Changing Tubs

Postby surf-n-turf » Wed Oct 17, 2007 4:01 pm

Hi,
Does anyone know where I can get a rubber changing tub for putting my wetsuit and stuff into after I get out of the water? I've seen a few people in Ireland with them but I can't find a shop or website that delivers to Ireland. You can see the product I'm talking about on this link , but unfortunately they don't deliver to Ireland.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Hannah

I didn't bother because I figured they'd be easy enough to find on the internet....and of course since I've been looking for one I haven't seen anyone with one of the tubs!
Thanks for the other suggestions though - I'll look them up!
Cheers

I got one of them in a cheap Euro shop...it cost 10 euros. Brilliant, take off the wettie and stuff and chuck it in there and off i go! The moonbags look good for standing on though (if ur on a sandy area).

Found exactly what I'm looking for from the above link. When you go on to that website they're a subsidiary of www.faulks.co.uk/store and I found a lovely bright pink! tub and you can get a material lid for them which you can use for standing on when changing out of your wetsuit.
Thanks a million for passing on the link to this website![/img]

The original brand of that type of tub is Gorilla tub.

I got mine in the local B&Q for £5 so don't get ripped off.

Local garden centre also had them, both in loads of sizes and colors.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the heads up James - will check B&Q before I order online....although the B&Q stores in Ireland don't seem to have the same variety of stuff as the ones in England.
