custom wetsuits

Look Ma, I designed a wetsuit! With the help of some friends in Japan and the hard work of a nice wetsuit Jedi lady, here's the Mandala 3/2 Smoothie:




Like most wetsuits made outside of CHINA, they're going to be pretty expensive for most folks in the U.S., but if anyone is interested in going through the crazy process of getting measured and waiting for a custom suit, drop me a line at mandalacustomshapes@gmail.com.

Thanks,
