lol, the northern accent, you need to go and surf staithes some epic waves there, the cove is like pipeline!



yes the back zip isnt popular anymore as it far inferior for neck comfort and seal. I think O neill are one of the few companies that stil do a high end back zip due to demand in the california area.

Chrispi,

Any thoughts on a GoPro mount set-up that would work on a BB - shooting forward?

Helmet mounts seem most successful. The standard deckmount seems to low and you get water coming off the rails. A wrist fitting has similar problems.
