Got an O’Neil 4/3 Mutant and a 6/4 E bomb fireskin RIP CURL. O’Neil vastly superior in so many ways but wouldn’t be without the fireskin for when it gets really chilly. Have repaired the Fireskin myself with a rubberised kit. Sick of sending it back only to wait 4 months for a new suit. Tom the ding king has some good info on irishsurfer.com for wetsuit repair. It seems we should be as good at fixing our wet suits as we are at boards. Gap in the marked for wetsuit repair? Anyone’s Mammy handy with a sewing kit and rubberised glue?

Oh by the way the noodle link is http://projectbikini.com/category/uncategorized/page/2/ for a fine Irish lass in a bikini. As I was saying its great to see the Eastern Europeans embracing our wonderful culture.

Knee gave way on mine after what can be described as a very inactive season last year. sent it back 3 months ago and got a call yesterday that it was ready. they replaced the knee panel, not the suit. other than that the suit was perfect, no complaints. will be pretty pissed if the repair is not good though.
btw never dealing with tubes again,what a joke of a shop, at least before they were some bit surfer orientated, now its just a fashion store mad.gif

One of the lads went in when the new store opened and couldn't even find where the boards were hidden laugh.gif

Wetsuit Outlet - at €250 its a steal, I reckon - if your buyin one, Ill get one with you and halve the shipping costs

huh.gif - just tried it there and it worked for me - either way, wetsuitoutlet.co.uk - search for Rip Curl Fireskin, and the 2008 model is comin up for £170 - which is around the €250, shipping is £7, so still cheaper then here I think!

Some site mate, Id be tempted by the quicksilver one myself after jamkels reviews of them

mpb- 09-27-2007
Not working for me, that was my first port of call but the site is not accessible. Looks like there is some kind of DNS issue that I cant be arsed to understand.
