The perfect suit for the tropics
After seeing this suit worn by Kelly in Tahiti, I was happy to find your website.
The Short John has been my “go to” warm suit since the early 80's (SEE PHOTO). I have always worn a SJ for 2 reasons: less drag (than trunks), and protection from board & reef. This suit does that & more. Padding is placed in essential areas as to not hamper paddling or movement efficiency. The neck piece & tighter shoulder outlets allow for minimal water intake during duck dives or wipeouts. When combined with the soft & light Japanese rubber for comfort, IT MAKES THIS THE PERFECT SUIT FOR THE TROPICS.
I saw Kelly on the beach in SC last week, and thanked him for wearing it — he said it was a great design (quite an accomplishment). Thank You for creating a unique product.
