that wetsuit discussion...

[Beanpole]

Should have got the next size down given the looseness.

3/2 Yamamoto, backzip, medium, near new.

tempting.

very tempting.

very tempting.

Get it Steve, have it on rotation with your other wetty, not wasteful as it doubles it's lifetime.

[steve shearer]

totally agree.

Once you've gone Yamamoto it's hard to go back.

[Drailed]

Next suit of mine gonna be one of those Isurus I reckon, you recommend?

[alakaboo]

Update on my Isurus after about 5 surfs.
Basically the same as the first review. Flexible, not noticeably warmer, dries quickly.
I think there may be something to the reduced fatigue but haven't had a really grueling paddle session.
The toggle thing to tighten the chest flap is not very grippy and doesn't work well but there's still no flushing.
The zip free cut is still stupid and unnecessary, when it does I'll get a chest zip again.

[Drailed]

Anyone who actually surfs?

I've reluctantly come to that conclusion, but it's very hard to separate out psychosomatic factors.

Probably/possibly a placebo effect.

Those feral suits are pretty good Steve, they're made by/for a mob in SF. Very popular with the locals at Ocean Beach and still a lot down my way.
Not fully featured, no liner etc. But you don't need that.

Take their temperature ranges with a grain of salt, the OB crew are pretty hardcore.

[steve shearer]

Yeah, this would be a dawn patrol suit for me.

I've heard the yammie rubber on those Ferals is good.

[steve shearer]

Msg sent for wetsuit.

Here I go boys.....more yammie!

[Wyre]

Shit, I was looking at this yesterday. I sent message too! This could be a RS wetsuit-off!

[Wyre]

I was checking with him re: size though- I'm more a MS , so not sure if the wetty is too long for a stump-legged fella like me.

[buddy]

Too many box ticks for Shearer though
3/2
M
Backzip
Yammie

[buddy]

How tall are you Wyre?

[Wyre]

175cm

Agreed, it has Steve's name all over it

[steve shearer]

it's a dream ticket.

You reckon it's legit?

Toots, can you pick it up for me so I don't get scammed?

I'm scared of bots.
