Help! What do I do?

I bet it does. I tried to do a double session and kept my wetsuit one for about 30 minutes before hopping into the truck and driving to a spot a few minutes away and my seat was all wet. Its leather so not too big a deal, but i've never done it since.
Damnit. Now everyone knows!
(the barbed wire tats are combined with a pair of sawhorses)
nice flex with the leather broham
Extra fun when you introduce an organism that sets up shop and you grow a funk colony over the next week(s).
I don’t care how cold it is or how close you live nearby. Driving home in a wetsuit is a rookie move.
Pffft. If your rig doesnt have sand in every crack and smell like decaying neoprene and urine youre not even a real surfer.
But for real, a beach towel or poncho over the seat and some rubber floor mats prevent any funk in my experience. Nothing beats driving the 3 min home to unsuit in a piping hot shower instead of changing alongside a dark highway in pouring rain.
Try not to do it but sometimes you get out and your hands straight up do not work. Water in 30s, air below that and 25+ wind - you can be the guy in the lot calling me a kook. It’s just faster/easier and probably safer.
If you have to do it, use a boardbag on the seat. Fat end on the floor. Water will pool up. Be careful when you’re getting out and removing the “water”. Put a towel over center console. Seat stays completely dry and no long term funk.

Bros, so what we can conclude is that this

I think we've done good work here.
But I've never felt so dirty.
Perhaps I need to go rinse(kit) myself off.
Edit: The filth is not coming off

put a towel or two down first you silly fools, maybe a wool blankie like mommy used to tuck you into bed wit as a wee wittle boy?
I took 3 weeks off over Christmas, and so therefore didn't need to burn time at work / pretend to work and post sh!t on the ERBB.
it means I nearly missed the best thread of 2020!

heavy if true dude.
so, back to original topic. @jkb i read the old rinsekit thread and their were some pretty good suggestions for alternate uses.
@Autoprax suggested the rinsekit as mobile bukakke dispenser which I thought was pretty neat and creative.
just trying to be helpful since you're too embarrassed to be caught rinse kitting in public.

I did?
Sure, I'll take credit for that.
That sounds like something I might say just to be funny/gross.

@jkb you finally put yours up for sale? This you? https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/for/d/granada-hills-brand-new-in-box-rinsekit/7278999500.html
I've considered a changing poncho/robe in my recent years. I don't thin I'd be hanging out in it or anything, but it's not the worst development to consider. I think they look kooky, but it's literally two towels stitched together...
I can se driving home in a wetsuit if you live nearby and it's honest to god freezing (I'm picturing Jersey, NY, Maryland, etc.). No shame. But driving home in your wetsuit in California is pretty silly. I fill a 40oz hydro flask and change in a bucket. If I'm really on top of it, I bring a neoprene mat that I was given so my footsies don't have to touch the pavement. It seems one level less lame than those fake grassmats.
