&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;Yea, I preferred the Exo lite but both were great for blocking the wind once you were back up on the board out of the water.  Although the brick/mortar store is gone you can still get some of the Exo tops on-line in limited sizes.

&lt;br /&gt;
Absolutely. That said, I really like the Exo-skin jackets from Pro-Motion. They have a lot of flex so you don't have to size up. Like you said, they don't help in the water, but above the water it's like stepping up 2mil in neoprene. Toasty!
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;Better to live as a lion and die but once, than to live as a jackal and die a thousand deaths. Bam Bam was truly a lion.

&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;I should give credit where due: I believe this shot was taken by Adam Lapierre. Adam, if you're out there, nice to see you at the Gorge Gravel Grinder recently.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Bams used to hit on my girlfriend all the time, back in the day. It was an honor. His step-dad Gary was a good friend and loved Jon dearly, but sadly knew he'd outlive him.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
RIP Bam-Bam, we'll always remember you!
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I've been rocking the various ripcurl 5/4/3s for the past 30+ years.  They fit my frame well.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Coming at it from a surf background, and kiting at a surf break, all my homies have surf-branded 5/4/3s.  Most of us have ascertained at some point in our surfing career what line of suit fits our particular bodily dimensions and have happily fallen into that rut.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Ripcurl has been my rut.  YMMV.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I usually keep my nicer one for surfing, and use the more worn ones for kiting.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
$300-sumpin is a good price for a new 5/4/3!
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
