Anytime, anyplace, anywhere if you want to go head to head.

You in a steamer, me in a LS spring.

Guaranteed I will have ridden the first set wave.

Glad Carroll isn't here to remind me of the time I put the steamer on back to front.

That did add some extra time in the carpark :oops:

I actually learned to love it.

But there's no way that 2/2 is as warm as a 3/2.

Conductive and convective cooling laws still apply.
Yes, but if there's less water in the insulator there's less efficient conduction.
Tell me more about the Isurus.

Very soft, buttery Yamamoto rubber than somehow seems to have really good durability.

Really nice to surf in.

Pretty easy to get into and out of.

True, but I don't believe the spiel that it holds less water.

Also convection in wind chill.

There’s a euro brand called Annox that does a 4/3 ls springsuit. It’s the sort of insanity that I could see shearer getting on board with

To tell the truth eggs are one thing I avoid buying when I’m grocery shopping. So you may say I’m an intermittent egg buyer who usually lets someone else buy them.

With the suggestive pose of the mannequins they use, shearer's gonna think they're flirting with him.

It’s a mix of Angourie and Lennox, two waves where you need a saucy little 4/3 springy the most.
