Dec, go to the back of the class and write out...

"I must stop pointing out I get bigger waves than those losers in the UK, even if they are windchop"

...500 times.

Yea but (sorry Mr. for answering back..), I would much rather like a bit of power in the waves and it to be 4ft...than 15ft windchop!

(PS..Rubing it in... hawaii in 3 weeks...mmmm..)

I have to have no surf whatsoever for 7 months of the year here! Isn't that bad enough?

AND..I will more than likely be over in January to see what your all complaining about! (lets hope that a 20mm wetsuit isnt too expensive :wink: )

99% of the time it is onshore here..and we probably only get 10 good, clean days a year..but it is warm and sunny!

Sal and Essex' ..Yes I am a big baby, but if you got used to water thats 30C all year around...something like 20C seems really cold to me.

And yea...I have been asking o'neill if they do super heavy duty heated wetsuits :lol: Preferably 20mm!
