    Posted: June-08-2014 at 12:00pm
Hey Guys,
Anyone have a 3xl / 4xl barefoot suit for sale for a good cause? We have a kid on the team that was using a VERY old barefoot suit pretty much just for 2 skiing. You can imagine that a 15 year old squeezing into a 3xl is taking a bunch of heat from the other kids. He defiantly has some body image issues.
The other day, he was taking a bunch of garbage from the kids for not progressing, so we got him on the boom to start the basics of barefooting (I know.........LOL--Me trying to teach anyone to foot) and his suit just disintegrated. Now, he does not want to come to practice because he only feels comfortable body wise while in a suit.
If anyone has one, I would like to buy it. Used and broke in would probably be better for this young man.
Thanks,
Tom

Hey there, we don't have one that size, but we'd like to donate towards getting him one. If you PM us your address we will get something in the mail tomorrow. Anything to help out a worthy cause. Is this kid in your ski club or is it a volunteer organization? Great job helping out!

Hey Jay and Michelle,
Thank you very much for the offer!!! I think we have the money side handled, we were thinking a used one may fit him quicker and with less questions asked about where it came from verses a new one. He is a great kid and has found an outlet in the club. He is a member of our junior team, and with all the great athletes on the team, it is hard for him to compete. He finally consented to trying something different, and his suit disintegrated.
I was kind of hoping to find one used so I could just hand it over as something laying around. Anyhow, thank you for your generosity!

Hey Jason,
Thanks for looking that up! I just edited the title of the thread to "Barefoot Wetsuit" because the culture of the ski team is that many wear barefoot suits because they float so well. We can get him a new suit, but the break in period will be long, and honestly, I think he needs a 4xl.
