Xcel Infiniti 5/3 Chest Zip for 2011 is the ultimate in performance and warmth. Xcel Wetsuits have packed the Infinity with cutting edge wetsuit technology to ensure it is one of the most flexible, durable and warm wetsuits available. Xcels bamboo lining provides a greener and more efficient thermal lining to retain heat within the wetsuit, whilst their patented limestone based neoprene and X Zip chest zip system ensure maximum performance and warmth, the Xcel Infiniti for 2011 holds its reputation as one of the warmest suits on the market, which is why every year we sell out very quickly!

Oh my god, finally we have in stock the chest zip version of one of our best selling winter wetsuits. Our customers have been screaming for the chest zip version of the f bomb for ages now. We have asked Rip Curl to produce the chest zip version for a while and they have answered our call.

We have to say this wetsuit looks awesome, we just need some colder weather to try it out. We are sure it will be just as warm as the back zip Rip Curl F Bomb but have way more flex as theres no zip on the back. This wetsuit is going to be a warmer version of the ultra fexible E Bomb wetsuit.

We have a great range of summer wetsuits for Men and Women in the end of season sale.

This weekend i watched a documentary on channel 4 called The Cove which is about the capture and slaughter of thousand of dolphins in Taiji, Japan. Ric O Barry the main activist in the film spent ten years of his life helping to build up the dolphin entertainment industry, most notably capturing and training the aquatic stars of 60s TV show Flipper. Ric has since spent 35 years trying to tear that same industry down due to seeing first hand the mental decline of Flipper when she was held in captivity. He has spent his life trying to rescue and protect dolphins from the lucrative dolphin entertainment trade.

The Cove gives an insight to how the dolphins are rounded up in nets and selected for the dolphin entrainment parks such as SEA WORLD and many others around the world. The dolphins which don’t make the grade are then moved into the bay for a barbaric, slow and painful death. The film isn’t very pleasant viewing as you would expect, the level of barbaric brutality is astounding and i can not help feel i need to play some sort of part to help the film makers and activists expose what is going on in Japan.  I cant for the life of me understand why anybody would slaughter dolphins. I have surfed alongside dolphins many times and when they come up close you get a real sense they are very intelligent and gentle mammals.

If you would like to play a role in stopping the inhumane trade in dolphins please watch the film and visit the websites below for further information.

The chest zip wetsuit tends to be more flexible in the back area becuase they dont have the ridged zipper on the back. You will also find that the chest entry also lets less water in.

Take a look

The Meyerhoffer Surfboard has gained worldwide recognition since its launch due to its radical design. The surfboard which almost resembles a duckbilled platypus is being given a prestigious design award, the Gold International Design Excellence Award (IDEA).
Each part of the surfboard is made for maximum performance, the design and shape of the surfboard is very complex. It has taken Meyerhoffer a long time to get the surfboard to the finished design stage.

The surfboards weird design allows the rider to experience more speed, greater turns and most of all more waves. The bizarre shape to this longboard provides ease of paddling and performance of a shortboard.

What we say.

‘Really cant wait to try a longboard of this shape, the surfboard looks so wrong but you know it rides so right? Theres not many longboards out there which you simply look at in a picture and you know its going to be belter to ride. ‘
