depends how big....or not....aquaseal at mec or ocean river sports support with stitches if needed (strong yarn or dental floss? If you have a seam or add a sandwich layer)
Wish less, sail more!!

Just throwing this out there. If you have one of those 10+ year old wetsuits, you should consider getting a new one. It will be warmer, easier to move in, and all that.

Repair the old one for a backup.
