I know bodyboarders who wear their wetsuit inside out after they have worn the same wetsuit whilst riding a stick, this is because the wax that has stuck to the suit prevents you from sliding enough (on the deck) on the bodyboard.

of course its stupid, they are designed to be worn the one way. Where them inside out and they won't work properly plus you'll get nailed by a dirty rash from all the stiches along the seams,

I've noticed that Joel Tudors wetsuits never have logos on em...

I stopped myself from buying a Rip-off Curl wetty top a while back coz the thing looked like a Farggiin billboard.

I have never / never will:

wear my wetsuit inside out, sounds gay, kinda like how homies used to walk around with one trouser leg half rolled up= GAY!!! almost as gay as wearin only one glove...

first of all - i fail to believe any bloke is dumb enough to actually do this

second, if i saw a bloke in the surf with his wettie on inside out i'd probably politely inform him of this. if he gave the reason above (to be hard core) i'd laugh

nothing says "corprate whore" like having RIPCURL emblazoned all over yourself.

Except instead of the corporations paying their whores, the whores pay the corporations.

I just spraypaint my wetsuit black. Sometimes I rub a burnt cork on my face to make that black too.

Be good to watch them unzip the wetty after a surf.......... :lol:

Why not just put a black cling lit over the top .............. :roll:

Really have gone full circle as a number of years back ppl wanted ppl to think they where being sponsored :lol:

come to think of it, I think i have seen a few body boarders wearing plain coloured rashies on the outside of their wetties. i never understood why - i always thought that was reserved for when surfing in a comp....

in most cases though, there wasnt much chance of these blokes being confused for someone who was sponsored... KOOKS

I havent ever worn a wetsuit backwards or even thought about it for that matter.. I personally dont see the point of caring what your wearing in the water... A guy could have the oldest shittiest wetty that doesnt keep him warm or look 'cool' but still be the best surfer out there... Your ability should be what your worried about not your image...

The only reason why i could think of wearing a rashy outside a wetty is to be able to be recognised from the crowd if someone was filming from a headland or something... Thats the only reason why i would do that, to be filmed so they know who they are filming...
