The sun is out! The wind has calmed down and the waves are shaping up! It's so nice out that I have already forgotten about the hell we went through over the past four days. With sun and temps in the 50s all week all we'll have is a bunch of fun waves to remind us of this past weekends storm. At the moment the wind is still out of the north and the waves are pretty unorganized but a few spots are starting to show some rideable walls. Wind will go NW over night and more westerly in the morning tomorrow. Waves should still have some size but be much more organized and lined up. Your best bet is to check Steve's morning report either by phone or internet for condition at sunrise.
Our buddy Greg who also happens to be the local O'neill rep rolled through the shop this morning spreading some stoke and some insight into the upcoming years wetsuit line. Steve and I are both stoked on what O'neill has going on. The Psycho Freak is still Epic and the redesigned Heat is going to be the deal as far as next years winter suits go. I am still loving the Mutant for is versatility and value. And we can't forget the O'neill epic which gives you tons of features and quality at a budget price.
However, the NEW suit that has me really STOKED!!! is the all new Psycho RG8 (regenerate). This suit features an all new ultraflex RG8 neoprene which is an environmentally concise product. In most cases 30 to 40% of neoprene used to make wetsuits never makes it out of the factory. Most of it tends to be scraps that are too small to use in a wetsuit. O'neill and thier global partners have figured a way to turn all those old scraps into a new useable neoprene that is the heart of the Psycho RG8. On top of that they are using recycled plastics on both the inner and outer later of the suit and I can tell you that they feel really good and smooth. Most of your ecofriendly suits today are made from a Limestone based neoprene. O'neill has been using that technology just as long as anyone and the original rubber in the RG8 is no different. Chest-zip, super stretchy, and it looks really solid. Be on the lookout for this suit later this summer in 4/3s and 3/2s.
