Richard Hutchinson, Rip Curl Shop, Newquay, aged 36. Selling wetsuits for 8 years.
The blue steel zip that appears in all the back zip suits for Rip curl is marine grade stainless steel sliders, then the actual zip itself is blue steel so it is actually impossible to break the zip. The only way to break one is to over-zip one way or another which you would have to really try hard to do. This year’s E3 foam has an 11% stretch margin so we’re finding that ladies can come in and try on a suit and even if they are bigger on the shoulders or hips they will always find a suit that is an excellent fit. Our size range of size 6 to 16 has covered every single female that has come to us for a suit. The new E Bomb comes in white and grey which is proving popular, Rip Curl are going with more colour this season which is good to see. The E Bomb is a pro rider’s standard wetsuit, it’s designed with the highest spec for ultimate flexibility, with no liquid tape so great flex. |
