Well, I now own two good wet suits, a 5mm and a 7mm. Last night after much comtemplation, I decided to go out on my own and repair the zipper myself.
Got the zipper aligned and soaked it with waterproof zap a gap....then I grabbed my rigged eel needles and sewed the broken section up just like the laces on a football.
Was walking around outside my house with the suit on doing yardwork in the 90 degree heat just to make sure the repair held...wife asked wtf I was doing...she wasn't shocked by the wetsuit, but rather the yardwork taking place.
Will give it a real test tomorrow night in Newport..bringing the new one along just in case I need a backup...over and out.
Pray for me.
