Who's the best local source for neoprene?

[Kevin Simmons]

I need to get a hood and booties and a friend wants a wetsuit. Is there a good local source for this, preferably part of the wind riding community?

Thanks,
Kevin.

I'd look to dive shops for a hood and booties. I highly recommend "Scuba Ted's" in Springville. I've dealt with them and with "Water World" in Orem. Not a big fan of "Water World".

"Big 5" is the cheapest I've found wetsuits. There are cheaper places online. Do a search on this forum and you should find a thread or two.

if you have any sport industry affiliation, try broform.com. i've been hooked up with them for many years and you get some good deals on lots of different sports equipment. recently i bought a 3/2 wettie for $60 with shipping from hyperflex through broform. they also have aleeda wetsuits, but they are more expensive. i like my hyperflex so far with the exception of the legs. they have a panel of super stretchy material which is nice when you are pushing your heels through, but the spray likes to work it's way up this flexible part and pool in your legs. i don't know if the spray is less or more on a windsurfer.

so, i would suggest getting hooked up with broform. all you need to do is prove that you are eligable for a proform from any sport industry. i used to ski coach and that is when i got hooked up. if you have an affiliate with a retail store, they can sign up the store and get you hooked up too. they have some windsurfing and kiting stuff on there, but it's mostly old stuff or not that great of deals, but still less than retail....[/url]
