Selling one of these, http://www.boardshop.co.uk/product/mb543z10-bk.asp
Its just too restrictive for me, going to go for a less warm more flexible wetty.
Worn it for about a dozen days.
Its in very good condition.
Retails for £270.

Willing to listen to offers.

[SA Chris]

Size? L or LT, I guess? haved a mate who may possibly be interested.

[Adam Lincoln]

Oops, no its a medium.

[SA Chris]

Ah, we may have a problem.....


(shortarse)

Would have never guessed you would take a medium btw, maybe that's why it's too restrictive!

Really? I am only 5ft 10. Fairly skinny too. I have never been a large in anything in my life. (Maybe underpants!) 

[granticus]

Have you pissed in it?  Be honest  this could have a huge influence on the value..

I'm 6 ft 2 and I have an XCEL LT which is an excellent fit on me - just the right length and no bagging.

Looks like you are borderline, in which case it's generally advised to go up

Medium or M Tall.

I agree with chris that if your finding it restrictive it may be too tight. I think these are the best suits for the NE in winter (with a hood) never needed to go upto the 6mm version.
Have had / got more flexible suits but not warm enough.

I have never ever pissed in a wetsuit. I just can't bring myself to do it. Everyone laughs at me for it!

There are only two types of people in this world, people who piss in their wetsuits, and liars.

I never tried anything on larger. Least i have an excuse for shit paddling power in last few trips!

[philo]

I have also never pissed in a wetsuit. 

[webbo]

[chris05]

I have also never pissed in a wetsuit.

Its all coming out now

[philo]

for proof you can smell my wetsuits if you like? or i could name my belayers or something

[SA Chris]

I piss in my wetsuit all the time and it doesn't smell.

I haven't wanked in it though, not for want of trying.

So does anyone want to buy Adam's wetsuit or not?

[Adam Lincoln]

Sold on ebay

Winner...

I am  and amazed that anyone who surfs for any concerted period of time in cold water (esp. the North East) does not have an uncontrolable urge to take piss at some point during the surf..  What do you do? Deliberately dehydrate yourself?  Just fight the urge?  Get out take off your suit, have a piss, get back in?  End your classic session coz you need a wee?

There are only two types of people in this world, people who piss in their wetsuits, and liars.

Personally speaking, I can't think of a better on board wetsuit heating system, in fact I'll deliberately drink plenty and save some up to make a winter surf that little bit warmer...  Those of you that haven't, you don't know what your missing or you are just telling porkies.  Urine is sterile (unless you've got an infection) and if you rinse your wetsuit properly smell is not an issue.  Still wouldn't buy one that someone else has pissed in ... mind

Just one of them things isn't it.  I've never done it, during the summer I have got out and took a leak somewhere quiet to the disbelief to some of the line up locals.  Lack of hydration, good skills at holding it in - It's one of those things I prob only do as a last resort, if the waves were perfect, and i was bursting 5 mins in.
P.S. the waters not that cold up here anyways

Look a low flying LOLcopter.

You only have to do it for the first time once. After that it's easy.

Impressive bladder skills    My old man bladder can't last longer than 30 mins

thats worse than a pergnant woman. id have a bag fittted if i could only last that long.

[granticus]

WTFs a pergnant women?

I  may have exagerated a little but try holding out in cold water ie. not in the North East apparently..
But why have a bag fitted when the nice warm whizz whizz is serving a purpose.  I guess you could collect it and save it for later but it wouldn't be warm by the time you got round to using it, great for the compost heap mind..

[clm]

i too am a happy wetsuit pisser but have noticed  that sometimes, when its really cold, i can get in quite needing a wee then lose the urge until after im out. Weird.
Might as well get some use out of this thread.
What do people have as winter wetties?
I wear a 5:3 e bomb (all year round tbh) with thick boots and gloves and a hood. With thermals underneath and a fleecy rashie its  feels just warm enough. Now its losing some if its elasticity it is letting more water in and im thinking about splashing out on a good winter suit. Answers on a postcard please.

[SA Chris]

For brutal cold (ie now until march)I've got a 5:3 XCEL O Zip, XCEL hooded thermal rashie, 3 finger mitts and Alder Plasma 7mm boots. A bit cumbersome, but I'm not really a high performance surfer and hate ending a session as I am too cold. Of all the above, i think the Alder boots are fantastic, and can't recommend them highly enough.

[granticus]

Have a 6/5mm Quicksaliva Ignite for particulary cold days, chest zip built in hood.. Worn with nowt underneath it is super cosey and stretchy...  + Boots + Gloves..

Otherwise it's 5/4/3mm of whatever I can get for a reasonable price.. At the moment a Billabong  Solution CT with a modula hood.  It's great with the hood but without out it flushes a lot (which helps remove the piss ).

I'm sure somewhere in the depths of the OFTS thread there is a discussion about this very subject, the Xcel jobbies such a\s AL has just sold seem to be popular/fashionable with the NE crew.  Although if you're looking for something super plush (and expensive) Patagonia or a made to measure from SNUGG would be nice.

[SA Chris]

I would love one of the pattaguccis but horiffically expensive.

[philo]

I have a Cskins 5/3 that flushes in water in the arms and neck.  I really need a new one.  I should really wear a thermal rash vest under it aswell.  I have 5mm xcel gloves that get stupidly cold? again they flush water so im guessing a "small" size would be more suitable for my skinny fingers. 
My xcel  5mm split toe bamboo boots are super tho.  never cold and never flush water. 

So basically, I need a new wetsuit - im an awkward size tho, tall skinny and broad shoulders. 
For gloves im looking at:
http://www.boardridersguide.com/wetsuits-1/accessories/gloves/o-neill-5mm-lobster-glove-17270

[gme]

5/4/3 hooded xcel all winter. 5mm gloves 5 mm boots. Nothing under it other than the suit o was born in

never get cold with that on and no flushing. I have tried most suits and have stuck with xcel for the last three years. Summer suits are rip curl or quicky as more flexy.
I always have a minimum of 2 suits in the winter so never have to put on a wet suit. Plus rarely more than ten mins from my house to get warm and dry.  We got the house from a mad keen golfer who had a drying cupboard installed it's amazing and drysout a wetsuit in about an hour.

Prep is key to staying warm up here. 

[Baron]

I'm 5'11'' and 10st 12lbs. Currently sporting a medium infiniti drylock 4:3. More watertight and warmer than my old ebomb 5:3. Teamed it with xcel hooded rashie, 7mm xcel boots and 5mm xcel 3 fingered mits. Been ok so far this winter...

I love pissing in my suit by the way.
