I feel "bad" about being such a pussy in the sub-tropics but I hate wet wetsuits.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
The Chinese tour groups are great. They have common items of clothing so you can identify members of the group, and a couple of leaders with an identifying flag on a long stick that they wave around. Even family groups dress in the same colour and style, all obviously made by the same tailor. And o...

Re: that wetsuit discussion...
Anyone tried the Vissla winter suits? Almost top shelf price for their top of the line. Limestone neoprene https://au.vissla.com/products/mw43snor-north-seas-4-3-full-chest-zip-blk?variant=42987339350184 I’ve got the 7 seas 4/3 (it’s more upper/mid than top of the line). I know some of the fatties ...

Re: that wetsuit discussion...
Thanks leej, interesting article. I only kinda skimmed it so didn’t see if it mentioned wind chill. Pretty sure that a 2mm upper body in a biting NE on a genuinely 0 degree day would drive me out of the water pretty quickly Read the details- experiments conducted in mild conditions. Still, nice to ...

Re: that wetsuit discussion...
Is it a warm 3/2 or a cold 4/3? That surely is the key question

Re: that wetsuit discussion...
Well I guess the big jump in warmth came when they ditched overlock as the go-to for 3/2 seams, but that was 30 years ago I suppose. Everything since probably falls under the marginal gains category - different linings, fewer seams, better zips etc. I have also read speculation that some manufacture...

Re: that wetsuit discussion...
It’s an interesting question steve. I always buy from at or close to the top of the range, discounted in the ‘off’ season. At that price point, anecdotally I’d say that there’s been a steady improvement in warmth, flex and fit. I never buy the likes of the dawn patrol or omega, so can’t comment on t...

Re: that wetsuit discussion...
I have never struggled with any wetsuit except when I needed a shoulder reconstruction. I just don't understand why you have all these problems I think steve must be quite new to surfing so doesn’t appreciate how amazing modern wetsuits are. My current 5/3 is more flexible and nicer to surf in than...

Re: Ears
Shingles in older age has been linked to A/d too, and there was a study done in (cough) Wales recently which found a possible benefit of the shingles vaccine in halting the spread of amyloid plaque caused neurofibrillary tangles in the brain. The study was done in Stanford. They just used our datab...
