My dad was complaining a little the other day about the wrist of is wet suit being tight. I joked that he needed to add zippers. I have seen some older wetsuits that have zippers the full length of the sleeves and I was wondering if anyone might know of a place that could add zippers that would atleast reach the elbows.

It is not for me and it is only the wrist. I told him he just needs to wear it more. I have no problem getting in my suit.

You will probably be disappointed I didn't get a Gulf Mag. But I ended up getting a 48" Rhino. The plan was to use it Sunday but the currents were just too bad.

Did yall go out Sunday? Any luck?

Not disappointed at all....... the Rhino may be a better gun given that it seems to have a heavier stock. You know I've had problems with my JBL jamming and was surprised to get the 3rd degree from JBL about it. The gun has only been shot 4-5 times. I have to admit I was a little surprised to get so much grief over this....not sure what the warranty stands for.....at least 45 min of haggling between myself, Hydrosport and JBL :(

The Rhino is a wood gun that is covered with a rubber coating. I just want to see after awhile how the coating will hold up.
