Baller MattP Posted October 6, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2014 Fall creeped rather quickly into North Ga this year. I took my sets today in my Camaro 2mil shorty and it was just like summer with a little more color in the trees! If y'all haven't tried the Camaro products you better stock up now Fall is here! I have some more Camaro gear heading my way and I can't wait to try them out. Today's view post Camaro skiing. - Whitestone Lakes - Talking Rock, GA http://scontent-a.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xaf1/t51.2885-15/10724913_1390119977945079_1494992081_n.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ToddL Posted October 6, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2014 Wow!!!! How'd you resist taking just one more set?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller waterskigirl Posted October 6, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2014 @Matt great to hear you love your Camaro gear! Update: the 2015 has now gone out to all the retailers, with just a small amount of 2014 left to gobble up at a reduced price. There are a few subtle changes but nothing too significant same great product warm and flexible. Still no dock repair allowed while wearing any Camaro gear ever, ski in it and take it off for all other water chores!! The 2015 Impact Vest has added flotation (but NOT coast guard approved) for many of you that felt you were a little too sinky, but the vests are not scheduled to hit the US until January 2015... Enjoy a great product that is made to keep water skiers warm and extend our seasons! I am sending out a big thanks to all the Baller support and don't forget to enter the "Baller" discount code when ordering, you can get the code from clicking on my ad!

Baller ozski Posted October 6, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2014 Sensational product, I used mine a couple of times over winter and it was almost overkill here in QLD Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller davemac Posted October 6, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2014 @waterskigirl Have you considered adding a "gift certificate" purchase option on your website? I looked a couple weeks back but couldn't find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MrJones Posted October 6, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2014 Got some Camaro stuff in on Thursday. Looks great, but it has not been cold enough yet for me to try it out. I'm very ready to hang it up for the year, but looking forward to trying this out in the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller waterskigirl Posted October 6, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2014 @davemac, great idea! Let me see what I can figure out... Thx :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted October 6, 2014 Author Baller Share Posted October 6, 2014 @ToddL the short answer. My wallet said no. It was my 2nd time practicing in 6 weeks. I'm a bit out of ski shape! School, work, my wallet and college skiing really cut into my practice this fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Texas6 Posted October 6, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2014 @waterskigirl - I wore my Camaro 2mm full suit for the first time this morning (not really cold enough yet but wanted to try it pretty bad)...First, let me say the material and fit feel perfect, the suit is awesome - but upon putting it on, I noticed a small hole in the left arm, and I didn't put it there. What is the return policy for an issue like this? I posted here as infomational to the BOS crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller waterskigirl Posted October 6, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2014 @texas6 they are prone to finger marks just like the one I have attached here this does not affect the performance just looks. I have some patch kits that I can send. If there is a "hole" that is a different story...why don't you email me with a picture me and we'll discuss your specific issue.

Baller Texas6 Posted October 6, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2014 Robby, happy to e-mail you if you give me your e-mail address - otherwise, here is a picture of the hole. I tried to attach it earlier but it didn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted October 6, 2014 Baller_ Share Posted October 6, 2014 The silver tech as I have experienced does just what @waterskigirl shows. They also chafe pretty bad against vests with straps and buckles. That said, I've used Seal Cement Neoprene Repair to permanently repair the tares she pictured. Tiny little bit and hold together. Hardly can see it. My daughter had what @Texas6 pictured and I used the same thing but filled the gap in layers. Put a layer in (wax paper on the inside if hole goes through), let dry, another layer, let dry and so on until it was level with the suit. Also worked. Visible and can feel it but really not bad considering the cost of replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller lakeaustinskier Posted October 6, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2014 For what its worth I bought a Black Tech top from Robbie and I love it. Besides being lightweight and warm the key for me is the range of motion the top offers. After all why wear a heater top or suit unless you can have freedom of movement? However, these benefits also mean that you don't treat Camero stuff like a normal neoprene suit/top..........because its not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller DefectiveDave Posted October 6, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2014 I received a full blacktec 2.0 mm last week from Robby and tried it out. I haven't skied in it yet, but I floated around in 75F water for about 10 minutes between a friend's sets. It got hot as hell so I had to take it off, but I have confidence it will serve me well this fall. You do have to baby it a bit though, I've scuffed it already with a coat hangar on the neck liner. I sealed it with some urethane glue, but it made me realize I need to be more careful. I just ordered a wetsuit hangar to protect the investment.

Baller ral Posted October 6, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2014 Camaro suits are the best of the best performance-wise, but really high maintenance. I always use a boardshort on top of full suits or shorties, and I am extra careful when putting them/taking them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Texas6 Posted October 6, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2014 I'd like to mention that Robbie and Camaro did the right thing and stood behind their product, understanding that I didn't put the hole in it of course. Kudos to them for that kind of customer service. Color me impressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klled218 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 @waterskigirl, I have entered the Baller discount code in my cart, but it is not showing a discount. I would think it should apply before I choose my payment method? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Steven_Haines Posted October 7, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 7, 2014 @waterskigirl , I've been seriously considering one of the Camaro suits but after reading some of the post's that mention abrasion issues I'm a little hesitant. I use a Powervest, is this maybe not the best combination? I guess I could wear a rash guard over the suit, but do I run the risk of ruining the suit where the straps from the vest would contact the suit?

Baller Texas6 Posted October 7, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 7, 2014 @"Steven Haines" The beauty of the Camaro suit is the fact that it's made from soft stretchy rubber that insulates well and allows for excellent freedom of movement. For what it's worth, I'm pretty confident mine was damaged in transit. But if anything is going to rub on the outside excessively like a strap, probably a good idea to protect your suit as best you can - my .02 but I'm sure Robbie or the manufacturer could speak to it better than me as I am purely speculating based on little use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Steven_Haines Posted October 7, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 7, 2014 @Texas6, from the comments above and your first hand experience, I'd have to agree! Pretty sure I'd wear two holes in it in no time under my arms along my rib cage. I don't dare ski in that vest with out protection for my skin! I'm wondering if a rash guard over it would be enough protection to keep from ruining it? Maybe not a good fit for my application. It sounds like an awesome product though!

Baller cragginshred Posted October 7, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 7, 2014 My modetec .5 top is working great! The silver coating looks like scales in places, but no tears. It looks like they painted it and the outer color part only splits a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller tjm Posted October 8, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 8, 2014 @"Steven Haines" a Camaro vest will not wear or stress a Camaro suit. I have both for just that reason and it is a great choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck_Dickey Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Wear a long sleeve rash guard to protect it from the vest straps and buckles. If your arms are pinned to your vest, the sleeves will wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Steven_Haines Posted October 8, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 8, 2014 @tjm, I'm using a Powervest. Wish I could use a Camaro vest, but prior injuries keep me in the Powervest. Maybe I could ski without it, but to be honest, I'm afraid of hurting my back again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller waterskigirl Posted October 8, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 8, 2014 @steven haines just like Chuck everyone I know that uses a power vest wears a long sleeve rash guard and works just fine with Camaro suits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashman Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 FYI the camaros don't exchange much water- so best to empty the plumbing on shore. Water in the mid 50s today and still toasty in the 2 mil blacktec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller matthew Posted October 10, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 10, 2014 I had a problem with my blacktec 1mm Long sleeve shorty, during a deep start it developed a small tear on the inseam. I sent it back to Austria and It was repaired and Fedex'ed back to me in Australia. Very impressed with that level of support from Camaro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
