Re: that wetsuit discussion...
Thats what my 14 year old said too.
Higher energy output and metabolism.
But he caught 3 or 4 waves to my one.
It was still a great deal to get 3 wetties for half price.
I'd return mine and get a Dawn Patrol or invest proceeds into an Isurus if i could.

No wonder it's a bit stiff.steve shearer wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2024 9:27 am.
I know it's an inch thicker, but even allowing for that it's way, way heavier and stiffer and harder to paddle in.

I have the 3:3 version and it's great. Even when it's really 4:3 hooded weather I wear the isurus for any surf under an hour as it's so much nicer.steve shearer wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2024 9:50 amWill pay the premium for this next time.

Still think zipperless is a waste of time, chest zip is easier with no discernible negatives.
Also picked up an isurus 1.5mm top on special for windy days in Hawaii and Mexico. It's deluxe but too warm.

If it gets too old (it's not) I'm interested in the O'Neill top of the range. Their sizing is good and they offer LT, which suits my svelte figure.

Is Steve having difficulty with converting millimeters to imperial measurements?
……or just hyperbole laid on too thickly.

In theory I could go MT but not sure there are any more of them around and often I'm sceptical that they are going to be long enough in the limbs. It's easier if you're LS like Steve.

I'm just a straight up M.
Every M wetsuit I have ever tried from any manufacturer has fitted me perfectly.
