Can you tell some custom suit makers up this way in Santa Cruz for my next purchase???

Out of the Yellow Pages: Heat Wave Custom Wetsuits 2301 Mission Ave. (408) 458-2960 Hotline Wetsuits (my choice) No address listed (408) 462-5919 O’Neil’s (4) numbers/addresses listed Surfshop is 1149 41s (408) 475-4151.

I ordered a custom Rip Curl for my son a number of years ago, but that was when we were on vacation down south and were at their shop near Trestles. They just took a bunch of measurements and filled out a form. Shops that sell Rip Curl (I think Santa Cruz Surf Shop and possibly Arrow Surf and Sport) or any other brand can usually take the measurements right there for ya and order what you want.
