Rip Curl wetsuit repairs

    Has anyone ever sent their RIP CURL wetsuit to the wetsuit repair centre in France? I was wondering what the turnaround time is on the repairs. Are we talking days or weeks here? I have 4 different smallish areas i need repairing and it's free so i might as well send it over. I can make do with an old winter wetty i have, but if it takes weeks to come back i might get a cheapish 5/3 to keep it toasty till mid november.

    cheers

    You still have to pay postage to France and the hassle of packaging etc, right?

    You'd be quicker doing your own repairs, stitching with a needle, strong thread and sealing from the outside with Aquasure (or similar). It only takes a few minutes and then leave overnight.

    Come morning, job done!

    Get yourself some black witch. Unless it's a really bad tea you should be able to fix yourself.
