Yeah a waist harness, you don't look like a fag and it doesn't give ya wedgies. (sorry for being so negative and blunt)

I'm with you Mr Plow. I've been on the lookout for wetsuit shorts for a while, and not had any joy.

Anyone in Perth have any idea where to get some from?

Goodtime in Brisbane or Surf fx down the gold coast - specials on now as well!

you will find them in kitepower sydney and full tilt in wa check out there websites

'Rubber Jungle' on the Gold Coast, Qld, specialise in exactly what your after. They make custom wetsuits and anything else you want custom made, shorts, wetty tops, impact vests, stubby holders etc. Got a full length custom made & fit wettie for winter for $250. So they can be just as expensive as a brand name but if your like me you can never find a brand name wettie that properly fits your body shape, these guys will make it right and you also get to choose colours, logo's etc. So for any custom made thing in wettie material these are the guys to go see.

In Perth, Vidlers in Cottesloe and that big surf shop on Scrab Beach Rd, opp the BP in Scarbs has them. Most larger surf shops seem to carry them.

Sorry Laurie - Big Plug coming up.

Radiator make wetsuit shorts in either a 0.5mm or 1.5mm neoprene. You can get them from us directly or through site sponsors Pelican Point or SOS.

look up o'neill shopau.oneill.com they have heaps of that stuff and can ship it to any retailer in two days

lets just say it's a very euro look!
if the boardies aren't over the top of the nureyevs.
and if you are wearing just the wetsuit shorts it's a good chance that you've just had a back, crack and sack waxing.

Terrah - thanks for the advice. Call me "bubble-boy" but I have an aversion to wearing other peoples undergarments generally...given the general kind of activity that goes on in a wetty it would be a one way ticket to tinea of the worst possible kind

I remember way back when I was a surf grommet you couldnt even sell your wetty second-hand for "health reasons".

With regards to how I look in my wetty shorts in summer - if you knew me it would become quickly obvious that I dont give a lot of credo to dressing for others pleasure...if they dont like the look, they can look away - so long as I am comfy and not nursing crotch rash that would keep me off the water.
