Gazuki said..Having been a pretty keen water-man for a while, diving, spearing, surfing and kiting I have never once had the urge to don a hoodie to do it. Most crew in that clip seemed pretty happy wearing full clothing. When image out-seeds practicability I guess. Give me my 3:2 any day

p.s. you will also find these aren't just a normal hoodie, they are designed for Kiteboarding by Patagonia, they have a little hole for your hook to go through. They serve to break the wind (yes a wind breaker) and wearing one is surprisingly warmer than not wearing one. Patagonia also sponsored all our events, helping make this stuff a reality, they gave us these items in the hope we would wear them. I figured since they did all that the least I could do is actually help promote them by wearing something. I also think it's a good product, it does the job.
