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?

This is what they signed off on, then what I got had red where the yellow was supposed to be, they did red ink on red neoprene. so the POP that the yellow added was lost. (I did switch to a black butt) Overall I am happy with all 3 Eagle suits I have owned, the custom one had one leg strap which has a sewn loop at the end come undone but it still works. I have an old KSO Eagle and a Blade both are still in good shape and well used.

+2 on the skills. That West Coast look is scary! Was that before the ghost rider, did you give them the idea?

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.

No they had the skulls before I just fooled with the colors and the name drop.

It's funny how a nice new barefoot suit makes you ski better

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...

I know what you are talking about, 6 months is pretty quick to deteriorate like that...at least it was just 99. I had a suit I can't remember what kind maybe waterworks/dolphin that did that...I had a suit from waterworks called a Bionic suit that was the worst suit I have ever owned it was designed for freedom of movement and so the pads moved all over and it gave no protection at all LOL. I think I paid 310 for that POS.

Here are the chicks suits I just got cheap---the vortex has embossed gray rubber that resembles the "louis vitton" purses the girls go crazy over.
