Hey, I've got an Orca Predator wetsuit. I suited up for the first time this season last weekend (an awesome 2 mile swim around Governor's Island in the Hudson Bay just off the tip of lower Manhattan) and noticed a small tear in the crotch area of my wetsuit. :eek:

The tear does not go all the way through the suit and is pretty small in length.

What would you use to patch it? Do they sell such stuff at performancebike.com?

Small cuts or tears can be repaired with the wetsuit glue. I've noticed that Tri-Zone carries one:

But I know there are other brands out there too (like Aqua Seal). So you might want to research it more.
