Where are the wetsuits?

[Planktom]

Shortage of suits in UK too - disrupted production and export from Asia to blame, no doubt.

There is definitely a rise of new surfers due to covid, which doesn't help. I know there's a shortage of gloves and booties. I assume covid is to blame.

I've bought a few wetsuits from Cleanline, great crew and good prices too.

A former schoolmate of mine from our high school days in Puerto Rico living in the N. Oregon area hooked me up during a visit. Over the following years I bought a 6/4 and a 4/3 and a couple of skegs. Good service.

I second Cleanline’s great service and crew. Got a couple volan fins there recently unavailable elsewhere.

Wavestorms and wetsuits are in high demand. Some shapers are having difficulties getting blanks too. Cleanline is a great choice. I agree they're great with service.

i have a couple of suits sitting in my closet, been cleaning house during this pandemic, they are 4/3 oneill psycho full suit (no hood) and a 6/4 oneill psycho full hooded winter suit, both XLS, both back zips, in good condition. however, the 4/3 has a fin gash on in the calf area (doesn't go thru) and a tiny slit in chest area (doesn't go thru) I've been wearing newer suits that my son got deals on. very cheap, can ship. dm me for pics & details. both about 6-8 years old, but not used in 2-3 seasons. and as we all know, 4/3's are a fringe suit, so not worn often and the winter suit used sparingly by a weekend warrior, never a daily driver.

It's not the demand that is high, it's the supply that due to Covid is very, very low. In Europe there is also a shortage of everything that is coming from Asia.

I get email ads from these guys 2-3 times/ week. I bought a few things from them over the years. They're ok to deal with and prices and inventory are good.

I have been on the hunt for a 3/2 chestzip wetsuit size LS for a few weeks now.
Ive tried all the local shops and tried to order from multiple sites only to have the orders canceled?
is COVID to blame or is this a greater conspiracy to keep my sessions shorter?

Does it have to be a chest zip?
