Had some head high sets at First Beach this am wore my Oneil Techno Vest and glad I did, took the board to the chest a couple times and once to my bicept (which is already bruised and dark) but no brusies on chest, the extra float was nice as I found myself with a little more confidence dropping in late on some bombs.

That's not a bad idea. My sister could actually do it I'm sure. I'll have to look into that.
Have her graft this to the outside and you'll be all set.

Sure...make me kick myself for not getting down there this morning.


I doubt I'll ever go big enough to require spare air....in fact the day I do go that big would be after a terminal diagnosis so I wouldn't want it... :o

I have worked in the Scuba industry  for the last 30 years and most wetsuits are made in SE Asia  so you'll  find they are a wee bit on the small  side.  If you wear L in clothes usually it will be an XL  in wetsuit etc etc.
