water-related question

[guest7]

Anyone have a wetsuit they want to sell? I'm 6' tall and have a 36" waist.

My 12 yr old daughter wants to do more bodyboarding and surfing and if I've got to accompany her I'd rather have a suit.

Cheers

36 inch waist??!!!

Hahaha!!  I doubt it!  You need to take a leaf out of my book matey- I'm not down to 2 lettuce leaves and a pine kernal a day. On saturdays I have some sunflower seeds

Hi - I do have one that is too small for me, may consider selling it - will have to ask the boss amongst other things. It is a one piece - probably built for surfing but I had bought it for triathlons - but it squeezes me too tight. - Will have to try it on again and think it through.  However if you want to borrow it for a bit that will be fine.

Watch it you stripling. I was aware that I was opening myself up to gleeful accusations of porkiness, but 36" it is and 36" it has stayed for some years now so I guess there's not much chance of things improving. It has to be said that in the days when I cycled 40 miles a day, my waist was 34" so I guess it's partly down to how you're built.

Aldi were selling cheap and cheerful wetsuits a month or so ago, might be worth checking to see if they have any stock left

also try decathelon they are usually very cheap

Oh forgot say. I'm 6'3" and 34/36 bwaist - the problem is that the suit was bought from a shorter person and i kinda streach it long and thin - so a loan whilst I sort out whether it is needed or not is there if wanted.

I've forwarded a "sale" advert to your virgin.net email address, you could also have a trawl throught the BSAC (British Sub Aqua Club) forums as people often sell wetsuits and semi-dry suits after completing training/failing to diet ;-)
Google BSAC and you should find it ok.
I use a scubapro 7mm semi-dry suit with a 5mm shorty (with hood) on top for diving because I'm too lazy to use a drysuit, amongst other reasons, and I'm generally as warm with that as the drysuit crowd. It's probably too much for something as energetic as your bodyboarding(!) but imho a 7mm would probably be fine.
