Second hand Wetsuit

carmex21 · 2010-07-20 09:44:17

Hi, Does anyone know if the surf schools sell second-hand wetsuits? I am looking for a decent suit for swimming and surfing but don’t really have the budget at the moment. Rather than buy a cheap but thin one which I will freeze in and then not use I was hoping to get a better one that someone may be upgrading from! I have…

I have googled a bit but no luck and was just checking before I hit the phones and call the guys in Lahinch!
Thanks

You should probably look under Sports/Scuba diving etc.

Hi, yep, checked those already..thanks though....I didn't see anything but I will double check if you think you did...

It is more the surfing area really as the scuba suits are kinda different and more expensive - wouldn't say no mind you!

aha, I see the links you mean Biko, thanks.

Yeah, I got my last one from a uk site and it was great but I gave it to my sis when she went abroad. I guess I was just kinda thinking someone local may have one or know of a local group that sell them on.
It is really me being lazy and a skint flint!

I will check out all the links for the surf clubs though, thanks for those - may get one from the rental guys at the beach. I guess I should just post there too:)

Seensensee, I would be looking for a ladies medium (possibly small). It is usually a case of a large small or a small medium if that makes sense! Oh also, probably an autumn/winter suit- so a 4 or 5 or 4/3 5/3 something like that.....
