Short wetsuit over full suit?

[chaotic]

I seen a guy wearing a short wetsuit over a full 3mm wetsuit he seemed to reckon it worked ok instead of buying a winter suit as he hardly gets surfing over winter.

Has anybody else tried this i would've thought it would be more restrictive wearing 2 suits but he reckoned it wasn't too bad.He said he got the idea from diving as a lot of divers wear short suits under or over their full suits for extra heat.

I have never seen that before, i think it might be very restrictive though !

[isaluteyou]

i have a sneaky feeling that may be a tad restrictive

[chaotic]

Yep thats what i thought but the guy didn't think! Looked a bit strange though!

Just had to ask him about it as i've never seen anybody do this before!

[Sillysausage]

nah, doesn't make much difference, apart from making surfing harder than it already is, might block the wind better

when i did my diving here i wore a 7mm long with a 5mm shortie and felt fine, in and out of the water.

Was a bitch to get into though!
