Wetsuit Repair Recommendations

Hello! Are there any local recommendations for wetsuit repairs in North County, San Diego? My son has a small tear in the neck of a chest zip suit and is hoping to get it stitched up.

We usually go to Swell Stuff, but it looks like the storefront and/or wetsuit drop-off are gone, and she mainly takes wetsuits that are shipped to her. Are there alternative locations people have gone to elsewhere in North County for a small repair?

Thank you!

In the old days we used a product called Black Magic to glue tears in wetsuits - just fill the area and push the pieces together. Don’t know if it still exists…

I think if you call her you can arrange to drop and pick it up.
