Are you in SoCal? edit: hows the new suit? There is nothing like a new suit in the water. It feels like you dont even get wet. Awesome. |
Oh i just checked the specs on my board, it's a 6'4, 2.5" thick board, which i must admit was hard to get onto at first, but paddling n catching the floaties is pretty easy...it's just the standing up im trying to master...with some results.
No, im not in SoCal, im in Perth, Australia. The new suit is great.....it's a Quiksilver suit....and feels great, the fit is just perfect , my only quibble with it is the fact that the arms n an inch shorter than my arms n legs or so...not that it matters too much, just looks a bit weird. But as far as keeping me warm, its awesome. i was mostly concerned about water jetting down my back when i duckdive, but wasnt a problem cause the suit fit so well.
On a sidenote, i got to see the Solomon Masters this year at Margaret River, which was pretty darn amazing.... got to see Taj Burrows which was really cool as well.
Cheers.
