find me a stock 3/2 LS spring back zip, and I'll agree with you.

You're right, that pretty much doesn't exist (I'm assuming you want GBS not flatlock). The Mystic Star https://www.mysticboarding.com/products ... -32#000000 does actually tick all of your boxes, except for the fact that it's a kitesurfing brand. Whether that makes any difference at all who knows

Insisting on 3/2 basically knocks out almost every other brand apart from C Skins who do one but it's a chest zip (https://c-skins.com/collections/mens/pr ... 7389869099).

For me, saving $400 would probably dry my backzip tears but I acknowledge that I don't have the same history of struggle

You could just buy a 3/2 back zip steamer, cut the legs off and stitch it up.

Which is what I do with all my worn out steamers.
But I cut the arms off as well.
Who the hell wants a a long sleeved spring suit?

You live on the Sunshine Coast, Trev. Don't even need a wetsuit.

I wonder if anyone makes a hooded 3/2 GBS BZ LS springy

You need paddle gloves with that.

Bought a new Rip Curl Flashbomb today. The old one seemed baggy in the legs and cold. As the young fella in the shop said “mate are you just surfing a lot and not running or walking that much? You’re getting old man chicken legs”

Completely correct.

Sunshine plus Scottish skin.
I wear one for Sun protection if I'm out in the middle of the day.
And maybe five times a year when it's single digits temp and strong swesterlies.
Don't forget I mostly surf before you even wake up.

I've bought just one steamer since I came back up here from Sydney. Thirteen years.
The couple I had in Sydney are now spring suits.

Back zip of course.

At 6am at the Sunshine Coast Airport this morning it was 6 degrees Celsius. You are allowed to wear a wetsuit.

thanks Foamingham.

these dipshits here don't seem to understand the basic rules of chemistry.

Thanks for the sleuthing Godsave.

If I have to dry the backzip tears I'll get another Need LS Spring CZ for $180.

2.5/2 which is close enough.


I fcuking hate steamers.

With crowded small waves on the sunny coast there’s a lot of sitting around to be done in the surf.
Gonna get pretty cold if the weather is 6C and no wetty

Sounds like 2 millimetre long arm short leg stuff.

Trev's 70 years old, he can wear a fccckn heated dry suit if he wants. Stop running your stupid fccckn mouths.
