that wetsuit discussion...

[bobjs]

Does anyone know if C-Skins Australia are still operating and is the Byron store still open?

The website works but on-one ever answers the phone and the email addresses don't work.

[steve shearer]

yes C-skins shop open in Byron.

Whats looking hot for 2014 fellas? Im looking at rippy again but not sure on the colourway.

What's that uk site with the cheap wetties?

[Sushi Surfer]

Anyone have suggestion to a summer long sleeve wetsuit for sun protection? Do they sell 1mm steamer or 1.5mm?

Thanks a lot

I like a 2mm short john, with a long or short sleeve rashy over the top.
Short john gives unrestricted freedom of arms, the rashy stops water flooding into the short john and keeps sun off shoulders.

The UK site got shut down, Coops. Can't send to Australia any more.

Here's an email excerpt from two weeks ago:

"I am afraid that we are no longer able to ship O’Neill, Ripcurl or Quiksilver products to Austraila. The reason for this is that these companys have their own distribution in Australia and they are not happy with us shipping product to their territory.

We can ship all of the other brands that we supply so if there is another wetsuit on there that you would like then we would be more than happy to get that out to you."

So you could buy a Mystic, Bong or Xcel, which they sell. Or if you prefer the former three, find a different store.

I still think it's directly due to this thread and mentioned as such but still couldn't convince them to change their policy. You'd think given their sales volume they could just say a big fcuk you to e.g. Rip Curl Australia.

What is the website? I can use a proxy shipping company: http://www.borderlinx.com/

Oh... I see.

[Leroybrown238]

I have a cheap brand new 2014 Ripcurl E Bomb E4 C/Z 4/3 XL wetsuit for sale in the for sale section if anyone is interested.

[Neville]

Has anyone ever bought a wetsuit from the US.
I see that the Ripcurl EBomb are about $150 cheaper there?

[Cpt.Caveman]

Just traded my hole riddled Ripcurl E-Bomb for an O'Niell Psycho 3.

God the difference in quality! Miles better suit with much better quality construction.

Never again will I get Ripcurl, it had arpit holes one month out of the warranty period after washing it off after every surf and hanging it out properly. Shocking...
