Hi Guys,

we still have a very strong winter in north of Germany. Waiting since weeks, that spring comes, but the coldness is endless... So we go out with 2 degrees water and 3 degrees air and made this video in December. Would like to bee in Australia now... Cheers you lucky guys, Tom..

Well that just about does it - brass monkey weather and they are still bent on wearing board shorts over a wetsuit?? WTF ?

Board shorts belong when the water temp is 25 + ?????

Crazy euros!!

Hey :-) thats fashion because the wetsuit is a bit boring (black only). So we need some fanzy coloured shorts on the water

That's fashion


You lost me there, if you are fashion conscious, I wish you could spend more time with friendly new age guys and less time on the water.

Not your fault, I know I shouldn't feel that way but I like to fool myself into believing that I enjoy a sport where it is me ,the ocean and my willingness to push as hard as possible.

Your fashion conscious crew makes me however feel that I practice a lovely activity and I should look forward to a great man bounding fest after the session

Somehow, I don't want to go that way.

... 35 degree days,,,, check
... temp doesn't go below 30 degrees all year round,,,, check
... water hotter than outside temp,,,, check
... sharks are numerous,,,, check
... box jellies,,,, check
... no wind,,,, check

... with all this going for us, 2 degree water still sounds worse to me, you gotta love the tropics!
