Thats a throaty one, nice one Steve. Can't put shit on a brine brother doing that.

Now, re the yammie - is it really a load of bollocks?

Cheers loof.

Godsave is just being a little bitch- understandable: anyone would in his position.

Yammie is for real mate.

Just secured a second hand Axxe (custom Japanese, pure Yamamoto) off the guy I bought the Isurus off.

In terms of warmth, if I am wearing a 3/2 in mid winter and not overly warm, get a 3mm Yammie or go 2mm, is it much warmer?

Prob go Isarus....

Go 3mm, you get extra flexibility.

So warmer and easier to paddle.

Yep, as getting older, warmth = surfing better for longer.

My ONeill steamer is heavy but ridiculously well designed for freedom of movement.

It's my feet. I can't go longer than about an hour in the depths of a Sydney winter. Maybe an hour and a half. Circulation is rubbish and they turn into numb hunks of meat. I've tried a couple of brands of booties but they sh1t me after a couple of waves. I hate how they grip! Can't shoogle your feet around as needed.

Don't go down the bootie's pathway AJ.

Spend some time barefoot on Mother Earth and your feet will respond with magnificent circulation.

AJ why would you want to surf for more than an hour?
Get out and go back later if it’s that good.

Yeah nah, I’m in thongs most of the year. I just have to put up with it. Can’t do booties.
