that wetsuit discussion...

[steve shearer]

Fuk yeah.

smooth skin Yammie with backzip.

yeeeowww.

No disposable for me to buy a fifth wetty though.

[PeepeelaPew]

Couldn't pay me to wear a Haydenshapes wetsuit, let alone a Haydenshapes x Dion Lee whoever that is

[Beanpole]

There goes your sponsorship deal then, Mr Pee Pee.

Anyone using a Matuse wettie lately? I had one 5 years ago, great suit but the seams lasted barely one winter.

Have seen a good deal on one so thinking of trying again if they’ve improved.

[alakaboo]

Mate of mine in San Diego has been rocking the same Matuse steamer for 7 years.
I've got a springsuit that's 5+yo but it hasn't seen much use.

[Beanpole]

I like their Ros’e

[PeepeelaPew]

Looks like Dion needs his mate Hayden to sell a few wetsuits ASAP

Boomers are killing the Australian economy.

[Beanpole]

Fcuk yeah…what’s this revelation got to do with buying expensive wetsuits?

[buddy]

Why would anyone lend money to this gimp for a fashion company?
No wonder they’ve collapsed.

[PeepeelaPew]

steve wouldn't - old mate's wearing a front zip and steve only wears back zips

[Skipper]

Nice boots

[tootr]

Fashion is great until it out of fashion.

Bloke prolly listened to an investment banker who said gear up to the eyeballs, open a shitload of stores with really expensive advertising. Tough titties.

Funny the Harry Highpants style that is currently in vogue…..unless it isn’t anymore. Fits with the General uptight mood of the times.

Wore the Ripcurl Flashbomb for the 2nd time last night, surfed from 4.30pm til dark, pretty cold westerlies blowing pretty strong, kept me warm, not just not cold but warm. A bit corky and a little bit bulky with the lining but pretty light and flexible considering.
Prob wouldnt be stoked if I paid full price but for $350 or whatever it was pretty good.

[Meatpole]

picked this up today $199

Seems Ok. Fits well. Reckon it'll do just fine thru winter, given I've been in surfing all year round in boardshorts since I moved to Sydney.

The Reactor is engineered for performance in a value driven package. A perfect combination of stretch and durability. Fresh colors and graphics with style that's built to last.

I’m getting some serious orangutan vibes from the short legs in winter

[steve shearer]

2.5 degree apparent temp this morning for the dawny.

The new 3/2 flashbomb did not get the job done.

I got cold.
