I have a 5mm (that’s just over ¼”) plastic tube running from my nob down the inside of my right leg, up again, down my left leg, up again, running a zig-zag pattern up my back until it finally exits into the air behind my neck. It’s like a do-it-yourself heating element. I’m warm…but I have no friends.

the water gets a tad bloody cold here in South Oz in winter.

Hope for Dane's sake the outlet nozzle by his neck points down and not up otherwise he'll be giving himself a golden shower

wetsuits and winter

Hey Dane I don't know Pinebox personally but have corresponded with him in regard to joining the Southern Kneeboard Association, although being such a distance from Adelaide I would only be an honourary member. I read in some of your posts Dane that you were an old South Aussie, how long ago did you make the move?? cheers halbs

Crikey mate, your right, but peeing in a 6/4mm wetsuit with a built in hoodie even when there is snow on the beach is not worth it after you get out of the water :x
