    this is a question for all the guys on the forum. im sure its happened to all of us when were sitting out there in a full suit then all of a sudden it happens. it feels like your sack gets vacuum bagged. and its misery every time you lay on the board. how do you guys get rid of it? when i try pulling it off it just gets tighter! someone shine some light on this issue!

    HAHAHAHA :D

    That's pretty much normal especially in a good snug wetsuit. usually only happens when I get in the water though and is gone before I get to the lineup...

    don't tug your junk...especially in the line up:eek:

    just let some water in to break the seal if it's really bad; through the neck gasket or somewhere so it filters all the way down.

    it should just go away as water seeps into the suit though.

    I got a suit that I've owned and it's the most comfortable and flexible suit I've worn. Only problem is my left nut takes an escalator ride upstairs every time I'm paddling. I adjust in the lineup but it's difficult when you're in the middle of a session. Guess you either deal with it or buy a new suit, which I ended up doing this winter.
