So far, I've seen Feral, Buell, Srface, Isurus all currently have deals going. Feral and Isurus are giving away stuff with a purchase and the others are straight discounts.

Any updates on Crooked Wetsuits? I noticed this exchange program on their site, seems like a decent offer:

Got old wetsuits kicking around, taking up space and smelling like low-tide? Send them to us! We'll handle recycling them properly and in exchange, hook you up with $50 off a Crooked wetsuit. It's a win-win, really.

weird to see people say the hyperfreak is warm. That air cuts right through that techno jizz batter
Super comfy suit though.

Picked up a hooded 4/3, non smooth skin. Seems like a well made suit with quality materials, not as warm as expected although this might be a personal tolerance thing.Any updates on Crooked Wetsuits? I noticed this exchange program on their site, seems like a decent offer:

I think it's just word of mouth. Haven't heard many bad things about them
2 mil full is a great SoCal suit. It feels like cheating. the past couple years, I've been in a 2mil full (Isurus), late Spring through Dec. I'm actually still in my s/s 2mil for sunny morning-afternoon surfs. Wore the l/s full a couple times last week cause people had said the water was dropping and I was toasty with all the paddling. Might consider adding booties soon... before switching to 3mil. LOL
I'm also seeing more feral in the water. Seem like good suits.
biggest difference I've noticed in the non-custom yammies like Isurus and Feral is the suit feels much lighter for it's thickness, retains it's flexibility longer, and dries noticeably faster.
Yeah bro you're short enough that they'll all fit you. V lucky.
You may run a little warm too. I remember that day we surfed in 2mils when the water turned and I was cold and you were fine if I recall.
But I have to say I am pretty jealous of gentlemen's hour surfs. I oftern forget how much warmer it is
No, I’m a pussy with cold water. That’s why I’ve been so impressed with these 2mil suits.
I was wearing Isurus and you were not. LOL. Technoblatter?
San Diego is actually only about 2,200 miles from the South American Equator. I'm no oceanographer, but I'd bet money that is enough distance to have an effect on Oceanside water temps.
That being said, you'd be fine in a 3/2 in Oceanside for most of the year apart from the offshore winds. The winds funnel through the canyon and as a result Oside has some of the strongest offshore winds in all of the County.
What’s an offshore wind? Must be nice. Usually blowing the other way by the time I get to surf.
must be nice to surf with no crowds in the middle of the day while the rest of us chumps are at work
how's the Buell XS nut hugger suit going for ya @ReForest ?
I’m kind of in between on everything. If it has attached hood I have to get a tall. No hood I can L, XL, LT in just about anything.
yeah, those 20 minutes are the best part of my day
Pretty good. Wore it the past 3 days in a row.
The CONS are the arms pits are a little loose (not exactly sure why) so i got a little arm pit red rub going on. Also, the neck is like a turtle neck and got bunched up in the back and caused some rubbing on the right side of my neck.
The PROS are that it was $60.00 bucks. Its a full 3mm but feels thinner (like a 2mm) and its stretchy. We'll see how long it lasts.
