desperately trying to find a new short arm long leg back zip wetsuit in 2/2 or 3/2 LS. Had surgery on arms so no chest zip.
They're not easy to find, so I've bought a steamer and taken it to a sail maker/repaired and had them cut the arms off and stitch it up for me. Or a boat shop that makes Bimini, tonnaus and covers etc.
I currently have o'niel size LS and know they fit me well so pretty keen to stick to these if possible. Tried rip curl many sizes and could not get a good fit. Shoulder surgery prevents use of chest zips. Got told there was a sale on at a place in Cronulla this weekend of old stuff but they won't do phone orders.
Desperate for a LS Epic, 3//2 Psycho, and 2 Gooru, last years model (which is back zip)...
Pls contact me if u can help.
What is dfo contact details? Can't seem to find it on net. I would need to phone order as none in SAN.

In sa. Bloody autocorrect.
Strange......it's not an O'neil but they have a Gun sails short arm long leg back zip wetsuit at the Strath Windsurfing Shop. Unless i am wrong Strathalbyan is in SA!
I find it very strange that you start a thread saying you can't find a short arm long leg back zip wetsuit in SA. You are told there is one in SA but you still claim there is not....very strange.
Not to worry good luck getting one by phone! Pity when you could drive to Strath and try one on to verify it fits rather than risk ordering with out checking it fits. You never know you might be surprised what you find in your own state.
I will get down there when I have time - but was hoping for a brand I am familiar with and know that fits. Never heard of Gun and don't know anyone with them. Given the challenges I am having I will probably take a risk, lose a couple of hours driving and about $50 in fuel in the hope this unheard of brand fits, in which case I will be happy! :-)
I appreciate the help. Following up avenue's in order of ease (I have relatives in Syndey coming to Adelaide next Tuesday who know the cronulla shop and live down the road, went to the sale on the weekend - if they had what I needed, was the easiest, cheapest and lowest risk option)!

Gun Sails is a German brand and a very big brand in Europe! Hayden has a Gun sails Steamer I assume you have seen him sailing with it on at Semaphore.
As for the drive, you list Middelton as one of your favourite spots there are 2 ways to get from Prospect to Middleton roughly the same distance one drives through Strathalbyn and right past the Strath Windsurfing Shop so you can go to the shop on your way to or back from Middleton at no addition petrol or time cost to you.
Sometimes you will never find out unless you go.
