The Old Grumpster came by this morning and brought with him his "classic" Rip Curl Insulator II, a much superior suit then the laughable Insulator 1.
Having a suit with a bit of age to it adds numerous advantages. Having been broken in properly, the suit holds it's shape with a rigidity that can best be described as cardboard. That means no pesky fold seams and unparalleled support for those older joints.
The suit also features a delightfully bright rainbow colored zipper string to accent the same colors found in the "Rip Curl" logo on the chest
I know at this point you may be wondering how you could come into possession of such an inestimable piece of merchandise. Well, I have some good news. Being the avid blogger that grumpy is, he is offering the suit at a ridiculously low blog only price of $999.95 for the next week. After that he will put it on craigslist for $1500.Act now!!!!.......before it's too late.

Uhhh...what butt munch wore that aerobic suit? Rip Curl rules, yes...uhhh.
That was a great suit in 1981. If you were not part of the scene in the late 70's and early 80's you wouldn't understand.
aaaah the 80's.
Everything was neon. Neon boards, neon super short shorts, neon zinc oxide, neon wetsuits. The thruster was taking over on the performance scene..... good times, thanks for the reminder.
It's always summer on the inside.
"It's always summer on the inside" is O'Neill's slogan, not Rip Curl's.
Hard to pass up a wetsuit with a sweet insulated crotch patch.
never said it was. just reminiscing. she had a nice rack.
Oh yeah, I have a faint memory of an O'Neill ad in Surfer Magazine back in the early or mid 70s featuring a nice looking girl with the O'Neill slogan "It's always summer on the inside". Surfer Mag also used to have that cartoon strip...but I can't remember the name of it, was it "Murf the Surf"? Anyone remember?
I think his name was Wilbur Kookmeyer.
you're thinking of "Murphy" by Rick Griffin, in the 60's. Murph the Surf was an ex-champ who murdered some people and stole a diamond. different Murph. Wilbur Kookmeyer was from the late 80's through the 90's.
now, back to that rack...
Yeah, that was it! Murf the Surf as I recall was some crazy, jet set 60s beach boy down in South Florida who murdered some people and dumped the bodies in a place called Whiskey Creek, near Ft. Lauderdale Beach. As a young grom back then I really liked those Murphy cartoons in the early 70s. I used to draw them in my school books, I never got caught though...
