Surfing Waves

Something that would improve my surfing experience would be a wetsuit that I could put on and take off as quickly and easily as a set of clothing.

I have a zipperless Hurley 5/4 and it's a real workout when putting on or off. I recently tried O'Neill's psycho and mutants, and they were no better.

Any recommendation for a suit that is especially easy to take off?

surf somewhere cold and rainy.... that usually speeds up the process

don't know of any that are fast to put on and off...my xcel is a nightmare to get off but putting on isn't too bad, atleast its toasty warm.

damn right

plastic bags on the feet, slide through the suit wet or dry in no time!
looks odd, but if your desperate.....

I'm fat, so I had to get a custom. I got one from www.liquidfit.com With the $60 wrist/ankle zipper option (I think total cost was like $400, but would be $30 less for you probably), it is very easy to take off. Just unzip the arms/legs/back and I'm right out of it.

They fit really well, and you submit measurements. They even resize em free if you grow/shrink, or get the measurements wrong. Definitely a bit pricey, though.

But... their website seems to be down?

I don't have much of a fight. Regular back zip o neill heat.
Shoulder zip and other such overlap designs feel like a straight jacket when trying to get them off.

Do you need a bigger suit? or are you whining?

Mostly just whining. But good point about the suit size -- I'll look at something bigger.
