    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.

    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...

    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....
