    23' thick wetsuit. Love it. These thread titles/posts are getting even better. Seems like another comic week coming up on SI, with lots of guys who are on their game. SB, take it over!!

    It is generally not recommended. Cold water is too uncomfortable and dangerous.

    I've been using spray-on bed liner. Just remember to close your eyes.

    So, seriously though, getting into/out of the winter wetsuit is HARD man... I thought my old 3mil fullsuit was a pain but this, wow. I like to sneak into a local lake and go night-swimming sometimes; with this winter suit, the cops will have an extra 30 minutes to catch me naked in the parking lot at 1AM peeling rubber on/off myself. The only physically possible way to take it off is left-elbow-first, and just that takes me a good 5-10 minutes for the elbow.

    I don't want to embarass myself thinking you were serious when you said this.

    yeah heavy duty winter suits are for pu$$ies! Just man up and trunks that sh!t, or you put a layer of superglue over your whole body, creates a shield that will keep the water of you so you stay warm. I've also heard that smearing mud and a little vomit in your hair will keep the heat in your head liek a hat does.

    rcarter, that helmet that your the-rapist mandated you to wear in public must maintain proper heat balance coming out of your dome. Now you just gotta get the warden to give you a straight-jacket made of neoprene :cool:

    Happy Monday rcarter! Kick some ass this week braddah down thar in Keerolienaa

    The straight jacket is excellent for warmth but a ***** to paddle in!

    The warden MUST let you use flippers then. Do you also have to head bob like RoyChuck's ripped half-mannequin on a stick?

    Only thing that sucks about the straight jacket is that it makes giving the double shaka a real PITA.

    Apparently, there's not exactly a lack of excitement these days in Oak Bluffs...
