...i don't think that i can take it

...but i have no choice, i can't fake it

...and i'll never have a dry wetsuit again... again!!

oh no!!

it's 12:37 AM. dawn patrol is at... um... 5:45 AM... and i just loaded up my rig once again... pulled a rain soaked wetsuit out of the backyard, where it lay "drying" on a 50 gallon drum... crap! i'm gonna have to pull on a wet wetsuit tomorrow. oh well it will only be a momentary discomfort... maybe i'll pour hot water over it from my 3 gallon hot water bottle before I "pull on"

and, as surf cat once said and probably has said many a day: "it feels great going in, but it feels even better gettin out"

brrrrr.....

yawnnn.....

why do i surf, anyway?

Koloa, Hi
CAREFULLY put it in the old dryer or get in it and take a hot shower, put on sweats and go. I had a US air farce rain poncho I'd throw over my car seat and it work great doing that.

As I sat and watch the nightmare of polihale with perfect big walls breaking out beyond yards and yards of water nightmare I went kukae , kane you did SF with good awfull cold okole condition,just do it! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />

Bedtime was about 12:45.
The dawn patrol is...right now! (5:30)

Geez I hope my suit is dry. Too bad that VW is gonna feel like an ice chest inside.

I love surfing.

here's an EASY and FAST way to get a wet wetsuit on. 1) find a plastic trash or grocery bag. 2) put your foot inside of it, so the bag is wrapped around your whole foot. 3) put your wetsuit on just like you normally would. the wetsuit leg should slide right on because of the plastic bag. 4) after you have one leg on, do the same thing for the other leg, simple as that.

SCR...stay away from the dryer, even with no heat! I got my ass kicked by Mom growing up for pulling that maneuver. All of our clothes smelled like musty wetsuit for a month!

Don't say you weren't warned! If you must...do it at a laundromat! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
