This year I bought a 4.3 Excel Infinity drylock to surf during the winter. The wetsuit is pretty warm and allows a good paddle but is falling apart. Despite all the care I have with the wetsuit, it is falling apart, the edge of the neck is torn and the seal of the legs too. I contacted the store where I bought it to try to repair it and they told me to send the wetsuit in when I\'m not using it because the repair will take at least 4 weeks. I decided to sew it myself to try to prevent the wet suit from completely falling apart. Another day in a session of good waves I got more than 1foot line hanging from my knee, it was ridiculous.  I am not happy and to be honest was the wetsuit with the worst finish I\'ve ever had to date.


 Very good board,  Thursday, 30 October 2008

I am very happy with my stoker. Easy to paddle, changes rails very well and it's fast when you need speed to pass the section.
For heavy guys like me the 7.6 is the perfect solution for an intermediate board between long and shortboard. Detail, the board goes well in chest high waves. In fact it's very fun to ride.
