Where can I order 7mm Neoprene in "sheets?"

[AtlantisDreamer]

Where does everyone who makes their tails order Neoprene from? Does anyone know if you can order it in "sheets" of the 7mm thickness? I want to make a very, very warm tail... I'm sort of thinking about maybe putting the 7mm Neoprene inside Silicone - to make a tail that could be used in freezing waters...

I don't know where you can get it in sheets, but I do have a question... What will you wear on top? Just out of curiosity? A SCUBA top and hood?

I was gonna wear just a bikini on top. I know that my internal organs won't be insulated, but I think I can hack it. When surfing, even in the coldest waters, I never used hoods, booties or gloves because I find them uncomfortable. If it's really miserable though, I will just wear a 4/3mm full wetsuit underneath. The reason I would do a halfie at 7mm is because of it only concealing heat in the bottom half of me.

As for Lake Tahoe though, that would require a full 7mm in the summer and maybe a dry suit in winter. So far I don't have any plans for that lake yet though...

foamorder.com has lots of neoprene... but they only go up to 6mm

Or, here is a link to another place, and it seems they have 6.5 and 10mm
