Pattagonia visit.
The Bonzers Blew my mind.
I never thought I would go near an epoxy board but what they've got going on down there is amazing.
Also what caught my fancy were these wool lined wetsuits with mostly Japanese smoothy on the outside. 3/3's and 2/2's coming!
Wool?
Remember 'Baley' wetsuits in the 70's.
I think those were wool or some fuzzy poly blend on the OUTSIDE of the suit.
Those were definatly the High Fashion suits of the time.

It's definatly a departure from the surf shop of old but so what.
I tell you though, if they did'nt have the Campbell and Lopez names involved it could
rapidly go the way of 'The Gap'. (w/some surfboards)
Not really!
Pattagonia still has it's mind set in the right place even if the presentation is a little 'nuevo yuppie'.
