its pretty rare to see anyone paddle out to the lineup with shorts on top.
i find the best way to disguise my pathetic package is to stuff a sweet potato down the front of the wettie. or if you are paddling and vegetables hurt, try a sock full of other socks
wearing boardies over ur wettie when ur surfing just adds drag, plus ur laying down the whole time when ur surfing minus the 5% of the session when u r actually standing up surfing when kitesurfing its 100% of the time that your standing and the drag doesnt come into play, so the arguements pointless.
Put simply its just about style, and each to there own. Ironically its the people who dont wear the boardies over the wetties that are the critiques and pay out on other people. Is it because your so full of style and better then other people that you make the comments?
Its like wearing budgie smugglers at the beach, by all means you can do it, Ian Thorpe does it... but some just would like to add a bit of mystery to the package, same goes for kitesurfing, I personally feel like i am wearing bike pants with my wettie on, even after surfing i take it off asap, i got no problem with the size of my jimmy i just feel like im performing an act of indecent exposure.
Most of the older guys i know dont wear boardies over wetties and the other half do. I dont look at these guys any different and I consider them a mate either way, if they like the colour orange and I dont would I critise them for that?
Each to their own.
