to all those blokes who recommend chest zips over back zips... are you taking the piss? :!: I've been trying on everything going around in the top end suits, and I nearly had to get cut out of a couple. It'd take me half the surf to get in an out of the suit. No wonder they keep you warmer, half you...

yeah, period wasn't that high in '07, maybe it was too close to land? We get a fair bit of SE swell, but it isn't often pure. Normally heading from E to S or vice versa, from what I've seen. Rarely coincides with good wind too. In Sydney? If not, I have some info for elsewhere in NSW, send me a PM. ...

Anyone got June 06? Sydney. I need to know the exact conditions. http://www.coastalwatch.com/reports/surfreporthistory.aspx Thanks Boo. I actually think it was 2007. I need the period though. The whole month was pumping as was July. Hey Coops I wasn't around Sydney in 2006, but June 2007 was the bi...

Hey Craig I'll defer to your clearly superior knowledge. Not sure what is the next step up from taking my hat off to you (and other forecasters), maybe a doff of the cap? I guess being on the east coast I was thinking more about the evolution and timing of ECLs and particularly the influence of radi...

p.s. can I have your surf diary?

Fong, you never disappoint. Shine on you crazy diamond. i copy and paste the 6 day out forecast ( i found by 3 days out it's a non event and both sites suggest the exact same conditions...so they end up equally wrong ) into a note book folder.....i than check the conditions on the day against the fo...

I met a bloke at the Goldy who had a daily surf record for Coolangatta from about 1968

How long have you kept it?
Have you noticed any changes over long periods (5yrs +)?
And for Fong's benefit, how do observations and forecasts match up?

Fong, how do you work out whether it is a pass or fail?

Yes, they go straight home into the tubs with fresh water where I let them soak for an our or so then hang them inside out , outside.. And I have been using Piss Off from Ripcurl to help kill the smell, but at $10 a bottle I am going through a bit. What else can I use without rooting the wetsuit? p...

Bumfluff, may I first say I'm a bit miffed that you changed your signature. I was getting a lot of entertainment from your previous one. Secondly, I'm going to avoid most of the obvious opportunities to ridicule you, as I'm not entirely convinced that you aren't merely a figment of my imagination se...
