Hate to say it, but scale of production isn't directly related to quality. In fact its a lot more likely that a mass produced product will be more refined because of its greater consumer exposure.

as a dad with 2 kids just taking up the sport... mass produced suits or we cant afford to surf.... they are £80, last one year and they grow out of it before its destroyed.... its gets handed down the the younger kid and then i sell them for £30 to put towards the next one..... so £25 per suit per year per kid..... sorry its a no brainer !!!! as for being green..... whatever lets you sleep at night dude !!!!!
