Well, it's been a journey. We moved to the mountains so I didn't surf. Hardly at all. We moved back down to San Diego, but I'm in land now because we couldn't afford the Coast anymore and I'm trying to get back into surfing my old supreme wetsuit two of them in fact, one was a full suit with a 2/1 long sleeve chest zip that fit me when I weigh 270 pounds the other is a short sleeve. I think it's just one mill also fit me when I weighed that much. I've lost about 70 pounds. I'm trying to get back into surfing and I would like to find another wetsuit. I've been trying to find these cause I like them and they were very good to surf with however, I have had no success so does anybody know if this company is still around or have an address for them? If not, can you recommend another wetsuit brand that is as flexible stretchy and light as these were thanks and good to be back look outside wave
Sadly they are no longer around, fantastic suits for SUP. Thank you beasho for introducing me into the brand. I had 1mm L short sleeve/long leg. I had XL 3/2 longsleeve/long leg. And XXL 5/4/3 longsleeve/long leg. All of them fit well. My only complaint is the neck would get flushed with water with duck dives. But for SUP, worked fantastic. No other suit is as easy to get on/off.
Just hearsay but I believe SUPreme may have been affiliated with Hyperflex & Neosport. I had Hyperflex too, but prefer the SUPreme, The 3/2 Hyperflex is stretchy like the SUPreme, 4/3 Hyperflex not so much. I do not like the backzip Hyperflex, definitely recommend the chestzip. I did not have much luck with the 3/2, but the 4/3 has had held up much better. I had XXL in both. The 4/3 fit ok (though arm sleeves a little on the short side), the 3/2 legs were a bit too long and the arms were a bit short for my 6'2" frame. Hyperflex offers greenprene which I always wanted to try out, mine were standard.
I do find I prefer the alternative neoprene. I can't stand the smell of og petroleum neoprene. I like the limestone based neoprene that Needessentials offers (XXl fits me perfect). Not stretchy like SUPreme though. Worth the extra money to get the liquid sealed version. They have a natural rubber which is on my list to try. Hostevie is another brand I have been wanting to try out (SD based) based on the price point.
One thing you could try is the Patagonia impact suit and wear it under your SUPreme wetsuits. I love wearing mine if the water is not too warm. Size up for sure, I wear the XXL. I would not recommend wearing it inside a 1mm wetsuit though, likely to stress the seams. I find I can go down 1 mm in my wetsuit when wearing the impact suit and have similar warmth than 1 mm thicker with no impact suit.
