Yeah, I already put that link up.

About 500 aussie pesos.

I'm reticent to pay hipster money, without going the full hog and getting a custom Japanese suit.

does look tits though.

To tell the truth eggs are one thing I avoid buying when I’m grocery shopping. So you may say I’m an intermittent egg buyer who usually lets someone else buy them.

Well my old Xcel looks like it will get me through till summer when I can buy a new one cheap on sale. It’s getting a bit stretched and I had to cut some of the tape off the hem that had come unstuck but it’s been pretty good for three years. I bought a springy version last year. Narrow transition from thermal rashes to steamer though.

I'm going to keep the Needs LS Spring.....it's stiff and hard to get on and off, but very, very warm.

I bought a squid lid off them, and the cinch cord broke.

I rang them up and they immediately offered to send out a replacement so pretty stoked with that level of service.

Thanks to Trev, I rang Zee and they are going to seal the seams on my O'Neill LS Spring with smoothie rubber (Buddy posted a link) for a fee.

So cheers Trev.

Pick up my springsuit on Friday.

You can get rubber cement from the hardware store and seal the seams yourself.

They are going to tape and seal the seams for me.

A step up from my bodge job.

Yeah, well I paid a professional to do it, and I expect a professional job.

That will then give me a three wetsuit quiver- all Back Zips.

Baby, I'm back.

Which I would no doubt have done.

They look garbage.
I bought an $80 brand new Peak 32 steamer from sideways and it was so stiff I couldn’t short board in it as it restricted my paddle and pop up.
Could mid length and log ok with the extra stability.
