anyone down in the deep south want an R2 wettie? (3 x 3.5 – super stretchy)

... still in plastic. Size L

it'd be too fucking warm up here. All I use is a 2mm short arm suit, and at times i sweat in that.

I like how the Brainwave states that "its still in the plastic" ... as if he hasn't rubbed his cock all over the thing.
The moving finger writes and having writ moves on ... now all thy piety nor wit shall lure it back to cancel even half a line ... nor all thy tears wash out a single word of it.

Check out Zion wetsuits from the south coast. I swear by them.

I can’t believe how dissappointed I am in my independantsurfco 3/2 steamer.
It’s like a straight-jacket, thought it might free up a bit when wet, but no.
It’s a smidge small for me, probably an inch or so short in the arm and leg but it’s the biggest size they make and I’m only 6’ 2” but I do have Orangutan arms.
The rubber seems very stiff and unforgiving, possibly made worse by the taped seems inside and out. The fleecey lined area around the torso is really thick and stiff.
It’s a chest zip, got it on by myself but no way in hell could I get it off after a surf, needed help despite struggling for 5 minutes and even then my helper had to wrench fcuk out of the arm to get it over my elbow. Even the legs were a struggle to get off over my feet.
Quite happy to put it in a cupboard in the shed and never see it again. Weighs a ton when wet too. Starting to wonder if they sent me a 3/4 but there’s nothing on it to identify it.
Teach me for buying something untried online.

You do realise MM, if you got the wettie wrong way round, you'll be expected to surf at least one wave upside down.
