Surfing Waves

I havent been able to surf this winter at all yet due to the fact that my winter suit doesnt fit anymore (too tight on shoulders since return from NZ - booo) and the fact that i had no hope of affording a new one

BUTTTTTT....

Out of the blue my uncle, who usually sends us 25 quid at xmas sent me and my brother 150 quid each, he even sent my brothers girlfriend 50 quid!

So now i have a sparkly new O'Neil wetsuit and gloves, and i have some new boots winging their merry way to me (cheers for the offer KS but i think they would have been a little big). Only slight problem is that i left my board down in Norwich - doh! Still, once the boots arrive i'll venture out with the body board just to remind myself how freezing the water is at this ridiculous latitude - I miss New Zealand!

Sorry rant over, im just happy and wanted to share my hapiness

nice one libs!! and I assume the guy is now you favoritist uncle in the whole world!!

sweet! hope to see you out there soon.

Wuhey, you can get wet again.

Plans need to be drafted for another NE meet

Excellent. What a nice uncle you have. Theres nothing like the 'new' smell of a new wetsuit.

YAY libby! how great is that! hope you can get back in the water soon. x

Woo hoo!! Lucky girlie, hope you lurve it!

I've gotta get a winter wettie.

Not wanting to be cheeky Libs, but how did you get on finding a suit that fits us shortarses?? I tried on a Roxy one when I was buying my 3/2 and the arms were 6 inches over the end of my hands!

yeah i have to fold the ends ova

Hmmm well actually i dont seem to have a problem which is odd because i really should

I have short arms and legs so now im baffled, when i put it on in the next couple od days i'll have a look and see whats going on, maybe its all just bunched up around my wrists and i've just never noticed before!!

i have the opposite problem the wetsuit people seem to think people get fatter as they get taller!!

yep it does not help being 6'1 and weighing 140. no wettie fits me quite right

Trouble is, they also think people get thinner as they get shorter!! Chest measurements for the smallest size wetties are non-existent...mind you, I can't complain, I've managed to squeeze into an XL kids one! But don't think they do winter ones...will have to check...

Libs - maybe you have found the answer to the short arms problem!

Tell me about it, 6'5 with very little body fat (I need all the wetsuit I can get). I've managed to get an ace 3mm but nobody seems to make winter body-cosies for us normal sized people. It's most unfair.

Don't need to wear one

(But I don't have any surf anyways..)
