i dont know if this would work, but get warm water an before ou go in the water put it down your westuit.

Never put the leash on to tight on your wetsuit because then water will stack over your leg (makes a big bubble).

Works lovely.

Put some water in wet gloves before you go in for the second session and they're lovely toasty warm.


But dont be an idiot and put hot water in them, because it wrecks the rubber around the seams. Not talking from personal experience there or anything... as if I'd be that stupid.... :roll: :oops:

Don`t wrap your leash around your board, take it off when your not using it and hang it up.
Helps to stop tangles. :blah:

Unless you are waxing up your friend's board. Then its a good idea!

Or when you finished and showed them your awesome wax job you did for them...put sunscreen on it. Really funny sight watching your mates look at the brand new wax job and wondereing why it doesnt work..

Dont wipe out and get hit in the head with your own board. It kinda hurts. well, actually, it hurts quite a bit :roll:
