So its that time of the year again where the mornings are getting fresher and the offshores are starting to show. It looks like its been a couple of years since there was a discussion about it so I am looking for wetsuit recommendations.....

Whats everyone wearing/buying or not wearing/buying and why?

Man, that poor hypothetical kid that comes face to face with someone wanting to rightly use their warranty. I mean, there's no way the shop wouldn't have procedures in place for such a situation, and heaven forbid if they have to call their manager over if they needed assistance. Nope, not a chance. Just hung out to dry, the poor tyke.

oh burleigh. Such a contrarian. Nice of you to go into bat for planned obsolescence, though, and also caping for capitalism's wager that the average consumer won't know about or can't be bothered with their rights as a paying customer.

Lmao. Hiccup now using ChatGPT for swellnet replies is hilarious

Yeah, bud. Just cos someone used a couple of 50 cent words that you don't understand, they must've used chatgpt. If I'd done that, there probably wouldn't have been any grammatical errors.

“Please write a reply. Make me sound smart with some big words but also make a couple of grammatical errors just in case someone calls me on it”

This is straight from your playbook Hiccup. Now back to the wetsuits

Had a 7th wave suit about 20 years ago. Wasn't bad but wasn't great. I see quite a few South islanders wear them but rarely seen up north. From what I've heard their custom suits are good but a low percentage in the water even down south
