FRAUD!!! - Nanjing Lixin Neoprene Sport Co., LTD

Beware of this company!!! They are a complete fraud. They took $15,000 of my money and never delivered my product. I ordered wetsuits from them and they delayed shipment multiple times and they force you to pay an extra $3,000 in air freight because you have to. This is their last scamming effort to get every last dollar from you and it worked on me.

Don't be fooled either! They will even send you a sample with your logo on it. If you go to their website wwww.neoprenesport.com you will notice they have an address and a phone number. This is all fake. Try calling it, it will not work! If you talk to a guy named David he is very violent and aggressive. Be careful! We have sued them in the States and are now close to finishing suing them in China. See below for their contact information so you can verify who you might be talking to:

DAVID: david@neoprenesport.com - This guy is violent and will scam you for every last dollar you have. He is supposedly the manager "owner"
ALICE: lexnsale@vip.163.com - She is the lure. She will act at the sales women. Her skype name is aliceneoprene.
TONY: tony@neoprenesport.com - This is supposedly their American sales rep. He is an absolute fake and a liar. Be careful.

If you have more questions please contact me and I can answer all your questions.

Quiksilver Cypher 4/3


Our wetsuit of choice is the Quiksilver Cypher. Say what you want about O'Neill being the leader and Rip Curl not being far behind, but our instructors love using the Cypher year around.

The chest zip pictured here is comfortable and the zipper actually zips comfortably unlike a lot of the other chest zips out there.

It has taped seems and a super comfortable neck that doesn't give you one of those nasty, irritating rashes.

We really like its stretchyness, if that's even a word. Its flexible and snug when putting on and that is most important with an effective wetsuit.

We highly highly recommend this wetsuit. Find one at your local surf shop or by going to www.quiksilver.com

The First Surfboard Review - Greco Surfboards 2.0


The foamboard of our choice is the mega foamboard innovator in the Southern California area called "Greco Surfboards". We use the Greco Surfboards 2.0 model.

We use their 8' funboard foamboard because we feel that this soft top provides an ample amount of buoyancy and is by far the best floating, most well rounded dimensional board conducive to learning out there.

Starting with the nose, it is a full of foam nose. It is perfectly rounded which is the reason why it floats well. This is where a lot of manufacturers try to skim down on having to use more materials but this is a thick fat nose which we really like.

The body is thick. It is 3.25" which is one of the thickest boards out there. This type of body hold the dimensions in place.

Inside the body is 3 solid stringers, constructed to make the board absolutely stable. For example, we used to use BZ foamboards, however they only had 2 wooden stringers not 3, so as you could imagine we broke a few of them.

The tail is interesting. It's not as pinched in as a lot of other foamboards. This gives room for the fin system to work. It has a tri fin system and they even come with an upgraded leash as part of the package (not sure if we get them as a package because we order in bulk but I'm pretty sure they sell the package on single orders). This leash is way more expensive in stores and they throw it in for free. Also we love that they have these boards in colors that no other foamboard has. White and black are really intriguing choices.

Lastly, even if you aren't a beginner and like to use a longer board, all our instructors love this board because of its smooth consistent maneuverability. We definitely recommend it to all levels, especially beginners.

You can buy them from their website at www.grecosurfboards.com/boards
