A Top TIP!

Postby Laguna » Mon May 08, 2006 12:09 am

I am currently reading 'Taj Burrows Book on Hot Surfing' and its just amazing! I thought id share one of his tips because I found this very helpful. I tend to find getting my wetsuit on (especially winter suit) very difficult sometimes.
Taj says put plastic bags over your feet and then put the suit on and it will go on with ease!

interesting... i usually just leave my socks on, wetsuit slides perfect over them, but if its the second sesh of the day then those socks get pretty nasty...

sounds like a good idea

just don't try it with a bin bag as you can't get the whole of the bag out from under your wetsuit!
