RealSurf Surfers' Forum

On the Back vs Chest zip preference, I have a very short neck and quite a lot of muscle built up in that area which makes the back zip option very uncomfortable as the extra thickness of batwings, Velcro and flaps etc interferes with my head lift. Hence a preference for chest zips, I even have a sho...

Not sure how you can say that when many of the surfers at the pointy end where well into the 20-30 area.

No really, I like mini mals too!

It has the furry lining, which while it dries fast is not as warm, flexible or durable as my old Onei...

I thought the stabiliser in twinny would be there to let you feel the centre of the board, much like the dicky little ones some folk use in quads? Newy also has the best chicks too.

Assuming you are male
