So if 3 out of every 4 surfers suffers from rib pain/injuries from paddling why doesn't the wetsuit makers put extra padding in the rib region to protect the majority of surfers, or developed a surfing rib guard product of some kind? Seems like there would be a huge market for a rib protection product (I'd buy one). Quick everyone rush to the patent attornies :-)

Bub - you just KNOW there's a reason behind the market research........ 8)

Just so happens that a product meeting the exact criteria you've described is in the final stages of production!!

We've been working on it for about a year now, finalising designs and materials and enlisting the support of a few pro surfers for testing (I'd name names, but that would be showing off!!)

We're hoping to have the final prototypes tested in the coming weeks, with a product ready to market soon after that!!

Keep an eye on the website for more info........ :D
