One of my Aussie mates just rocked up from Sydney today and assumed that a 1-mil long sleeved rashee is all he needs, since it's "summah ova hea".
What he doesn't realize is that the SF water temp is a 'nad-chilling 50 degrees year-round, and he didn't want shrinkage to be a factor for when we cruise the Castro after our OB surf sessions.
So if anyone in the Gay Area (SF/Peninsula) has a spare wettie I can borrow for him please let me know.
There's about 8-million surf shops that rent wetties.
I have a LT but he can't borrow it because I'm using it.
I probably do. Might be a tad small since I'm 5'-11", and I don't know how good it is for swimming in since I just used it for windsurfing, but it's probably ok.
Edit: WTF is MT/L anyway?
Thanks for the heads up on rentals Slim. I didn't know of the shops that rented wetties. I tried Wise and Aqua and no dice
Rune: It's the combo sizing.
MT = Medium Tall
L = Large

Oh, mine's probably a regular medium I think.Quote:

Son Light and NorCal down in Pacifica rent them.
I'm suprised Aqua doesn't rent wet-suits given that they rent boards.
sorry i never got back to you guy. i'm back in the flat paved hell of chicago. yay!
