I had to live through that embarrassing period in the 80's, guys wearing neon wetsuites and flapping their arms wildly and doing the Huntington Hop. I think we're starting to see a cycle where colors are coming back, but I don't expect to see Danny Kwock reincarnates paddling out in polka-dot suites. I prefer black, but I don't mind a splash of color here or there. Those Hyperflex Team wetsuites are a different story. If you are paddling out in a clown suit, you better be the best surfer out there...or you will get hacked in a hurry.
Looks like someone on SI is a higher-up in corporate advertising and not telling us... https://www.godaddy.com/
I am content with plain black. However, if it could be scientifically proven that a color or pattern would repel GW's, I'd be interested. Katherine and her sisters have been lurking up hear, and recently swam right through the lineup at the local. I think there is good news / bad news. Bad news is that she's lurking, good news, however, is that she passed right by and was not interested in a human morsel.
There is a guy at the Boston Sewage Plant break that wears like a red-and-blue suit or something and he is definitely the best surfer there...
This guy wears a red and blue suit .. & does quite well on a skateboard .... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHqCJRFN-8M&feature=player_detailpage#t=24
cccdog that is awesome. On the topic of wetsuite color, all black is so conformist and we all look like a bunch of ninja foot soldiers. Soon, history will repeat itself as it does in culture every 20-30 years and the lineup will be lit up with mad colors bro.
Alright then .. I'll take either a spiderman suite, or maybe a scotch plaid to depict my ancestral roots. Then again I'm very comfortable with denim.
Haha ..has possibilities.. although I tend to break it up a bit with a nice T or flannel shirt, depending on the temp.
Yo cdog if I were up there I'd be interested in those pattern breaking suites too. Hey Fun, if it keeps you happy rock a colored suite dude.
You know when you take a dump and it's partially green...almost looks like a cammo turd... ...that's the color my suite wetsuite is....
