For that matter, most of the times we got rid of the old wetsuit long before it got the the old worn out dirty stinky state.

But still, for all of you that are worried about what happens to neoprene when you throw it away - Rip Curl Wetsuits comes with a solution - Project resurrection.

Who says that Hawaii is to warm to make decent wetsuits. People from XCEL wetsuits can obviously find motivation even in mild and warm weather. They have just claimed their second in a row "Best Wetsuit of The Year" award for their Infiniti Wetsuit.

To prove it Surftech took part in the 2008 Ford Ironman event held in Tempe, Arizona where they let the athletes test a couple of their stand up paddle surfboards.  For many of them, Surftech’s involvement in the event was their first introduction to standup paddling. And the response? “It's an amazing workout”, comments Heather Fuhr, 2008 Ironman Hall of Fame inductee, “You’re just working your core the whole time”. “It’s so much fun, and such a great workout!”, commented Megan Flanagan of Austin Texas who won her age group in Tempe in her first ever Ironman event. “ I can’t wait to get a standup board back home to train on”.
