I just bought a new Ripcurl 3/2 full suit to do a little putting around down at the local beach.

The suit fits well, but I had to have the legs and sleeves hemmed up just a bit as they were a little long. Since i had the work done, I noticed that the suit tends to fill up a bit more then it otherwise did. In other words, in other words, i get balloon legs. I have a "feeling" that it might be a result of the stitching she put around the ankles, it has less stretch (and doesn't let the water out as easy i assume).

Im taking the suit back to her this week, but am not %100 sure what to tell her to do...

any ideas?
 
i'd rather think too much water is coming in from the neck: it's a surf suit after all, not that good for freediving
