Hello,
With a heavy heart I write this to inform you of the latest loss to the surfing world. O’Neill wetsuits has decided to pull their size XXXL wetsuits
from there product line leaving us larger men unable to purchase there fine suits and to be comfortable in colder climates. It was explained
to me that the XXXL suits were not profitable enough to continue there production. In addition to that it is sick that you would be willing to make custom colors for $100 more but not a larger suit?
I am not fat nor abnormally formed and arms are not large. I am 6’3″ tall 220. An XXXL is less restrictive in the chest and shoulders, the O’Neill XXXL
has more stomach pooch material though annoying is worth the ability to actually paddle. I have surfed for thirty two years and have purchased
new suits just about every year. A 3/2mm and 4/3mm for the winter and a spring and vest in the summer. Two growing boys too close together
in age to hand me down and growing fast need full’s, springs, and vests each year and one full and spring for the wife every couple of years.
That’s just about seven to ten rubber products a year.
Industry needs to realize that the younger generation that is moving product faster are not the buyers, the older or larger guy is, he is the one that
forks out the cash. If my loyalty to a company is repaid by the removal of a product that I need to continue the sport I love then what left to be said
about that company. I intend on taking my business, my entire business , suits, apparel accessories on down the road to a manufacturer that values
my business enough to realize that I am the one that is there key buyer and I am encouraging my friends to follow.
If you can supply a suit that will get me back in the water I want to hear from you. You will get my business, my families business, and every person
within screaming distance of every surf break I go to around the world will know that you did not sell out their key buyer and person that helped
build there company to what it is today.
I would appreciate if you would forward this to the USA operations there is no email site available to contact them.
