Well, i’m looking for the store with the largest selection of wetsuits in Florida. Looking to buy two new suits and want to have the largest and best choice for a Full suit and Short John. I’m tired of walking into a shop and they only have a few to choose from or the old and tired answer, that we got some coming in. Looking for the best shop, so i can drive there and try them on, buy them, and head home. Any help would be super, I like Billabong alot, but i don’t care who makes the suit, as long as it’s feels good on and does it’s job.
well where in florida are you, if you are in the central florida area. i would check out either ron jons at festival bay or ron jons in cocoa. its the walmart of surfshops but they do stuck a lot of stuff. they might be a little over priced so you could try it there and buy it on the net.

well, if you can find a wetsuit that feels good and does its job at your local surf shop, then why bother trekking all over the state trying to find another wetsuit that does the exact same thing? a Rip Curl wetsuit rep told me that all wetsuits (assuming they fit properly) will do essentially the same job as far as keeping you warm, and that the only difference between a $100 wetsuit and a $300 wetsuit (aside from $200) is COMFORT!!! most all shops carry the major brands (quiksilver, billabong, rip curl)…so even if a shop has such a “limited selection” of wetsuits, if they’ve got the one suit that feels good on you, you should be set.
Well, i’m in Daytona Beach area and checked most of the local shop and haven’t been happy what they have in stock. Been to Salty Dog “the board shop” and " Clothing Shop", Maui Nix, and i’m dropping by Aloha in Ormond Beach tomorrow, but haven’t seen much of a selection to choose from. Guess i’ll drive down south some and check out some of the other shops. Could still be to early for them to get most of their winter stuff out on the floor also.
checkout Red Dog Surf Shop in new smyrna, its on 44 and A1A. they usually have a good selection of wetsuits and are pretty helpful. its where i got mine.
Check out Sandy Point Progressive Sport in, I beleave South Daytona,( thier right on US1) they usally have a good selection. Like Zach T said Red Dog has a real good selection also.
Thanks, totally forgot about Red Dog. Glad to hear their still around. I know where sandy point is. My dad get’s parts for his harley down that way. Thanks, I’ll give them a look.
