Neck on my psycho1 is shot. Does O’Neil still repair 4yr old suits?

Got a hyperdreak fire+ for $300 on Amazon. looks a lot like the psycho1 but maybe warmer bc of the chest panel.

Pleased to see out of season wetsuits finally on sale again.

Just Yolo'd a 3/2, 4/3 and 4/3 hooded for under $500
Have you received your suits yet?

I got the Rip Curl right away but as of yet haven't heard a peep from Buell. Trying to not to be the guy that emails and calls to check the status.

I ordered a Buell for the kids on July 2 and it arrived a couple of days ago.

2 business days after placing my order they sent me a confirmation, then a shipping notification a couple days later, and then a delivery notification.

I would email them. Something might be up.

Super low prices on Da kine wetsuits at the warehouse, good chance to get a winter suit on the cheap.

I ordered and was confirmed on the 4th but have not received shipping confirmation yet. They prolly got slammed from the sale and had a bunch of people off last week. I would imagine there will be some catch up.

They're not. The girl that does it in N County has a drop off box then you pick it up from the store the box is located in. Pretty slick and she did a great job on a tear in my old mutant.

Thanks, bros!

This heat wave is sure to push us into trunks territory, time to fix up the old rubber that is worth keeping around.

Hyperfreak fire 4/3+ is a lot of wetsuit, feels like I could surf Antarctica in it. And the soulders are really tight, plus with the seams and the blue/grey color it makes you look like a marvel character.
I haven't had mine on since the beginning of the year, 2mm hyperfreak is enough wetsuit for most any day on the central coast and sooo comfy. My favorite wetsuit ever. For reference though, I don't really get cold and I like comfortable suits.
