Well I went to the Freedive Shop in West Sac today and walked away empty handed....KIDDING!!!!!
I got a Yazbeck. Totally stoked.
Learned a lot talking with Vanessa, Russ and Greg. All were really helpful.
First time I had to use lube to donn a suit. Different is all I can say.
Sure slid on easy with the amout that was put on.
I can say it felt a LOT better than any of the other suits I have ever worn.
Looking forward to getting in the water with it.
Thinking maybe TC this weekend.
Sorry Naoaki, I had to be back before Becky got home from work....Rain check.

You're gonna love it Tote.

The feeling and flexibility and warmth is insane. Go heavy on the lube and the the suit will slide on and off super easy.

Stoked for you!

I was glad I wore my speedo there. Lube city! But MAN did it go on easy.
And I feel much more comfortable not needing help to take it off or put on the hood. TOTALLY STOKED!!!

For sure...I could never get the hood and zipper of my old suit by myself...with the Yazbeck I slip it on solo and am good to go!   :smt003

Let's go shoot some fish together sometime soon!

One thing about the Yazbeck is that it has a large "face hole" so you can pull it back while paddling without getting choked.  Be extra careful getting on and off, even with the lycra the suits are pretty fragile.
