Been in CPT (Blouberg) about 2 years now and ready to take up board. I been doing a bit of research and would just like to find out what gear specs would best suite me.
Unsure on a board and a suite
Willing to Spend R1 500 / R2 000 On a board &
R1 500 / R2 000 On a suite
Im about 1.78m +/- 85kg
Ideally I would like to get a decent suite something that would last and keep me in the water for 2 maybe 3 hours at a time. I checked out the Derevko but looking at some of the comments makes me unsure.
Check out http://www.factory7.co.za, there are always crazy specials for Boards and Suits. Give Derek a call and he can help you make a more informed choice and answer anything Board/Wetsuit related.
Good Luck, hope to see you in the water soon!

you dude, try find out who your local supplier of reef suits is. really good suits. maybe try pm lenatscience for that info. then board wise, Rossi usually does customs for +-R1400.00 i rate his boards and the price is good to!

Some of my friends are raving about the Ripcurl Fireskin suit. It's very very warm and comfi and flexi... R1800. Very good value for money
