Thats the kinda barefoot suit I'm talkin' about!

intensity looks nice, I got one a couple of years ago, say 2010, the barbed wire, for $99, after 6 month of use the inner padding started to fall appart, now its all loose inside the neoprene, and it catches lot of water, it doesn´t glide anymore, it just drags. I can´t even borrow it to my friends to learn, they have to fight against the drag...

If you guys have any girls or guys that need suits there are some great deals on Vortex at "the wake house" $79 to $129 and also Intensity for girls only at Masterlineusa, intensity...$75, I bought two of the intensity's they seem very well made really, and I got 1 of the vortex Envy's in black the girls love it. sizes run small on vortex and big on intensity. in other words a 6 in vortex is smaller than a 6 in intensity.

that sucks!!!

I would be happy to ride a mccarville custom suit!!!
if only the suit could transmit some of the riding skills...

I ordered a custom Eagle from Chuck and Michelle and after Chuck signed off on my design and the suit was made and shipped to me I was hugely disappointed that they had made a mistake and swapped an ink color. When I brought it to Chucks attention he said I was wrong, then he said somebody would lose their job and then told me how expensive it was to change inks on the dies blah blah blah...I told him I wanted the suit I had ordered and that he had signed off on. He was so PO'd because I had my name on the back and so he would not be able to sell it off he could only donate it to the YMCA and he was not going to make me the suit he had signed off on. I then talked to Michelle and offered to pay standard price and take the suit as is which she did. I was not too happy with the transaction to say the least. I have BI, Intensity from both China and Australia, Vortex from China, a bunch of Eagles- only the custom says Made in USA. I do not think quality is better or worse on any of these suits ---all seem pretty equal in quality.

THAT SUCKS!!! I hope mine turns out all right. Sorry to hear about your luck. Besides the color change and the runaround are you happy with the suit?

And where do you think the neoprene comes from for the suits that are stitched here?

All 3 of my BI suits say Made in USA on the labels, I just wonder why that is not prominently stated on the Oceantec website???

where on that website does it say :Made in USA?

I have the Bird of Prey myself and have been very happy with it. Did you see this one?

Both similar in construction. RS went out of business and Eagle is selling the remaining inventory for him.


Chuck(@ Eagle), recently designed this suit for me.
