I've followed Wavelength's lead, how can you go past a good beaver at that price?

Can you let us know How it is when you're laying on the zip?

I'd cut that tail off..






Quick update after a very short session in eensy waves:

Laying on zip is no issue, don't really notice it.

The tail is ..... gonski.

Happy with the wettie -- and with the unhip retro look.

Determined to see this thread get to four pages.





Whats the saying, Picks or it didn't happen



Thanks for not saying that to AndyRoo about the little black dress....

For sale:







You could make a good pair of incontinence pants out of that . Who could you give them to ? Scotty OB ??????????

I like your style Vanders.

We could also patent the hipster lap-lap...

Why, because you would have left it on?

I think you could be onto something there!

Hey for $56.00 delivered down from $159.99 how could you go wrong?
It feels very very flexible, and much better for my shoulder with the front zip. I'm happy.

I've just got to say this was one of the best deals in a long time. Surfed with it now 3 times and it's awesome. I was a little worried cutting off the beaver tail I'd lose some of its ability to keep water from coming up from the bottom but it's worked out perfect. Nice and warm with almost no water influx. Loving the front zip too.
Best $56 bucks I've ever spent.

The big question is it 'the hipster coat jacket' apple candy pink like your new board.

I would pay good money to get a photo of that combo.

yeh i sussed out a oneil one and a billabong one. i love oneil,and im anti billabong,but the billabong one was way sexy i might buy it just to compare.....the rubber was stretchy on both,but compared to the non front zip hipster models they seemed pretty restrictive....that is on a dry land test.....
