My New Custom Wetsuit Project

[surf patrol]

Hi guys,

I'm working on a project with a buddy of mine. Totally not trying to troll / sell anything but wanted input on our product. We've been getting requests backzip, 5/4's, options for different colors, etc etc and want to expand our product offerings. Anything we can improve on our page? Input? Suggestions?

Below is a link to our Kickstarter:

torrancesurfer,
are you hoping to emulate the Hurley's entrepreneur based not so far away in Costa Mesa, CA?

by the way #1, when I clicked your link I got webpage that said "something is wrong."

by the way #2, the proprietor of this forum sells wetsuits. As a courtesy, you may consider requesting his approval to have such a thread on his forum. If you say, "please," he might.

Hmm ok, that didn't work out too well lol.

Just out of curiosity, Hurley's entrepreneur, what / who is that? Do you mean Bob Hurley?

Thanks Billie

[billie_morini]

Yes. The proprietor of Hurley is Bob Hurley.

torrancesurfer,
The link works. So, I reviewed the content. The product descriptions and design summaries are tasteful.
Good luck.

Why is early delivery cheaper than normal? Just curious.

I just bought a suit so won't pledge, but would be v interested when I need my next one- are you thinking that the price will ba around the pledge price ( eg $380 or so?) Guess I will look at the time, but $380 for a top end custom suit is cheaper than we pay in Australia for an off the rack,if you go for top end ( or even 2nd level) big brand suits. Plus I'm tall and thinnesh and it appears that suit manufacturers think tall people are all fat...

Anyway, good luck. If you can keep the price below off the rack, I reckon you will have a good business, esp if you sell worldwide.

They look smart. Would be interested in some thing like that next time around. Good luck.

Billie - Thanks for the input! Good to have a 3rd party validate our writing

DTC - We wanted to reward early supporters with their support by giving them a discount as well as early delivery. Our final retail pricing shouldn't be too far off from the $380. And yes, our strategy is to go international as soon as possible. I think the Australian, Japanese and European markets are all interesting to look at.

Dantastic - Thanks. Well definitely need some to go against the big guys (:

Cheers,

Alex

Hey Torrance I'm a city of angels transplant out here in Hawaii, super stoked that you are starting up a wet suit company. I would pledge for a wetsuit but I got bills to pay but when I get out there I'm definitely gong to stop by there!

Pandarturo,

No worries, let me know when you get here. More than happy to show you around our shop.

Cheers,

Alex
