Hello All

My wife complains that I paddle out and she can never see me in the water. She likes to watch and take photos but she can never tell me apart from the others out there.

I was thinking of getting a coloured rash vest to wear over my wetsuit so that she can see me out there!

What do people think? What colour should I get.

And before anyone suggests it - PINK is definitely out!!

i think you should talk to roy about this one maybe you should get a nice florescent wetsuit

Are you suggesting this is a bad idea???

Normally when people suggest talking to Roy, they're taking the proverbial!!

:lol: :lol:

not at all mate i just thought he might be able to give you some sound advise on how to stand out from the crowed :D

My girlfriend ties her hair up in bright hair bands... otherwise I cant find her in the water, and I'm supposed to be the 'experienced' one keeping an eye on her

Maybe you could try that? :wink:

bleach ur hair relly bright blonde, wear a blue or red rashie over ur wetty, jst like in comps.. or, wear a T! Get an old t-shirt with rips and tears in it and wear it over ur wetsuit! Serious attitude

Just do loads of airs all the time

!
Sorry not v helpful, but I don't recommend wearing a rashie over your wetty as whenever I've had to do this for contests I hate it cos I slip around more when paddling and stuff

. I dunno you'd probs get used to it after a while I reckon but...

I wear a rashy under my wetty if its very cold!

How about if I get one of those 'Sumo' suits and wear that over the top - then I'd stand out!!

I mean one of these:

Great idea sinista, although i suggest you cover up those sumo man boobs - very distracting for the blokes in the line up.

Another benefit - when a wave holds you down and then lets you go you will *POP* straight out of the water like when you hold a football underwater and then let it go - class entertainment for everyone else and it will let your wife know exactly where you are after you wipe out :lol:

Aaaah the mental images.....

Duck-diving will be a bugger though... :wink:

better still mate why not just ditch the board and get a sumo tube

Posted: **Wed Oct 05, 2005 2:54 pm**

Yeah that would be an almost fun way to go over the falls at Chopes

. On one of the Gotcho Pro Chopes videos at the end over the credits you see a couple of guys paddling about near the take off point on a big double air bed - and they do eventually get pitched over the lip :lol:

- pure class!

THat would be fun as, and those sumo tubes.. something else.. theyre sick hah

Posted: **Sun Oct 09, 2005 5:25 pm**

Posted: **Sun Oct 09, 2005 5:55 pm**
