    Ya i got one, theres the ebomb and he f bomb.f bomb is more suited
    to irish winters
    Its a great wetsuit, better in my opinion than the oneill psycho II
    which i also got before and tends to flush (let water in, especially when duck diving under large waves. Its also the warmesst wetsuit i have had. I got mine (5:4mm steamer) from the wetsuit centre in the uk, very good price during the summer. Have found them very good as had to return a suit to them a few years ago and they did it no bother at no extra cost, also shipping is very fast.

    Know people who have the F-Bomb, the previous model and they recommended it highly. Apparently the Flash isn't as flexible but still has the warmth and of course dries in a flash...

    Had a Ripcurl wetsuit and it was a pain to get it fixed when there was a problem. I've got a C-Skin 5mm suit now, its warmer and was designed for the waters of the north Atlantic. I priced around, and got it in a shop in Sligo, at a price competitive with the cheapest of the English shops. A friend had to return a wetsuit to England once, insured post cost 28 euro just one way !
