My wife still snow skis in her wetsuit. I snow skied in an O'Neill farmer john for years (decades?) and loved it. I can't imagine waterskiing without a wetsuit.

A far reaching creative soul is gone but we are left with better lives (at least warmer and more comfortable).

Even though I moved away from the East Coast shoreline a few years ago to landlocked KY, there are still 2 O'Neill wet suits upstairs in the closet. He's a loss for sure. Thanks for keeping us warm in the surf Jack.
