I'm Reviewing: O'Neill Assault Drysuit
Reviewer: Jason Edwards
Date: June 19, 2006
O'Neill Assault Drysuit - If your looking for superior warmth and comfort in a suit, and you aren't a 150 pound teenage cotortionists, then look no further. The Assault drysuit from O'Neill blends comfort, ease of entry and quality. I am 5 '9', and weigh about 175 pounds. Based on a recommendation from the Windsurfing Hatteras shop, I ordered a large suit and hoped for the best. The suit is an absolute pleasure to use. It goes on very easily and is extra flexible. The neoprene legs and seals are thin, yet don't feel flimsy like other latex seals. And they do a good job of keeping the water on the outside. The nylon top is super roomy, and there is even extra length built into the arms that I use to cover part of my hands when the weather turns bitter. Probably the biggest benefit is I can keep cool and not overheat because the top is breathable. No layers to mess with, I just wear a polypro t-shirt, or if its really cold, I put on a polypro jacket and I feel toasty in 40 degree water / 40 degree air, and above... Here's the ratings, based on a 1-10 scale (10 = perfect, 1= extremely poor):
ease of use: 10 (best fit, easy on/off)
quality: 9
price: 7 (somewhat expensive, but worth every penny)
durability: unknown
comfort range: 9
overall: 9

I'm Reviewing: DaKine T-3 Harness
Reviewer: Mike Burns
Date: July 6, 2007
I've had many different harnesses over the past few years. This year i've found my new favorite when I picked up the new Dakine T3 waist harness. The T3 is a great improvement over the thermoform which I have also owned. The T3 just seems to form to my back. It's hard to describe the feeling. It's very supportive, yet at the same time not too stiff. The old thermoform used to dig into my sides, but the new T3 doesn't. It's a very natural feeling when I'm hooked in as if I'm not even wearing a harness. If you're looking for a new waist harness, the new Dakine T3 is the best you'll find.

I'm Reviewing: The Windsurfing Movie
2007 The Windsurfing Movie DVD
Reviewer: Stuart Proctor
Date: September 19, 2007
This movie is a Must-See! Starring five of the most progressive riders to ever hit the lip (including a seventh grader), the windsurfing movie also captures the unbelievable footage of the Cabo Verde 2007 wave event, Kauli Seadi's pushloop-into-forward (a backflip into a forward flip), and possibly the longest wave ever windsurfed.
The Windsurfing Movie is all about perfect waves, side-off winds, and crystal blue waters. For those looking for the most radical, impressive, beautiful, and inspiring wind flick, Look No Further!

I'm Reviewing: Psycho II zen zip
2008 O'Neill Psycho 2 Zen Zip FSW
Reviewer: Stuart Proctor (OA Staff)
Date: May 20, 2008
Ask any of the staff here and you'll get the same answer from all of us: "The Psycho 2." It's the best suit out there, hands down. Fully welded seams inside and out, super-stretchy rubber, extremely warm chest and back panels. It's so light you'll forget you're even wearing a wetsuit. The whole staff uses this suit, for surfing, windsurfing, kiting, and teaching. Go ahead and treat yourself. You won't be dissapointed.

I'm Reviewing: Poole UK
Reviewer: Luke Saxton
Date: June 5, 2008
I bought one of these at the end of last summer for winter wakeboarding.
What can I say except for the fact that when you get in the cold water you don't even feel the initial cold feeling pre heat up. This seems to be because the water does not actually seem to penetrate the suit and get to your skin.
Result..you stay toasty for as long as you are in the water. Wear and tear clambering on and off of the boat has been good so far too
Highly recommended.
