Haven't rode in a few weeks. Used a spring suit last time. It's about 20 degrees colder than what it was a month ago so I need to pick up a full suit.

What wet suit do you ride in?
What are the conditions you ride in(water and air temp and location)?
Do you wear the head hood attachment/gloves/feet booties?

Let me know guys so I can decide what's best for me Twisted Evil

I just bought a new Oneill Psycho 2 4/3 with the zen zip. I've been surfing/wakeskating in 55 degree ocean waters with it lately... It's so warm, sealed great, and is super flexible. Its by far the best suit ive ever owned.

t-Rex,

that is epic,

i just got out and the water here is pretty cold, i dunno exactly, the air was around 40 42 or so this evening, the water isn't that frigid yet. I'm still wearing a 3/2 ripcurl elasto, no gloves, no boots, just shoes. Ripcurl makes killer suits, I have been surfing and skating in this one for at least 6 years now. If you have any problems...........years later, they are so cool about repairing them for nothing.

Gregeo, hahaha nah, we had a theme party last summer... theme was "i'm glad i'm not"

and my best friend, tim, is RIDICULOUSLY hairy (and like 6'6")... so i dressed up as "i'm glad i'm not tim" lookin all hairy and tall.. it was a really funny costume

Laughing

then he started calling me t-rex for being short and having "short arms" Laughing

t-Rex, so that is how the nickname (T-Rex) came to be. That costume is priceless. One question though, how do you do a handle pass with such short stubby arms? Wink
