Does anyone else have this problem?After about an hour in the water i get chaffed from my genuine Ripcurl Made In China 100% Polyester boardies. (about 2 years old and i rarely wear them)
As i normally surf for 4 hours plus this is a big problem.
Have some cotton Toes on the Nose which i wear 99% of the time. No problem with them but after several years use they need replacement.
Checked out a few shops lately and almost everything is polyester and not cheap.
Any (serious) suggestions please????
A lighthearted and also serious story.
Several weeks back i surfed a place called A Bay, which is about 3klm walk from the Noosa carpark. Surf was reasonable and i was in the water for 2 hours in my Polyester boardies. Felt a little chaffing when i got out but didn`t worry too much. After a few hundred yards the chaffing was quite painful but i kept going. 1 klm later the pain was too much so i took the boardies off and walked the rest of the trip in my jocks and rashy top. Fortunately it was an overcast day with not many people around. Made it back to the car with strange looks from only 50 or so people.
The reason i waited so long before stripping to my jocks, A Bay is an unnoficial nudist beach, been there 3 times and always a few strange looking blokes strutting their stuff. The first half klm on the track back goes through deserted bush before it gets onto another track frequented by regular tourists and surfers.
Not keen on a repeat performance so looking for boardies that don`t chaff.
sitting astride a 24" board so i bought a pair of water ski shorts about 2mm thick they don't ride up 
are comfy
