Resistance training via an extra mm of neoprene, lol.
.
I'd be quite happy to put a 3/2 against a 4/3 in any kind of standardised race- if we wanted to measure the retarding effect of extra rubber.
But yeah, Wyre may be correct.

LOL!
This Welsh guy is not really up on his geography.
GSTK, is this you?
An extra £5.99 for postage. To Australia?
And I'm guessing "mend" should be "men's"

You aren’t the room Yuke You are just a wonky cafe table with a missing rubber pad on the end of one leg.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

The hood saved you Groots, for sure.
I get my ears cleaned out once a year and each year he notes a touch more exostosis. I definitely can notice it, especially once cleaned - my high end frequency response is better. Which is pretty important when working in sound.
I wear a cap (I'd call it a hood but now I know better) and it is great for keeping that at bay. Especially with the Illawarra winds which are pretty nuts.
I'm afraid to say it but I fear Hatchnam is correct. GSTK don't surf, man.
What do you mean by cleaned out?

As in first reduce the infection / swelling if any exists with antibiotics, then try dissolving drops to help remove wax but if too far gone already then skip that it’ll just make it worse, then revisit doctor to get the goop vacuumed out your ear, right against the ear drum, it’s fucking gnarly it sounds like someone opened the plane door mid flight.
Wear plugs. It’s worth it.
As Once you’re constantly getting water trapped in your ears, takes ages to drain out, effects your hearing and possibly your balance if middle ear is impacted, then yeah you’re fucked - time to get the drill

Hatchnam is right, although I don't need antibiotics generally. My ears tend to get this really annoying thing where they don't 'slough' dead skin effectively, and with the mild exostosis it builds up (not wax), to the point where water gets trapped and my hearing is affected.
But I go to this awesome Vietnamese doc in the Gong, one Dr. Tang no less, who uses fine tipped scrapers and suction with the most delicate, dextrous fingers. The feeling after I leave is like I have the ears of a newborn!

I remember some wheelchair xylophonist getting all macho about how he liked to smash absolutely heaps of Weetbix before a hard day's roofing

I tried my bargain Volcom steamer out for the first time this morning. Seemed a bit tight around the chest but warm and flexible. Probably no good for some fat cnut like Big Daddy Loofy

They’re great for bodyboarders because they don’t paddle with their arms, thus, have small upper bodies

Having said that, I haven’t worn mine in the surf yet.
Maybe I’ll sell it unused.

I’m sure it will stretch a bit. Or maybe I should just pull out the old booger and get deep

Yeah it did for me. It's sweet as now.
Put the booger down and get on that puddle jumper

Same. They're actually pretty good for the price.

I’d be intrigued about anyone buying a wetsuit online.

O'Neill and Xcel size charts online are accurate, no need to go into a shop to try one on.
