Okay, I won't sell them - I promise!
And consider donating.

I guess I should try use them either, eh!? :shock: Unless steady, light wind maybe??

So after trying on many suits and much research I think only Mystic or Promotion MT suit will fit me - being taller than most skinny guys I guess... Most MT on the island; Xcel, Rip Curl are too short for me still and O'Neill a little wide in the chest... So I narrowed it down to the Mystic Majestic...
