I thought that was a mis-print!!!! Why not use a heated wetsuit? Would be so much easier surely?

I surfed in Chile down the south with water temps of 6 to 8 degrees and almost froze my nuts off. I had a 5/4/3 with a thermo vest, kidney belt, hood and big thick booties. Ice cream headaches as soon as you hit the water (actually probably before hand just thinking about it). That was the coldest water I ever surfed and the last time I ever surfed water anywhere near that cold....I am not sure I have it in me anymore.......I think a 3/2 is my idea of winter wetsuit these days

No , not a misprint Ted , nice suits but too thick for me .

Apparently these are the suits worn down at shipstern bluff according to the salesman .

Couple of blokes here wear them midwinter .

The company should put us on the payroll though we must just about own shares in them by now .

i had a 5/4/3 anchor wettie about 15years ago in tassie - lasted really well.
