I have an o'neill drysuit and I'm so psyched on it. I was able to really give it a go in november with 36 degree air temps and even cooler water temps...I might have said this already. Anyway, it's an o'neill boost drysuit, so it's baggy and totally gangsta, so I feel like mad tough. And it's even better when I say things like "mad (insert whatever word here)" and what not, all while I'm wearing it.

The only down fall is I have small wrists and I have to use rubber bands to tighten the seals down. But it's like totally gangsta to do that, I think.

So whatever...have fun with the new suit, Ollieshuvitz. Cool

electricsnow, you could easily go to a scuba shop and get the wrist seals exchanged! they have different sizes so you won't need to mac guiver your drysuit anymore.
i've got a jobe drysuit on my way and i'm thinking about exchanging the regular ankle seals with rubber socks so me feet won't get wet and i can wear normal socks beneath my suit Smile

unfortunately our lake is still covered with ice so it'll be a couple more weeks Sad

wakemitch, flowrider is over 120 miles away...full day trip for me Crying or Very sad

gotta keep the grades up!

electricsnow, top three reasons to wear a drysuit over a wetsuit:

1. multiple sets a day in the winter without "cold wet, wetsuit"
2. getting in the boat and being DRY!
3. lookin hella hood

ollieshuvitz, santa barbara????????

The first 2 years I used my drysuit it leaked quite a bit in the seal area around my wrist and legs since I'm only 135 pounds soaking wet. Somebody told me to pull the seal higher up my leg and arms and for the last few years I have been totally dry-try it out!

awatts, i hope all is well. as soon as you are up for it you need to try the flowrider

I have never been cold in my PsychoII ! Even when the laces of my kicks were frozen, my suit was still "oven-ly" (get it? instead of heaven-ly?! Laughing

)

You are going to enjoy it os!

awatts, I actually heard that trick when I had worn a different "communal" drysuit at a demo. The thing is, I'd have to pull the wrists up pretty high, which wouldn't be a great thing if It was a day where I needed gloves. (incidentally, the only gloves I wore were like work gloves. they did not keep water out, they only protected my gentile paws from the wind.)

ollieshuvitz, thats all I ask. Which reminds me, what's up with floaty boat?
