Big Feet!

Hi, may sound like a crazy question but here we go : P when I go surfing after I come out the water I seem to collect shed loads of water in the bottom legs of my wetsuit. Im guessing this is weighing me down and its abit annoying as it wobbles when I walk! It seems to get in then seal itself in. Just wondering if anybody else has experienced this and does it mean my wetsuit is too big? It was a great fit when I got it but unkown to me neoprene does give quite abit during wear : /

Thanks!

Humm.. its prob that the suit is that tight on your legs and with the boots there too its not letting it drain like it should.

Either don't where boots unless you need to... and every now and then hold the bottom of your legs open to let it out while your out. Guess you got big ankles as opposed to big feet lol!

Also if the suit is quite loose around your neck it's also going to let in a lot more water than usual and added to what Papa mentioned (the tightness resulting in lack of drainage) it's going to trap even more water.

Thanks for you input, yeah I have chunky ankles lol I always assumed it was cause the suit was too big but as you say that would make sense cause it would drain. Ill try getting the neck realy tight just before I pass out should be good.

Thanks!
