Leo, best place to buy is from me!!As Ive just started stocking these, and Ill hook you up. ( could I be any more blatant)?? Chris and
I have bought the "Lite", and its sweet, Im sure the classic and pro have theyre bonuses being more expensive, but the lite is more
flexible than a wet suit and keeps you totally dry. Im just wearing a pair of long johns and a hoody under mine and its sweet. No more
need to take a towel to the beach. Take a look at www.twistandturn.com, they seem to have more info than the actual Ocean rodeo web
site. The real bonus of the pro is that it has front zip, but lets face it theres always some one around to do you up, or you can use
your handle pass leash.
Hope SA is treating you well. Hows the sonic going?

It picked up nicely in the estuary for a while this afternoon.... around 16 knots Easterly, but dropped off again pretty quickly.
