Semi-Dry Repair and Pre-Winter Inspection
The biggest problem with winter surfing is water seeping in after you’ve already entered the water. Since insulation is crucial for a semi-dry wetsuit, it’s important to check for wear and tear around the neck, wrists, ankles, zippers, and crotch area before winter begins.
Prices are subject to change depending on the nature of the repair. We will provide you with the official price and estimated completion date after assessing the condition of the item.
Pre-Winter Condition Check
Check areas that are prone to water seepage in winter, such as the neck, wrists, ankles, zippers, and crotch.
Deciding Between Repair and Replacement
We’ll assess whether replacing worn-out parts will suffice or if repair costs will be higher, based on our professional expertise.
