    you have to drink vodka and-or drink clear rum before labor day, after labor day you can move onto the Kraken!

    Step one:get cider, heat up in mug
    Step two: add kraken to taste
    C:???????
    the hot liquor is OUTSTANDING after a cold day

    and LTS, VERY funny story

    For 3 people got that blitzed on one bag of shrooms, that must have been the gallon size zip-lock. Where you drinking beer, too? I drank some beer after a full surf sesh and ate some shrooms, but, other than seeing everything turn different colors, I didn't trip that hard.

    At lollapalooza '94, I did some really whacked **** similar to what you did...but was kinda drunk and ate the whole bag.

    brandy helps keep the core warm.

    It was satire on the redundant wetty threads that are now tutoring the less functional brahs on how to dress themselves even out of the water. Threw in a jab at my team's beloved QB as I know how intrigued the forum is with him.

    please stop trying so hard.

    op: you might be able to get away with a 4/3 in jersey. just keep catching waves to keep the blood flowing and get a good stretch in before you paddle out. come december, go invest in a basic top and layer it for extra core insulation. when the money starts flowing go buy yourself a nice 5/4. there are always some good sales after the season too!

    don't know how i'm trolling, but if that's how you read my post then so be it. didn't know i was in the "big league" of online forums. when you go home to starla at night, do you tell her that you finally made it to the big leagues? does she hold your hand and tell you that you can be the man tonight? are you wearing your "wetty" right now?

    That's actually what I would consider the best one they ever came out with. Which is saying a lot. I feel as if the Old Spice dude commercials could rival or exceed the others if they made more of them.

    disclaimer should have been "don't do drugs while wearing a wetsuit."

    Exactly. At this point in the fall, nobody has any idea whether this will be one of those winters where the water stays in the low-mid 40s all winter and we have mostly south wind swells on warm days. A good 4/3 with the right hood/gloves/boots will get you through all winter. I remember several winters like that about 10 years ago.

    Or..we get one of those winters where the water gets down to 37-39 for two months straight and all of the swells are on those NW winds/35 degree air temps days and the 4/3 will not cut it for most of January, all of February and most of March.

    Wait and see.

    F-bomb, def.

    You sound young, youngins can handle the cold. My first and only suit was the highest end glued and taped Rip Curl 4/3. Made it through many a winter in NJ. As I got older, the suits got thicker.
